To sustainably circulate the connections I received in May | I am creating a new 'Welcome Magazine' (in development)

In May as well, many people featured my articles and shared them with warm words😌💞

When I checked the number of articles that were introduced, it was more than I had imagined.

Along with feeling happy,

I began to think,

'In what form can I continue this without leaving my gratitude behind?'

This article is not only a record of the connections I received in May, but also a record of my thoughts on 'a way to continue expressing gratitude without strain'💞

I also received many ideas in an article where I previously consulted with everyone.

Among them, Amane-san taught me about

that method.

I also deeply nodded at the story that it became impossible to keep up when trying to write thank-you articles for each person individually.

I want to cherish the connections that have been delivered to me.

But, in order to continue expressing my thanks, I don't want it to become a form that fills up my heart and time.

Therefore, from now on, I think I will divide the way I express my gratitude into two.

To those who introduced me in their articles

Those who introduced me or my articles in their posts will be introduced here in this thank-you article.

If the same person featured me in multiple articles, I have posted the first one I was able to confirm this time.
Also, the order of posting is in the order of the dates I was able to confirm them.

I am gratefully reading each and every article that I have not posted as well.

To everyone who has reached out to me multiple times, thank you so much.

To those who added my work to your magazines

In May, 92 people added my articles to 122 magazines.

Thank you so much for creating new entry points for each article and delivering them to people I hadn't met yet.

Thank you truly.

Regarding those who added my work to your magazines, instead of listing everyone's names in this thank-you article, I am thinking of creating a dedicated magazine to welcome your articles with gratitude.

Following the method Amane-san taught me,

Not out of an obligation that says,

“Because you added me, I must return the favor,”

but rather a magazine created with the feeling of,

“I want to cherish and welcome the connections you have sent me in my own space.”

I will gradually welcome the articles of those who have added my articles to their magazines.

I want to cultivate a form that I can continue without strain, rather than trying to finish everything on the same day.

I will let you know again once the magazine is complete.

Receiving is also a form of circulation

I think that in the past, the more kindness I received, the more I felt,

“I must return the same amount,”

“I must thank them quickly,”

and I felt impatient.

However, perhaps gratitude is not something to be returned while feeling burdened.

Cherishing the feelings I have received while searching for a way that I can continue myself.

Through the comments and ideas I received this time, I was taught just that.

If there is anyone right now who feels,

“I must return the same amount,”

“I must return it quickly,”

regarding the kindness they have received from someone.

Perhaps returning the favor immediately is not the only way to show gratitude.

Finding a way that I can continue is also
one way to cherish these connections.

To everyone who read my articles.

To everyone who sent me likes and comments.

To everyone who passed my words on to others within your own articles and magazines.

Thank you so much for May as well.

Moving forward, I want to ensure that I don't just receive these connections, but connect them to a sustainable,
warm cycle.
