[Subconscious] A Love Letter to Myself Across Time | The First Letter from My Future Self to My Present Self Living in the Now

To the me who hasn't reached 0 to 1 yet. The answer given by my future self

"When will I be able to earn money on note?"

I suddenly asked my future self that question.
It's not that I'm impatient.
But I am curious.
After all, I am currently,
only two weeks and a little bit into starting note.
I have published paid articles,
and I write and publish free articles
whenever I can.
I am an amateur when it comes to writing,
but even so, while thinking about themes and structure,
I am writing as hard as I can in my own way.
And when I get comments or likes on them, I am truly very happy.

My followers are also increasing little by little.
That is exactly why I think.
After continuing like this,
when will Iachieve 0 to 1...?

I also have a genuine desire
to earn income as a side job.
If I could earn some income,
maybe my family could have a slightly luxurious meal out.
Maybe it could also contribute to
the cost of a day trip or a drive during Golden Week.
I seriously hope it leads to such small joys.

So I asked my future self.

Then my future self,
answered with surprising ease.

At that reply, I tilted my head a little.
I don't intend to be impatient.
But it's not that I don't care either.
So I asked back honestly.

No need?
I thought that surely couldn't be right.
Because for me, monetization is one of my goals.
There is no way there is no need.

Then my future self,
replied without wavering at all.

Different?????
Many question marks appeared in my head, but
at that point, I suddenly paused.

I had always thought that earning income on note
was the purpose of being here.
But my future self was not looking at that.
It seemed like she was looking at a completely different role.

Huh!? I was genuinely surprised.
So, does that mean I will
try other side hustles in the future?
Will a path that leads to income
in a different form appear?
I'm curious... very curious.
But my future self
didn't tell me what happens after that for now.

U-um?
While giving a reply that was like I understood but didn't quite understand, I asked further.
Because that was actually what I wanted to know most right now.

I'll say it many times,
I'll be blunt about it, okay?

I want to turn my thoughts, experiences, and knowledge into articles on note
and have as many people as possible read them,
and I want them to purchase and read my paid articles too-----!!
(I-I said it. I finally said it)

I mean,
is "attracting customers" really that clear-cut (;・∀・)

But... the word "saving"...
That word stuck in my heart the most.

But who on earth
am I
saving?
From what?

And besides?
Can I even do something like that?

Already doing it, you say?????
H-has the mystery deepened?

But after that,
no matter what I asked, my future self repeated the same things.


"It's not the time yet" "I'll send a sign when it gets closer"
"Attracting customers. And saving."

Honestly, I don't understand everything yet.
But I thought of one thing.
Maybe I'm not writing on note just to get results right away.
What I'm doing here is,
before chasing numbers,

connecting with someone through my own words.Writing sentences that reach someone's heart.
And perhaps, those words might be
saving someone a little bit without me even realizing it.

When I think of it that way,
aiming for income isn't wrong,
it's just that the order is different I felt.

Now is the time to build the foundation.
Now is the time to nurture words.
Now is the time to be found by someone.

The meaning of "not here" that my future self said wasn't a denial.
Perhaps it's a sign to
do what needs to be done here first
.

So I will write.
Not to blame myself
for not achieving 0 to 1 yet.
To nurture something here now
that will bear fruit in a different form someday.
And above all,
to go and properly receive the meaning of "saving" that my future self mentioned someday.

I think I'll ask about income again.
I'll ask about other side hustles someday too.
But right now, what I'm most curious about
is definitely "saving".

When I can meet my future self next time, I think I'll ask about that
a little more in detail.

Postscript

When I finished writing this article,
this article by Mochigome-kun/note Side Hustle Real-time Verification whom I follow
was uploaded, and after reading it,
I felt like the words from my future self had finally sunk in.

I see~, so that's how it is...
Let's build a solid foundation slowly without rushing♪
