A wish I want to make come true this time. To me in July 2026

Participating in Kotoba-san's project🎋

Shiina-san, thank you for letting me use your wonderful thumbnail image♡

It's a project where you write your wishes in articles or posts and look back on them next Tanabata. It's just too wonderful...

However...
I have bipolar disorder and ADHD, so I'm terrible at imagining the future! (I can't see time)

I don't have a clear idea of where I want to be in a year, and I worry about it periodically. I like setting goals, but the goals I set are just "plans," like "finish the manuscript by the end of July"...

But I want to imagine it too! The future!
So!

I've been talking forever and ever and ever about how I "want the 365-day consecutive posting badge." I've been saying it, but I think my longest record was about 104 days. I keep giving up.

But I started posting again on July 1st.
This time, I don't want to give up. Even during a depressive episode, or even if I'm having trouble with my husband (lol), I want to show my face on note every day.

By next Tanabata, I hope the 365-day consecutive posting badge is shining brightly in my badge list!

From here on, this is a letter to my future self.

▼A letter to the me who achieved it in July 2026

Congratulations!!!!!!!!
And thank you!!!!!!!!
I've wanted this for so long, I don't know why, but this badgeーーーー!!!!!!!!

I'm sure a lot of things happened over the year!!
I mean, they're happening now too!! Like having huge arguments with my husband and posting notices that I'm taking a break from note every few days!!

Are you happy now? You probably don't know. I don't know either. I do think I'm blessed, though.

But since I, for whom writing is almost the only way to feel "alive," have continued to write on note for 365 days, I wonder if something has changed a little from now... how is it?

Knowing me, I think you're probably saying your next goal is 500 or 1000 days. Take it easy~.

Also, it seems this Tanabata project is a recurring one, so I'd be happy if you've become able to imagine wishes other than consecutive posting. If you haven't, force yourself to come up with one!

For now, my goal for this month is to work on building a healthy lifestyle that allows me to balance original and fan fiction writing while posting on note continuously. I'll do my best! Looking forward to your continued support.

▼ A letter to myself in July 2026 who couldn't achieve it

Well, I had a feeling that might happen. (lol)
I get it... I gave up after about 104 days too... But I figured if I'm going to aim for something after 100 days, it should be 365 days...

Is your sleep disorder cured? Hmm, I don't really feel like it is... (since it's been like this for over a year now...) At the very least, are you eating your meals properly?

Even if the continuous posting streak was broken, are you enjoying both note and fan fiction? If you're enjoying them, then it's fine. The badge isn't going anywhere, you know. Please try your best again. You're aiming for it again anyway, right?

It hasn't even been half a year since I started note in earnest, but I've had opportunities to talk with so many people and it's been so much fun. I never imagined back in the winter that I'd be interacting with others like this.

In short, as long as you're enjoying note, it's okay, but since I'm sure you're still aiming for that badge, I want you to do your best in a way that doesn't strain yourself. You are aiming for the badge, right? (lol) I wonder why we want it so much. I have no idea anymore.

In any case, thank you for reading this article in July 2026. I think I'll probably still be continuing note, so I'm grateful for just that. Looking forward to your continued support.
