🌸Introducing Mitsuru-san's new work🌸
This is an introduction to a new work by Mitsuru-san, the co-author of "White Spring ~A Song for You~"!
The elementary school student who jumped into the river
"If you don't hurry, I'll throw your school bag into the river."
I took the plunge and jumped into the river with all my might.
In the split second before hitting the water, a strange, floating discomfort arose, as if I were leaving my heart on the ground, or as if my chest had become hollow. Once I submerged into the water, my clothes suddenly became heavy. My body wouldn't move the way I wanted it to.
"...Tell me the truth properly."
My mother's eyes were filled with tears. I couldn't take it anymore and told her the whole story of the bullying. Tears overflowed endlessly, and I lost my voice as I spoke.
When I finished talking, my mother hugged me. Her body heat transferred to my cold body, and it felt warm.
A story about a sad bullying experience from elementary school days.
When you are bullied by a childhood friend, you can't help but feel unable to speak up strongly, and you feel like you're being crushed by various complex emotions, such as the guilt of being a bad kid together and the sadness of not being able to resist.
The heavy, oppressive description of jumping into the river was so vivid, as if it were a living thing, and it really struck a chord with me.
Perhaps because I read the painful, painful first half of the story, I could feel the mother's deep love, and I couldn't help but tear up😭💓
I admire women who can accept everything about their children in this way and possess such resolute strength🌸
I'm so glad you had such a wonderful mother!
Like walking on the edge of the earth
Conveying or knowing the truth is not always right. This world is overflowing with information that we don't need to know.
For a short time, we shared a lonely and special feeling, like walking on the edge of the earth, while interspersing it with music.
A boundary line where, if you took one wrong step, you would disappear. I was convinced that only I, living in the darkness, was special, and that I was the one who knew the truth of this world.
But we were too clumsy to be together.
I wanted to be special, so I kept playing a different version of myself.
I wanted love, so I hurt many people.
Each time, a scar like one deeply scratched by claws remained deep in my chest.
That was proof of my existence.
Sometimes, triggered by something, those old scars ache. Bringing with them both warmth and sadness.
I wonder if they are still alive today.
"Telling the truth or knowing the truth is not always the right thing."
These words felt heavy and profound.
It is hard to know what kind of reasons connect people to one another.
And the way people's attitudes change drastically when they feel they haven't been treated kindly is also scary 😱💦
It was a slightly horror-tinged essay that felt like catching a glimpse of the hidden side of human nature.
It's an outrageous story, but 💦, the way the essay concludes is so masterfully written that it blows everything else away...!! lol
Even if someone else wrote a similar story, I always think that there aren't many people who could reach the same conclusion as Mitsuru-san 🌸
※ As for a somewhat similar story, this one might be it... lol ⇓⇓

[Super Important] The New Trial and Error Period. | Nao Kurosaki
Whether it's note or business, there are times when you
"catch a favorable wind".
However, humans are often made to be arrogant.
When things go well, as you know, we tend to get carried away as if to say
“Look at me.”.Well, you'll fall.
The world isn't so easy that things go well forever.
Actually, it's quite well-designed.
And so, those who have fallen start to panic.
In short, you enter a
"period of decline"
.That said, you can't just stay that way.“If you fall, you rise.”
Well, that's a fundamental principle of the world.
I completely agree!
This is a divine article I fully agree with💖
There are many points that anyone engaged in some kind of activity, whether at work or on note, must keep in mind.
When a peak arrives, decline is also near.
There is also a theory that the time when you start being pampered by those around you is the most dangerous💦
I want to make sure I don't forget to keep thinking about the next project as well.
The points necessary to prevent "decline" are in the article♪
Thank you so much, as always🌸
"Experiences of feeling a sense of unity" - aren't they becoming rare? | Kyoiku LIBRARY Ryoyan
Group gymnastics at sports day.
Campfires during outdoor learning.
Traditional local festivals.
Events like these are tough to prepare and practice for, but when we accomplished them together, we were able to experience a
sense of unity
.Without any complicated thoughts, we just
rejoiced together, holding hands, at the moment of accomplishment
.By experiencing such a sense of unity, we strengthen our
connections with people
instead of shutting ourselves away in our own tiny shells.
Perhaps due to the times, it seems that opportunities to experience a sense of unity are decreasing, both at school and in the workplace.
As a result, connections with others may be becoming thin, and we might be losing opportunities to live with deep compassion and humanity.
