The Salvation of note [note] [How to write] [How to start]

Anyone can do it

Yesterday, I saw a post by artist Kyohei Sakaguchi and thought it was something every note user should see.

The basics of starting the act of writing are condensed in the post above.

When you don't want to do anything anymore, when you have no hobbies, or when you're going through a hard time, it's good to just start writing, no matter what.

Visualizing the invisible enemy

The biggest enemy when you're feeling uneasy is the invisible one, and by putting those feelings into words just as you feel them, the invisible enemy takes shape.

Once it takes shape, most things turn out to be not that big of a deal, and you end up thinking, 'Oh, I guess I was just feeling uneasy because I didn't know what was wrong, haha.'

Whether on social media or note, we are in an era where everyone is an artist, there are too many people who want to express themselves, too much content, and not enough disposable time.

Don't write because you want someone to read it; write for yourself first.

Write about trivial things.

Write about things that aren't organized.

Write about things that aren't pretty.

Write about things that are embarrassing.

Write about things that are boring.

Even if you keep writing things like that, gradually it becomes interesting, you start to like it, and it becomes a habit.

When even one person opens such a piece of poor writing, I get so happy I want to jump for joy.

Above all, you can archive the things you thought about today that you might forget tomorrow.

Writing is healing.

I got bored of the internet, had nothing in particular to do, and somehow started writing on note again, but this is healing.

It becomes today's healing and a record for some day in the future.

That is first and foremost for myself, and perhaps, just maybe, it might also be for someone else.

In that sense, the platform called note can be called a place of salvation.

Honestly, note is the best.

Bonus

Let's write something right now.
In a notebook, on a smartphone, on a PC.

For those who want a Pomera,

Wait a second.

You can use an older model electronic dictionary as a substitute for a Pomera.

For example, this model. Its strength is, above all, that it comes with a text memo function as standard equipment. In other words, you can easily input text with a keyboard even when you are out. It has its quirks, but once you get used to it, fast typing is possible.
With a smooth font, it is also good as a text reader.

I will talk about the merits of note.
A service I want to see continue forever.

There is no hobby as powerful as writing.
You can start anytime, anywhere.

Kyohei Sakaguchi mentioned at the beginning.

He appeared at a talk event by French artist JR at the Watari Museum of Contemporary Art in 2013.

Since then, I have been following Mr. Sakaguchi's works and posts on social media and in books.
Mr. Sakaguchi has an amazing talent for continuing things. He keeps changing every day.
Moreover, in recent years, he has become much more relaxed, reaching the level of a hermit.

Every time I check his work, I get energized.
