Lifenet Insurance x note x Voicy are hosting a submission contest: "#ThingsImGladIChooseForMyself"!
[Updated August 2]
A reference work by Yutanuki Yoshimoto has been published!
Lifenet Insurance, note, and Voicy are hosting a submission contest with the theme "#ThingsImGladIChooseForMyself".
Do you ever find yourself struggling with "choices" in your daily life? From trivial decisions like how to spend your day or what gift to buy a friend, to life-altering paths and careers, we choose something from various options every single day. Sometimes, when you can't solve a problem on your own, you might consult with family or friends. However, the one who makes the final decision is "you yourself." Sometimes, what you choose for yourself can bring unexpected happiness.
Therefore, this time, we are looking for episodes about "things you are glad you chose for yourself." Please feel free to post about your choices, whether they are small decisions in daily life or experiences where you thought things through and made a satisfying choice.
For your submission, you can use any format, including text, illustrations, manga, or videos.
When posting, please include the hashtag "#ThingsImGladIChooseForMyself".
Also, starting July 22, you can listen to broadcasts on the audio platform Voicy themed around "#ThingsImGladIChooseForMyself." Please use these as inspiration for your own post as well.

Background of the contest
Instead of signing up for life insurance without really understanding it because it's "too difficult," if you can choose for yourself, you might be able to reduce the money you spend on insurance and use that extra amount to enjoy your life.
Lifenet Insurance was founded with this thought in mind, and we have always valued "supporting the way each individual customer lives."
As you make choices throughout your life, there may have been times when you felt troubled, lost, or lacked confidence in the path you chose.
Even so, please tell us about things you realized were "good choices" when you thought about them later, crossroads you suddenly noticed when looking back, or even small daily choices where you thought, "Good job, me!"
