What I've learned from posting every day. A re-introduction!

Good morning! I'm Kotetsu🐈‍⬛
It's been about 3 months of daily posting, so I've decided to re-introduce myself🌸

The reason is
that while continuing to post every day since April,
I realized that the content I write has been changing little by little.

So, for everyone who follows me,
I wanted to let you get to know me again,
and decided to rewrite my self-introduction.

About Kotetsu (me)🐈‍⬛

My name is "Kotetsu."
I have three children; my eldest son started working this year and lives near our home.
My eldest daughter is a high school student, and my second son is in his third year of junior high. He is currently in the middle of his rebellious phase and has been staying home from school.

On note, I write about my days with my second son and my life with my cats, focusing on my struggles as a parent and the joy of small daily growth.
From now on, I hope to also write about new topics like beauty, useful household tips, and "various things that catch my eye" from a housewife's perspective.

Things I'm currently into✨

What I'm most into right now is "Mercari."
It's been almost two years since I started. I'm still a beginner, but
I enjoy interacting with buyers and packing items, so
I plan to write articles about my experiences on Mercari as well.
I'm also hooked on writing on note😆

About my hobbies🐾

Recently, I started glass art.
It might be too early to call it a "hobby," but it's very fun.

And actually, scuba diving too.
I got my license at 18, and when I visited Cairns on a working holiday at 24, I even got my dive master certification.

I was away from it for a long time after marriage and childbirth, but
last year, when my second son said he wanted to try diving, I dove with him for the first time in 15 years.
Even though I was flustered, it was a precious experience that reminded me of the fun from back then and made me want to do it again.

Besides that,
• Baking bread and sweets
• Watching dramas and movies
• Reading
• Gardening
• Cafe hopping
• Chatting with friends
and so on, I enjoy my daily life.

Things I like🥰

As for food... gyoza, coffee, bread, tea, tortillas, takoyaki, eel, sashimi, sushi, and spicy food!
I love meal times with my whole family and playing with my cats.
I also like alcohol, and drinking parties or lively times with friends are precious moments for me.

Work history and background🍀

I started working at 16.
I didn't go to high school but attended a vocational training school, where I earned certifications in bookkeeping (level 2), computer skills (level 2), word processing (level 3), and penmanship (level 3).
After working in office administration for a small business, I saved up money and went to Cairns on a working holiday at 24.
At that time, I also worked part-time at an izakaya after my main job, saving money desperately.

After returning to Japan, I felt that customer service suited me, so I started working at a cafe.

How I started note🌱

At first, it started because I was just somewhat interested in "writing articles."
I was happy to be able to write freely and meet people with similar feelings.

But after my second son stopped going to school,
I wanted someone to listen to my anxiety and my feelings as a parent, so I restarted note.
I wanted help, I wanted to be understood. That desire is what led me to start writing about my feelings.

And now🌼

I have been posting every day since April 1st of this year.
I feel like "continuing to do something" leads to self-confidence.
I am slowly putting into words things I want to convey to someone, and things I would be happy to have understood.

What I want to write about from now on🩷

• Lessons learned through my second son's school refusal
• Life with my cats
• Useful beauty information
• Reviews of movies, dramas, and books
• Things I feel daily and slightly useful information from a housewife's perspective.
I think I'll also sprinkle in stories from my past (like working holiday stories and failures😅).

Recently, "writing on note" itself is becoming a hobby.
Since I decided to write every day, I've found more meaning in daily life and have faced my words more often.
That is also one of my joys.


✨Thank you so much for all the likes, follows, and comments😊
It is very encouraging.

I look forward to your continued support🙇‍♀️