According to Ryoyan, when we "deeply understand each other," specific parts of the brain become active.
It is a mystery of human life that when our emotions are deeply stirred and we build human bonds, reactions related to brain function also occur.
In any case, what is important is to have experiences that foster a sense of unity and to gain opportunities to hone our empathy.
It would be great if we could create some kind of opportunity for children to cultivate their empathy!
Shibajun-san
Why are textbooks "boring"?
The reason is simple.
There is the issue of writing style, but
more than the writing style itself,
"my perspective"is nowhere to be found.
Flip your perspective 180 degrees!
What readers are really looking for is...
unexpectedness andyour own unique ideas.
Why do we feel that textbooks are boring?
I think the focus on this fundamental question is amazing, but
certainly,the reason textbook-style writing is boring is because you cannot feel an individual's perspective or unique ideas,isn't it?
Sometimes, flipping the kind of writing found in textbooks 180 degrees and incorporating new perspectives and ideas into your writing is the secret to writing that gets read.
For those of you who thought, "Huh? What does that mean?"
For more details, please be sure to check out Shibajun-san's article 🌸
Thank you so much for always writing easy-to-understand and exciting articles.
I have launched a membership. | Maiton-san
With this membership, I want to give back to everyone who becomes a member in the best way I possibly can.
That is why I named it the 'Gift Shop'.
I'm always happy to receive a souvenir from Maiton.
I want to make it a place where people feel that way.
Let's create a place on note where we can have the best time together.
I am convinced that I can achieve this with you, who resonates with me.
The one and only Maiton-san has started a membership 🌸
Speaking of Maiton-san, the range of their work is incredibly wide, from humor-filled essays to emotionally rich pieces that bring tears to your eyes!
Even so, they always leave warm comments, which seems to be why their fan base is growing and staying loyal.
For those who want to learn note strategies or monetization from Maiton-san, this membership might be your chance?
For more details, head over to Maiton-san's note!
Reflecting on my 10th month on note ~ Good is the enemy of great
(Intentionally stepping away from note)
I thought I should take a moment to reflect on myself. That is because,
even if I don't post every day,
if I continue at my current pace,
following the law of inertia,
even if I get the same results as before,
I will not get results better than before,
I am convinced of that.
GOOD is the enemy of GREAT
Right now, I'm stuck at 'GOOD'.
To use an analogy,
it's like being told by many women that 'you're a nice guy' (bitter laugh).
Being treated as a 'nice guy' is,
frankly speaking, not being popular.
(What is this story about?)
When I thought about it that way,
I consider the single goal of 'interaction is fun' to be 'concluded' for now.
Tako-sensei, an adult who calmly analyzes his achievements on note over the past 10 months.
It is often said that note is all about interaction, but in reality, to achieve serious results like monetization, constant effort and ingenuity are required.
It is common to find that you don't get results proportional to the time spent, and how much time you can invest depends on the individual's available time and money.
Knowing when to 'cut your losses' is also one of the major decision-making skills required of a leader.
This time, I believe Tako-sensei made the major decision to 'cut his losses' based on a calm analysis of the situation, without being swayed by emotion!
I feel a little sad that your activity on note will be scaling back, but
I believe it is no coincidence that we both arrived on note at the same time and formed a connection.
I have nothing but gratitude for the incredibly passionate note life I've shared with Tako-sensei.
You are a dear friend now and always, and no matter what path you choose to take, I will be cheering you on!
I would like to re-introduce this deeply moving article once again 🌸↓↓
Gratitude 🌷 Surpassing 200,000 PV on note 🌟 An analysis of 15 of Marika's popular articles ✨
I have mixed feelings, as if it happened in the blink of an eye, yet also wondering if it finally took this long to reach 200,000 views!
Come to think of it, I have shared a lot of content, but honestly, compared to the 3,100 books by Master Ryuho Okawa, I feel like I might not have even introduced 10% of them... haha!
Even so, I believe I have prioritized introducing the basics of how to live as a human being and the proper state of mind.
Mariccha has surpassed 200,000 views on note!
She will be celebrating her 1st anniversary on note in early September.
As mentioned in the article, she seems to feel the difficulty of introducing other people's stories.
I imagine there must have been quite a bit of trial and error in figuring out how to make them relatable.
Since we both have a tendency to push ourselves too hard (haha), I hope she continues to grow as far as she can without overdoing it.
I look forward to our continued friendship 🌸
Captivate your readers! Tips on formatting to get them to read through smoothly | Wataro-san
My motto is to write text that is easy to understand, but
there is one thing I am
extremely mindful of.
