💮I want to read articles on note that I can only read on note❗

It has been over three months since I started using note.

Although I started note somewhat aimlessly, there were many things I had to think about for the first time🙄.

Initially, I was thinking about what I should write and how, but lately, I have been thinking about "what to read and how" on note.

Looking back, what kind of articles have I preferred to read?

In a word, I feel like I have preferred to read "articles where you can hear the human voice."

No matter how different their hobbies or ways of thinking might be from mine, I think I want to hear the voice of the person who wrote the article. "Subjective" articles are far more interesting than "objective" ones.

Since it would be problematic to mention specific names, I will provide an imaginary example.
Between (A) and (B), which one would you choose?

(A) Objective article

A man visited a cemetery located at ○✕ degrees north latitude and ○✕ degrees east longitude. He was holding a bouquet of 💐 flowers in his hand.
It was clear ☀️, but by the time the man finished visiting the grave, a front had passed through, causing 5 millimeters of rain ☔ per hour to fall.

(B) Subjective article

I was a problem child, both when I was in junior high school and after I became a high school student.
I caused my mother a lot of trouble. Then, my mother suddenly died in a traffic accident.
I was grateful to my mother while she was alive, but in the end, I had to say goodbye without even being able to say a single "thank you."
I thought, "It's too late now," but I bought a bouquet of 💐 flowers at a flower shop with money I saved from my part-time job and placed it at the grave.
When I whispered to myself, "Mom, I'm really sorry," my voice must have surely reached my mother in heaven 👼.
It had been sunny 🌞 just a moment ago, but suddenly it started to rain ☔, as if my mother in heaven were crying. I felt that my mother had forgiven me.


From an outsider's perspective, (A) and (B) describe exactly the same situation.
However, I think the "subjective article" (B) is far better than the "objective article" (A).

I intentionally used an extreme example, but if you suppress your own feelings and try to be objective, you end up with an article like (A).

To put it further, I get tired of reading articles like objective economic analysis or objective self-help advice for getting along in life.

If it's objective information, wouldn't it be far more useful to read newspapers, magazines, or books than to read articles on note?

Rather than calm economic analysis, hearing stories about someone addicted to "adult toys" or someone saying, "I decided to wear red for my lucky underwear today," is (it's almost rude to compare) so much more interesting, and I feel like I've gained something from reading it.

Even if you think, "It's not a big deal for me!", for me, it often leads to, "I never thought of it that way!"

If you write about the "sense of discomfort" you feel toward others without worrying about what people will think or feeling embarrassed, it will definitely be a "worthwhile" article for others to read.

Because everyone is a different human being.

I don't want to hear stories about "Mr. X"; I want to hear your voice, the one and only you, heart and body.
