Making a Wish Upon a Star🌌
🎋I want to reach 1,000 followers on note by July 7, 2026
🎋I want to be someone people think of as "the nurse on note"
🎋I want to keep saying, "I'm Shoko from the Writing Club!"
I'm writing these wishes down, feeling a bit shy, but being straightforward about them.
Right now on note, I write about myself as a nurse.
And about my private self.
I write without pretense, just as I am.
Things that happened at work. Interactions with patients.
Days that didn't go well. Days that made me happy for some reason. Days I felt frustrated.
The sudden feelings of discomfort that arise, and
the moments when I realize, "Oh, this is how I provide nursing care."
Because I want to put those days into words and leave them behind.
If that can stir someone's heart even a little,
or if someone can nod and say, "I get it"—
I think that's an amazing thing.
That's why I write as honestly as I can.
Without trying too hard to look cool, but without cutting corners either.
Staying true to myself, so that what I want to convey reaches people clearly.
……But, sometimes I do feel a little anxious.
Is there any point in writing things like this?
Am I getting my message across?
Sometimes I think I'm "small" for letting the numbers make me happy or sad.
Even so, the feeling that "I want to keep enjoying note" is what supports me right now.
Writing is a time to organize my thoughts, and
the excitement that my words might reach someone is a huge driving force.
So for now, I'm going to embrace this "slightly greedy wish" completely.
1,000 followers might not be a number I reach right away.
But I feel that wishing for it, putting it into words, and releasing it into the sky has a lot of meaning for me right now.
(By the way, my follower count was 182 on February 1, 2025. It was 358 on July 5, 2025.)
And I believe that if I'm in the Writing Club, it will definitely come true.
Tanabata is that kind of day, isn't it?
A day when you can write down wishes you wouldn't normally say, just a little more honestly, just a little more seriously.
I hope these wishes reach their destination.
(Also, I hope I can learn to cut onions without crying.)
I participated in the stylish project by Kotoba-san from the Writing Club (family!)🎋
