Nice to meet you.

To those who have stopped to read this, nice to meet you.
First, let me introduce myself.
I was born and raised in Hokkaido, and I don't think I've ever been away from Hokkaido for more than 10 days. I am a teacher who is reaching the age where I can see the finish line.
I like teaching, but I'm not very good at desk work. I'm struggling to keep my head above water as the wave of digitalization crashes into the world of education, and I spend my days thinking, 'ICT education? Well, everyone, good luck with that!'

A long time ago, when about half of desk work was still analog and no one knew the word 'cloud,' I used to write a daily class newsletter.
On B4-sized 'fax manuscript paper,' I would handwrite whatever came to mind for three years—things that happened in class that day, thoughts I had while watching TV, and things that were not very (or rather, hardly at all) useful to the students. Reading it back now, there are many flaws, such as typos and messy language, but I am a little impressed with myself, thinking, 'I really wrote a lot.'
However, I cannot write the kind of prose I wrote back then anymore.
Pathetically, my vocabulary has clearly declined.
If you don't write, you lose the ability to write.
Professional writers might not experience this, but I have definitely become a worse writer than I used to be.
And while spending my days as busy as ever, I recently started to think:
'I want to try writing about my daily life again.'
I still occasionally write what is called a grade-level newsletter, but it inevitably ends up being stiff content, written from a 'position of authority,' covering things like career information or 'what you need to do from now on.'
I saw an article somewhere saying, 'Blog-like newsletters are not good; you should post information that is useful to students in an easy-to-understand way.' I felt dejected, thinking that the kind of newsletter I had been writing for years was 'not good,' and since then, I have tried to include 'useful' information, but honestly, it's a boring newsletter.
Well, I suppose the writer shouldn't say such things. For the students who are forced to read it (though they might not be reading it at all), a newsletter that the writer finds boring is a nuisance, isn't it?
I really want to write because I enjoy it, I've been thinking lately.
Not high-and-mighty talk like strategies for new types of exam questions or recommended books for writing essays, but things like stories about my parakeet, what happened in yesterday's class, or my favorite Corporal—I want to scoop up these small, trivial things in my own words.
Like the class newsletter I used to write, I want to write freely about whatever comes to mind.
That is the feeling that led me to start writing this.
It might turn out that I'm only writing about things that really don't matter at all.
I would be happy if it could serve as a way for someone to kill time or take a breather.
Thank you for your support.
