I love everyone who always supports me

Thank you always.

To those who click 'like', those who leave comments, and those who support me through paid articles or tips.

Truly, I notice every single time, and it makes me genuinely happy.

I wanted to convey that again, so I wrote this article today.

I might not have anything profound to say, but I would be happy if you read it.

Before I knew it, I had been supported this much

When I started sharing my thoughts, to be honest, the anxiety of 'will this reach anyone?' was greater.

Alone in front of the screen, searching for words, writing an article, and pressing the post button.

In those repetitive days, before I knew it, there was something I had been secretly worried about all along.

'Are these words reaching anyone's heart?'

While I kept writing with that feeling, you all quietly, but surely, told me that they were reaching you.

How much each little action of clicking 'like' has pushed me forward.

How much comments like 'Keep it up' and 'I always read your work' have warmed my heart.

And to those who purchase paid articles and those who support me with tips.

I am writing this article today because I want to properly convey how much your presence means to me.

A single 'like' changes my day

When you keep sharing, there inevitably come moments when you wonder, 'Is this right?'

After finishing an article, I read it over and over again.

'I should have done this differently,' 'Did I convey it well?'

There are nights when I agonize over these thoughts.

The morning after such a day, when I opened my smartphone, I saw a 'Like' notification.

In the comments section, there was a message saying, 'This article really hit home for me right now.'

How can I put that feeling in that moment into words?

The sense of relief that 'I'm glad I wrote this,' the motivation that 'I want to reach more people,' and that indescribable, gentle warmth that spreads through my chest all at once.

Every single 'Like' you press changes the brightness of my day.

You might not even realize it yourself, but it has such immense power.

Buying paid articles and sending tips

I have something special I want to say to those who have purchased my paid articles or supported me with tips.

I take your financial support as the most sincere expression of the feeling that 'you truly believe this has value.'

Everyone is cautious when they spend their own money, aren't they?

'Is it really okay to buy this?'
'Is it a waste?'

You must think about it at least a little.

And yet, you decided to buy it, which makes me truly, truly happy.

I feel like the sentiment of 'I hear you' and 'I love your words' is packed tightly into that choice,

and every time I receive it, my heart warms up.

More than the money itself, I feel like I have received your 'trust,' which makes me want to write even more carefully and keeps me on my toes.

Thank you so, so much.

I can keep going because there are people who support me

Sometimes I am asked, 'Is it hard to keep sharing content?'

I will be honest. There are times when it is hard.

There are days when I can't write well.

There are days when my mind goes blank, wondering, 'What kind of article should I write today?'

It's not that there aren't moments when I feel like I might not be able to go on.

But every time that happens, I remember.

The words that person left in a comment.

You, who pressed the 'like' button that day.

Someone who purchased a paid article.

That is what makes me write the next article.

The feeling of wanting to reach someone's heart again is what moves my fingers.

The reason I can keep going isn't just my own strength; it's because everyone is supporting me.

That is the truth, not just empty words or false modesty; it is my heartfelt realization.

Thank you, truly.

I wonder, will there be people who become my fans?

From here on, it's a little embarrassing, but please let me speak my honest feelings.

From now on, I want to reach even more people.

I want to create moments together with even more people where they feel, 'The pain I was feeling has eased a little.'

To do that, I need to be known by more people than I am now.

I feel that I must spread the word about my existence more and more.

So, I'm going to try saying something a bit bold.

I want you to become my fan

……I tried saying that, but it's a little embarrassing (laughs).

But I truly mean it.

The word "fan" might have a special ring to it, but to me, being a fan is nothing complicated.

It's just thinking, "I kind of like this person's articles," and continuing to read them.

It's remembering me suddenly and coming back to read again.

It's telling someone else, "There's this person who writes articles, you know."

That alone is more than enough to be a "fan."

Now might be your chance to become an "old-timer"

I intend to expand my reach even more from here on out, so I think the number of people who know me will grow.

But right now, at this very moment, you who are reading this article are one of my few readers.

In other words, now is your chance.

"I've liked that person since before they were that famous."

I think that the timing to become an "old-timer" like that is something you look back on later and feel, "I'm glad I met them back then."

I'm not saying anything exaggerated, really.

I just purely have this feeling that I want to walk together with even more people.

I will properly remember all of you who are here right now.

I say this with the hope that you will stay with me from here on out.

I would be so happy if you told me, "I'm a fan"

Actually, when people tell me in the comments, "I'm a fan" or "I always read your work," I'm so happy I could jump for joy.

I'll be honest, I'm incredibly happy.

I might not always react with much emotion, but inside, I'm going "Wow!!!"

So, if there is anyone who thinks, "I might be a fan, even just a little," I would be very happy if you could let me know in the comments.

That one word becomes the fuel that creates my next article.

I want to keep walking together with you from here on out.

Lastly, please let me say it once more.

To you, who always reads my work.

To you, who presses the 'like' button.

To you, who leaves comments.

To you, who buys my paid articles.

To you, who supports me with tips.

And to you, who is reading this article for the first time today.

Thank you, truly.

The fact that you are all here is the reason I share my thoughts.

I will continue to write articles that reach your hearts, even if just a little.

Let's keep walking together from here on out.
