The Day My First Paid Article Sold: Why My Heart Trembled

For the first time, someone purchased my paid article✨

I had been interacting with that person in the comments without realizing it, and I was so surprised when I found out later💦

“Wait, really? It actually sold?” My hands were shaking a little.

I had put it up for sale, but honestly, I was half-doubting whether it would really sell.

That’s exactly why my heart was pounding at that moment!

It’s a completely different feeling from the salary I earn working outside or from ad revenue.

The feeling that “my own life experience” was able to help someone.

I don’t think I will ever forget this experience in my life🥹

Just today

“Why do I want to earn money?”

I was just thinking about that. I’m doing a job that I neither like nor dislike, but somewhere in my heart,



“I want to finish this quickly and focus on my note.”

I find myself thinking that.

If I can, I want to make note and the things that grow from it my job.

More than earning money, I want the
realization that my experience helped someone else
☘️

I realized that is the reason why I work💛

Some of my friends say, “If someone gives you money, that’s fine, isn’t it?”

That’s a wonderful way to live, too, but I don’t think that would satisfy me.

To create with my own hands and move someone’s heart with my own experiences.

I think I want tosavor that process.

This event is a joy like the first paycheck I received in my student days😆

It was a 0→1 moment of “I could do it too!”.

I don’t want to forget this excitement, so I am leaving it here in writing.

To those who read this, and to those who purchased it.

Thank you, truly.
I love you all💗
