[Recent Updates] Vol. 9 Continuing Without Letting Go of the Questions ~Thank you so much for everything in 2025!~

Good evening, this is Mizuka.

I am a dad spending every day with my 5-year-old daughter (in middle nursery school), my daughter in her late 1s, and my wife.

I live a life where I unravel the little tears in my daily life with children while writing on note.

Some feelings that have come into view

As I touched upon slightly in "Recent Updates Vol. 8", the question of "how I will face note from now on."

Even after writing that article, I have actually been thinking about it continuously somewhere in my heart.

It is not that I have found a clear-cut answer, but I have started to see some feelings that I can put into words.

The conviction not to quit

First, there is one thing that is clear.

That is, I will not stop my activities on note.

I don't know what my pace will be, but I feel that writing itself has already become a part of my life and my thinking.

Priorities for 2026

And one more thing.

In 2026, I want to make fertility treatment for a third child and the related (at each given time) adjustments in our home environment my top priority.

Including how I work as an extension of that, I want to value "getting things in order."

Rather than planning, questions

Just like before,

I think I will distance myself a little from the way of planning things out relatively rigidly, like "I'm going to use note this way from now on!"

I think I will distance myself a little from the way of planning things out relatively rigidly, like "I'm going to use note this way from now on!"

Instead, what I want to value is the question,

"What is it that I really, truly want to write about on note?"

the question.

Holding onto this question, I will steadily stack up each article one by one in front of me.

Through a period like that, I hope that what I really want to cultivate on note will naturally emerge once again.

To everyone who reads my work, thank you.

I believe that being able to organize my emotions little by little like this is thanks to everyone who engages with me through likes, comments, and adding my work to their magazines.

Of course, I am also happy for those who read quietly.

Truly, thank you so much.

These are the creators who added my posts to their magazines this month.

Liveliness and Rules

Thankfully, recently, there has been a continuous trend where someone adds my posts to their magazine every time I publish one.

While I am very happy about this, precisely because interactions have increased, it is becoming gradually more difficult to respond to everything in the form of a "comment."

I need to organize this aspect as one of my "rules for how I engage with note," otherwise, before I know it, things might start falling apart rather than just having a few loose threads.

So, I will take my time and organize my thoughts by putting them into words little by little like this.

Even so, when you continue your activities on note, changes happen one after another, and before you know it, every day has become quite lively, hasn't it?

Hmm, it's amazing, isn't it, note.

Well then.

I wonder if many of you have finally started your year-end and New Year holidays?
I have work until Monday, so I'm almost there.
This year-end and New Year period can be up to 9 consecutive days off, but... isn't that tough in its own way? Well, I wonder what kind of year-end and New Year it will be.
Everyone, thank you for 2025!
I think this will likely be my last note post of the year.
Let's meet again in 2026!
Wishing you a happy New Year~~~

This is a magazine that collects articles I've written about my reflections so far and future plans regarding my note posts, which I started in August 2025, in the form of monthly reports while also touching on actual access data.

This is the [note Exploration Record] series, which I started with the hope of growing it into a place where I can record the "deeply flavorful things" I feel and notice by "exploring the world of note".

↓ This is a magazine that collects [Learning-based Parenting Essays] written while weaving in lessons from books, video content, and articles by other note creators from time to time, while writing [Parenting Essays] daily.
