note: Reached 230 articles in 6 months🎉 This is just a milestone. I will continue to write freely from here on out.

◇ This is my debut article✨

Today marks exactly half a year.
In this time, I have written 230 articles👏

Back when I was always worrying about the numbers,
I would check my view and like counts every five minutes (lol)

I felt like people with many followers were from another world,
and I spent every day feeling down about my own like counts.

I didn't know what I should write,
or what kind of titles would get read,
it was all a mystery.

Even so, strangely enough, I never thought about quitting.

I think it's probably because I love to write.

Even if I'm not evaluated by anyone,
even if no one reads my work,

if I want to write, I should just write.

Isn't that exactly how note should be?

Once I started thinking that way,
note became truly fun.

I don't post content to solve other people's problems.

But, because of my articles,
people have felt encouraged to move forward,
or have been able to let go of their doubts,

and as a result of me writing freely,
I've had more experiences where I was able to be of help to someone.

I am "not good at trying to sell things."

Common sales pitches, or
the 'things you should do' to sell,

I just can't bring myself to
fit what I want to write
into those kinds of reference books.

So, it doesn't sell (lol)

But, I think that's okay.

Even if I line up words that feel wrong,
they aren't my true feelings.

I want to write my thoughts just as they are,
without any decorations, without any spotlighting,
I want to write them exactly as they are.

Otherwise, my sense of self will disappear 💦

If it means erasing who I am just to sell,
then I will give up on selling.

If that sounds like the howling of a loser, so be it.

Because this is who I am.

At the six-month mark of starting to write on note,
I tried writing down my true feelings.

I will continue to write freely.

But that is not to force my opinions or values on others,

but rather for me to properly face
the inside of my own heart head-on.

Lastly,
to everyone who has read
my clumsy articles until now,
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude.

Thank you so much.

Well then, starting tomorrow, I'm entering my 7th month.

I'll keep building up from article 231.

Stay tuned!✨
