Surpassed 30,000. — That afternoon when views increased by 157 in 9 minutes
Introduction
30,001 views.
The moment I saw the screen,
I let out a voice without thinking.
"I did it..."
The number that had been stuck for three days,
finally moved today.
And—
it crossed 30,000.
In the morning, it was "741 to go"
When I opened the dashboard this morning,
it was 29,259 views.
741 more until 30,000.
"I wonder if it will reach it by today"
Thinking that,
I was preparing for my night shift.
At noon, it wouldn't stop
Before leaving for my night shift,
I took another look.
13:22 → 29,844
"Whoa, it's increasing a lot"
In the 5 hours since morning,
+585 views.
156 more until 30,000.
From there, it didn't stop.
I was curious, so I
looked again.
13:24 → 29,962
In just 2 minutes, +118 views.
"This isn't stopping."
I was watching the numbers in real-time.
13:26 → 29,995
5 more views to go.
My heart was pounding.
"Maybe it's over the mark now."
And then—
13:31 → 30,001
It broke through.
157 views in 9 minutes.
From 13:22 to 13:31,
in just 9 minutes,
29,844 → 30,001
+157 views.
It was completely
like a "dam release" happening.
No, it was already a "great flood."
It had been stalled for 3 days.
Until 3 days ago,
it was stuck at 28,757.
No matter how many times I refreshed, it didn't change.
"What does this mean?"
Thinking that, I wrote an article.
👉 The mystery of views not increasing—even though I thought it would be 30,000 soon
Gemini told me
"The dam's discharge is just stopped.
Behind the scenes, water is piling up.
When the system restarts, it will flow in all at once."
I believed it and waited.
And then—
Truly, what had been piling up flowed in all at once.
It started moving this morning
This morning, the views moved.
28,757 → 29,259
"Oh, it moved."
But, it didn't reach 30,000.
Even so, I was happy.
👉 The views moved!—But, the story of how it didn't reach 30,000
And then, at noon—it accelerated all at once
From morning to noon,
the rate of view increases accelerated.
In about 5 hours since the morning:
29,259 → 30,001
+742 views.
Moreover,
just in the 9 minutes from 13:22,
+157 views.
It completely poured in like a dam breaking.
3 months since starting NOTE
About 3 months since starting NOTE.
For over 90 days, I kept writing articles every day.
The story of knocking over a product with a forklift
The story of receiving a 'thank you' at a nursing care site
The story of facing things every day with AI
Returning after a blank period
The story of being rejected on CrowdWorks
I wrote everything honestly.
And then,
30,000 views.
Numbers aren't everything. But, I'm happy.
To be honest,
I don't think numbers are everything.
What's important is,
whether it reached someone
whether it moved someone's heart
whether I was able to face it properly myself
But—
The number 30,000 is, after all, something to be happy about.
I thought, "I've come this far."
That's what I felt.
To believe and to keep going
When my views stopped for three days,
honestly, I was anxious.
"Maybe it's not being read anymore."
But,
I believed and kept writing.
Then,
it started moving again.
Moreover,
it accelerated all at once.
Finally | CAT (Call And Thought)
If you,
"feel like your efforts aren't paying off,"
"or your numbers aren't growing,"
then.
For once,
I want you to think about it this way.
"Maybe it's not stopped, but building up."
And,
keep going even during that time.
Believe and wait.
Then,
it will move properly.
It will flow in all at once.
Because that was me.
Where can I go next?
Surpassed 30,000.
Next is,
40,000?
50,000?
I don't know.
But,
I will keep writing.
That is the only thing I have decided.
