I am wondering if I should continue as I am.

I started posting on note this February.

In mid-May, I had two opera performances overlapping, and despite the busy days of rehearsals and preparations, I kept writing.

Then, unexpectedly—

I remembered things I hadn't even realized myself, and reclaimed important feelings I had forgotten.

Above all, the biggest thing was the realization that "Oh, I really loved writing."

I want to keep writing. That is what I felt.

I have grown my presence on social media by leveraging the power of communities, so when I learned that note had a similar mechanism, I had no hesitation in joining.
I intend to continue using it for a while longer.


Before I knew it, I had 4,000 followers and 50,000 monthly views in five months.


As far as operating a note account goes, it might indeed be a fast pace.

For example, on Instagram, I once grew my following to 10,000 in three months.
I didn't feel like I was working as hard as I was then, so it didn't really sink in.

But lately, there is something that has been bothering me a little.


The comments have stopped completely.
And that happened right around the time I hit 4,000 followers and 50,000 monthly views.


I used to get comments on some article every day, but now, they have stopped dead.

It might be temporary, but I have a feeling this state might drag on for a while.


I am sure I know how to increase views, how to get more likes, and how to encourage comments.

But right now, I don't feel like doing those kinds of "superficial improvements."


It is true that I reached this point quickly, but—
one could also say that "if I could gain 1,000 followers in a month, I just repeated that for four months."

On note, there are things you can do perfectly well with just 1,000 followers,
and there are things that become invisible when you only look at the numbers.

However—
amidst the past I have built up on other social media and the reality of my days that don't change much,
I also have a part of me that thinks, "I need to meet more people."

I haven't reached my initial goal yet.
I had decided that I would only start wondering once I reached that point, but—

I find myself suddenly stopping in my tracks.


Should I continue as I am?
Or would it be better to stop once?

I find myself thinking about things like that.


If it were you—
what would you do in a time like this?
What would you want to do?

If you read this and felt something, I would be happy if you could let me hear your voice.
