What I learned from posting on note for 100 days
With yesterday's post,
I achieved 100 consecutive days of posting!
…That said,
I didn't actually start out thinking,
“I'm going to post for 100 days in a row!”
😂
In fact, halfway through,
I was quite anxious.
Around the 30-day mark,
I thought, “I should stop somewhere soon…”
“It becomes a pressure once you start being conscious of consecutive posts…”
Even while thinking that,
before I knew it, I kept posting—
and as a result…
100 consecutive days of posting,
I achieved it! 😂 lol
But there is one thing I can say:
“It didn't feel like I was forcing myself to continue.”
Rather than,
“I have to post every day…!”
I was just writing what I thought at the time,
showing things I made,
or connecting with someone.
Before I knew it,
that had piled up into 100 days.
Thanks to that,
I surpassed 2,000 followers in 3 months,
and here I am now.
Whether on note or in life,
I am the type who starts by
“just giving it a try.”
Honestly,
I'm not good at reading instruction manuals either,
so I learn as I go. 😂
But recently,
I thought that might be fine.
You don't have to aim for 100 points from the start.
Even if it's 60 points,
or 70 points,
or just a whim,
just put it out there first.
Whether it's evaluated or not,
first try to give shape to what's inside you.
When you do that,
you sometimes encounter discoveries you never expected.
Even with my sea glass art,
rather than the pieces I thought,
“This turned out great!”
the pieces I thought were,
“Maybe this is a bit subtle…”
often get a bigger response on note.
Conversely,
when I made a 4-panel comic about a character I thought of on a whim
called “Gurakko,”
people told me,
“It would be interesting to write a story from here.”
You really don't know until you try.
Of course,
sometimes they get rejected later too. 😇 lol
But,
when you try your hand at various things,
there is a mysterious moment when the dots connect.
“That experience was connected to this.”
“That failure wasn't a waste.”
Days when you can think that
come later.
Life might be the same.
Things you thought were meaningless at the time
might be useful to someone
or help you
years later.
I think small challenges and consistency
have the potential to grow significantly later,
even if you don't see results immediately.
Of course,
I haven't achieved any great success myself.
I've taken many detours,
and I've repeated failures many times.
But if my current activities
can someday become something my future self thinks,
“I'm glad I kept going back then,”
I think that alone is meaningful enough.
That's why I think
stopping is also important.
Rest when you're tired.
Change direction if you think it's wrong.
Even time that looks like a detour
often becomes your own nourishment
when you look back later.
I want my children to live
“a life where they can get back up even if they fail”
rather than
“a life without failure.”
If it's a path you decided on yourself,
even if it was wrong,
that experience will surely support your future self.
That's why,
without fearing failure,
it might be important to just try it first.
If you are currently standing still,
thinking, “I'm scared to try new things,”
or “I can't break out of my shell,”
I think it's okay not to force yourself to move yet.
When you need to rest,
you should just rest properly.
When you can't think of anything,
you don't have to think.
When you feel like moving again,
you can just start walking little by little.
At such times,
please watch me from behind,
as I, an unfinished person,
try various things first
and move forward while stumbling. ✨
And if,
seeing someone like me
piling things up,
a day comes when you think,
“Maybe I'll try it too,”
then let's move forward together at that time.
…That said,
I might suddenly get tired again,
stop,
or suddenly change direction. 😂 lol
But,
including those times,
I want to cherish them from now on.
Thank you so much
for these 100 days. ✨