That is,
the "format"itself.
This note is no exception.
Mostly,reading text through a screen.
The problem is how it is read.
Wataro-san is actively posting on both note and Stand.fm.
The strength of the momentum-gaining Wataro-san might be his clear analytical ability regarding writing.
The way things are read changes between paper books and online articles, doesn't it?
Especially for articles read online, such as on note,
in what format do you want them to be read?
Thinking through to that point and writing articles that better meet the readers' needs might be the secret to success.
If you want to know about Wataro-san's refined writing theory, please look forward to his articles and Stand.fm broadcasts 🌟
🌱 I don't know where to draw the line! "Commitment" vs. "Selfishness" | Kaora-san
Butdon't you think the word "commitment"
has a somewhat good impression?Even if someone is a stubborn old man,
I get the feeling that something good will come out of it.
It seems like it could be a factor in popularity, too.
However, if it's a bit too strong,
it will surely trouble those around them.
Definitely.
The word "commitment" (kodawari) can also mean "fixation" (kodai).
One of the developmental disabilities,
[Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)]has the characteristic of
"having strong fixations."
It is difficult for the person themselves to explain this characteristic well,
and it is highly difficult to gain the understanding of those around them.
"Watching over" does not mean doing nothing,
but rather casting aside your own preconceptions and accepting things as they are.
While accepting them, you must
firmly discover the changes occurring deep within the child's heart.
There are times when a child keeps fixating on one thing, aren't there?
Where is the line between what is allowed as "commitment" and what is "selfishness"?
I think it is often difficult to judge.
I myself have quite a strong sense of commitment, and I think I spent a long time in a phase where I wouldn't be satisfied unless it was my personal best!
However, I feel that children with strong fixations don't realize they have a personality with strong fixations, and they live with the sense that it is perfectly natural.
What is important for parents is to discard preconceptions and "accept" the changes happening deep within their child's heart.
I think this is wonderful maternal wisdom, typical of Kao-cha.
I want to become a mother who can understand, accept, and nurture the strengths of any child, regardless of their personality.🌸
In reality, there are many things that happen, and I end up getting frustrated sometimes...💦 lol
Pledging with the Sky, or End Summer | Kazuhiko Hayakawa
It is a small event at the end of summer.
My son took me bass fishing.
"Cast it a few dozen centimeters short of the opposite bank," he said.
When I told him I wasn't getting any bites, he switched places with me.
Watching that, my wife said one thing.
"You are having done for you what you did for him... ten years ago."
Of course, I wasn't expecting anything in return. I just spent every day repeating the things I thought my child would want me to do at that time. I still don't know if that was the right thing to do.
An episode from when you went fishing with your grown-up son.
The things you used to do for your son so he could fish well, he is now doing for you.
While I feel the passage of time and a touch of sadness, the sight of your son, who has grown up so well, is dazzling.
I wonder if I have truly been able to do the things my child wanted me to do...?
I think many parents look back and feel that way.
There is no right answer to raising children, but surely, the fact that you faced your child with all your might at every moment is the greatest love of all.🌻
[Poem] Regret | Ayano Reizei
As if bathing in the golden sunlight
scattered in the air, I was happy
tracing it repeatedly with a painful heart
countless times
living the same time
without revealing its true form, the regret
alluringly draws life in
before it becomes an unreachable past
just a little longer
dozing off slowly
While the scene of the end of summer comes to mind, this deep poem that hints at regrets for a loved one left a strong impression!
The feeling of reluctance to let go of something you've cherished, wanting to hold onto it just a little longer... it's so emotional and really hits home. 🌸
I hope to be able to write poetry with such rich expressive power someday.
Thank you for the wonderful poem. ♪
The obsession with names | Saka. sensei
I personally think, "It's better if an account name is memorable!"
It's not a half-width, but a full-width period.
Doesn't "Saka．sensei" stand out more than "Saka. sensei"...?
Doesn't "Saka．sensei" stand out more than "Saka. sensei"...?
Saka. sensei, who has more attachment to naming than anyone else.
I never knew that even a single period could have such meaning. 🥰🌸
In the article, there is a whole list of celebrities and groups with punctuation or symbols in their names!
Perhaps the battle for popularity starts even from something like this.
If you are doing some kind of outreach activity and feel like you're struggling to grow, changing your name might be one option to consider. 🌸
For more details, please see Saka. sensei's article.
