19. Reasons to Keep Sharing

Sharing via Spaces

This is a story from just the other day.

About once a month, I host a
Space on X regarding "school non-attendance."
The most recent one was on Monday, May 6th.

My core theme for sharing on note is also "school non-attendance."
At first glance, the theme might seem heavy,
but I especially want my Spaces to be pleasant to listen to,
and I hope to share in a positive way
without creating a heavy atmosphere.

However.

During the Space the other day,
perhaps due to unstable signal because of the weather,
or maybe a technical issue with the Space itself,
the cause is unknown, but
unfortunately, there were several people
who could not hear the audio.

Also, even for those who could hear it to some extent,
the sound was cutting in and out,
far from being pleasant to listen to...

Even after joining the Space,
people left messages like "It's cutting out, so I'm leaving"
or "I can't hear it, so I'm leaving" and dropped out.
They took the time to come and listen,
so I felt truly sorry...

I had coordinated the schedule with the guest,
and Noah, my co-host,
was trying so hard to keep the connection going,
I felt apologetic in every direction.
I just didn't know what to do...

Admittedly,
part of it is the theme,
but it's not a Space that usually has
a large number of visitors to begin with.
Plus, it's only been a few times since I started.

I don't think it's that easy to "reach" people.
It's not that I was being conceited,
but I wondered, is it really this hard to reach anyone...?

Whether on X, note, or Instagram,
even if I keep sharing in the hope that it reaches someone who is struggling,
if it doesn't reach them, is there any point?
It's sad...

Actually, I was starting to lose my confidence quite a bit.

Even if it's just a little bit...

The next day.
As I opened X while still feeling sad,
there was a reply that encouraged me.

To my surprise!
Someone had listened to the archive!

In the archive,
although the sound cut out a little,
the content was understandable.

They couldn't listen in real-time,
but they shared their thoughts
after listening to the archive.

I was truly happy.
I thought, "I see, it does reach people..."
Even if it's not spectacular,
if I keep going, it will reach the people who need it,
little by little!

I cannot offer
a clear solution.
However, I have had various experiences,
researched things, learned things,
and gained many emotions along the way.

Even if they are small,
if those things can become a little light
for someone...

I will surely remember this experience
from time to time in the future,
and I think it has become a reason to keep going.

I want to keep this feeling in mind
and continue sharing in the future.
(Of course, I also need to make various improvements
for the future, though 😊)

I learn something new almost every day.
Once again,
thank you all so much✨
