Things I Realized After Writing 50 Articles

This article marks my 50th post.

Honestly, I am surprised myself.

When I started on note, I never thought I would keep it up this long.

There were days when I didn't know what to write.

There were also times when I wondered if anyone would actually read it.

Yet, before I knew it, I reached 50 articles.

Looking back, these 50 articles were not just a collection of text.

They were also a time for me to reflect on my own life.

I retired from my company at the age of 56.

When I left the company where I had worked for many years, I was full of anxiety.

What would happen from here on out?

What should I set as my goal in life?

There were so many things I didn't know.

It was in that state that I started note.

At first, I think I was writing more to organize my own feelings than to have someone else read it.

In my articles so far, I have written about various thoughts:

Learning things over again.

My family.

Life after retirement.

Things I have thought about life.

I have written about various sentiments.

There is something I realized while writing.

That is, people can move forward by putting things into words.

When you think only in your head, anxiety grows larger and larger.

However, when you put it into writing, you can see what you are thinking, what you are struggling with, and what you value.

And there is one more thing I realized.

That is that there is no wasted experience in life.

There were painful times.

There were frustrating times.

There are events I would rather not have experienced if I could have helped it.

Even so, when I write now, those experiences have become my words.

If my life had been nothing but smooth sailing, the person I am today might not exist.

What I think after writing 50 articles is that you can start your life anew at any age.

I am currently studying to be an administrative scrivener.

I am also learning about AI.

I am living a life completely different from the one I imagined for my 56-year-old self when I was young.

But that is not bad either.

In fact, I feel like I have more time to face myself now.

To everyone who has read my articles up to this point, thank you very much.

To those who pressed the 'like' button.

To those who followed me.

To those who read my articles.

Thanks to all of you, I was able to continue up to 50 articles.

I still haven't found the answer to life.

I think I will still have moments of confusion in the future.

Even so, I intend to move forward one step at a time.

And from the 51st article onwards, I want to continue writing about what I feel and learn in my own way.

I look forward to your continued support.
