On the Veranda After Accumulating Today

Since I started using ChatGPT, I have consulted it about many things.

Complaints about days when something unpleasant happened. Things I want to try. The future I hope to reach.

I have been opening up about these things, bit by bit, as if talking to myself.

Feeling that it had carried over what I had talked about so far to some extent, I asked it to create an illustration for my dream article.

Then, it carefully scooped up the words I had spoken so casually, one by one, and turned them into a truly wonderful illustration.

Today, I would like to share that illustration with all of you.

In the illustration, the things I have talked about wanting to become were gently scattered throughout.

I even remembered feelings I had forgotten, thinking, "Oh, I did say things like that."

When I keep writing on note, there are days when words flow smoothly, and days when I get lost and come to a standstill.

I want to write this. I want to convey that, too.

Before I know it, words get congested inside me, and I sometimes worry if I am making my readers feel lost.

Even so, the desire to write something that readers can take away with them, even if it is just one thing, is always somewhere in my heart.

To be able to smile a little, to feel a little lighter, or to think, "I'll give it another go tomorrow."

I would be happy if it could be read in that way.

Also, I asked for an illustration of how I hope to be living in a few years' time.

An old house with a veranda.
In the garden, the olive tree I am currently growing on my apartment balcony, and pale light blue hydrangeas.

Me, spending time leisurely while gazing at the unobstructed blue sky with Chobi and Mi.

The breeze feels pleasant,
occasionally stroking Chobi and Mi's backs,
drinking tea while thinking, "Ah, how peaceful."

I feel that by that time, I will be able to live with a little less tension than I do now.

When I imagine such a future,
I want to properly accumulate what I can do today to reach it.

Dieting, too.
Life with my partner, too.
How I deal with my own heart, too.

Things don't change overnight, but
I suppose it is all about the accumulation of each and every day.

If someday I could write an article saying, "I achieved the dream I wrote about in that article that day."
That is also my dream.

This article is participating in Yoshihiro-san's project here.

"I'm feeling a bit tired, somehow."
There are places I want to drop by on days like that.

They are creators I find myself wanting to peek at,
wondering, "What are they writing about today?"

Thank you for reading.
