Hashtag
The other day, while talking to Sato, whom I met at my part-time job, we discovered that we both use note. We decided to keep our accounts secret from each other because it seemed more interesting that way.
Sato said he has been posting on note for over three years now.
He started saying that it has become like an obligation, that posting every day is tough, and that since he only gets single-digit likes, he is thinking of quitting.
Wanting him to continue, I naturally recommended #WhatAreYouTalkingAbout. It is no exaggeration to say that the reason I continue to post is because I encountered this tag.
Sato was skeptical, but he decided that if something like that existed, he would give it a try and keep going. However, he came back with an unexpected question.
"By the way, what is a hashtag?"
Huh? I thought, are we starting from there?
I wrote it down to explain, thinking that would be faster.
#WhatAreYouTalkingAbout
Recalling the information board at the e-book publication party held in Shibuya the other day, I also made sure to emphasize, "It's not the character for 'well' (井)."
At the time, I thought Sato had probably understood it somehow.
However, the day after the collection started, I received a LINE message.
According to Sato, it wasn't being collected...
What! Why? I wondered.
Did you perhaps overlook it, Kinoko-san?
No, that shouldn't be possible!
Sato and I were looking forward to the day we might accidentally come across each other's posts without revealing our account names, but since I couldn't make sense of it, I got his account name from him and checked his article.
And then...
What was written was
Bowl WhatAreYouTalkingAbout
At that time, I laughed until my sides hurt.
Sato began to speak, though he expressed his discomfort.
And as I listened to the story, I couldn't laugh anymore.
It seems he has recently started seeing black spots in his field of vision.
I immediately recommended he see an ophthalmologist, and Sato went for a checkup.
The result was, as expected, floaters.
[End]
*Floaters (myodesopsia)
Main cause: The jelly-like substance inside the eyeball called the vitreous body changes due to age or fatigue, and small fragments floating there block light and become visible.
Common symptoms: Seeing black spots, thread-like objects, or haze that move along with your eye movements.
Dangerous cases: If symptoms suddenly worsen or are accompanied by flashes of light (photopsia), there is a possibility of retinal detachment, and an ophthalmological examination is necessary.
There are people around me who have this, but it seems it is often due to aging.
However, caution is required as it can sometimes be retinal detachment, hemorrhage, or uveitis. If you see black spots or thread-like shadows in your field of vision, or if there is any abnormality, please go to an ophthalmologist immediately!
Take care of your eyes!
So, let this article be an opportunity to rest your eyes for a moment or shift your gaze to something far away!
While you're at it, please try to stand up and reset your posture if you can.
but I apologize if anyone felt uncomfortable.
Well then, have a wonderful day✨
