I want you to read this on days when you wonder, 'What am I even doing?'

~A story about how your 'roots' are growing properly~

Hello, I'm Lolo🌱

On your way home from work, or in a sudden moment,
don't you ever think, 'What am I even doing?'

I do. Quite often.

But you know, those days when you feel that way,
aren't actually 'days where you're standing still.'

🌱Even if you can't see it, you're moving forward

You know how plants
have times when they don't look like they're growing?

No new buds, no changes.
Honestly, it makes you think, 'Is this okay?'

But at those times, what they're doing is

stretching their roots.

Under the soil, where you can't see,
they're slowly getting used to their environment.

🌱People are the same; it's not stagnation, it's a 'preparation period'

On days when work doesn't go well, or
days when things just don't click,

you think, 'Ah, I'm no good,' right?

But in terms of plants,

you're just still in the middle of spreading your roots.

You're at the stage of properly understanding the soil (environment),
learning how to absorb water,
and building a foundation so you won't fall over.

🌱Actually, getting impatient will just make you wither

What's scary here is
getting impatient and thinking, 'I have to do something.'

It's a common thing with plants, too:

・Not looking healthy → Add fertilizer
・No changes → Give too much water

This is usually counterproductive.

People are the same;
if you get impatient and force yourself to move, you usually just spin your wheels.

🌱'What am I doing?' is proof that you're moving forward

Conversely,

people who aren't thinking about anything
don't even think things like that in the first place.

The fact that you're worried means

you're properly facing yourself.

That is a very important time.

🌱So today, this is enough

Even on days when it looks like nothing has changed,

・You went to work properly
・You managed to finish the day
・You thought about things, even a little

That alone is enough.

Plants don't grow rapidly every single day either.

But one day, suddenly,
you'll think, 'Oh, it's grown.'

🌱Summary

Days when you think, 'What am I even doing?' are

days when your roots are growing.

Even if you can't see it, you're moving forward.

So it's okay.

You'll be fine.

Eventually, you'll sprout, for sure🌱
