My "firsts" are gradually increasing
Until a little while ago, I was
"I have to produce some results"
that was all I could think about.
Follower count.
Number of likes.
View count.
I always thought "it's not enough yet," and
I just felt impatient💦
But, I realized something recently.
Starting from a small step,
what I have built up
was not just numbers.

The day I first
joined a "membership."
I didn't have
a single article yet, but😅
I started looking forward to
opening note♪
Because I was reading the articles
updated every day📗
And then,
The day I wrote
my first article.
"I wonder if people will read it..."
I was filled with that kind of anxiety💦
The day I got my first "like."
I remember being so happy that I kept checking the screen over and over🤭
The day I first
got a "follow."
The day I first
got a "comment."
The day I first
joined a "collaborative magazine."
And the other day,
believe it or not,
I was able to receive
my first
"congratulations board"😳

thank you so much💕
▼Here is the article that received the congratulations♪
One by one,
those moments might be small events.
But looking back now,
I think they were all "seeds of the future."

Actually,
something happy happened recently♪
After reading an article by Azunaburu,
who is in the same membership
I tried practicing the method introduced in the article
a little bit in my spare time.
As a result, my followers increased by 75
in these 6 days.
What made me even happier was
that I made more connections with people who know
"Miraidane"🤭
Azunaburu introduced it
in their article♪
And I felt it once again.
When you take a step forward,
it leads to the next "first."

Four months ago,
even after learning from note side-hustle materials,
I still couldn't stand at the starting line💦
Three months ago, I finally
created an icon.
Two months ago, I created a profile,
and although I took the plunge and joined a membership,
I was just a reader😅
It took time to start posting.
Perhaps the SNS fatigue I experienced
from posting on Instagram
had become a trauma.
Even so,
if I don't gather the courage
to take that first step,
I won't be able to see a different view.
And,
since I published my first article
it has been 1 month.
An account with no articles at all
But it's different now.
Every time I write an article,
my "firsts" have gradually increased.
Each one is a small event.
But each one
gave me the courage to take the "next step."
Before I knew it,
within me,
many "firsts" have piled up.
That is not
a huge success.
But each one has pushed me forward.
And one more thing❣️
Above all,
what is encouraging me now
is the interaction with everyone in the "Tarawo Girls" membership✨
Starting with Hito-Tarawo-san,
there are many diverse and charming creators here.
Here,
"Let's do our best together"
such a warm atmosphere
is flowing, isn't it🫧
While being well-stimulated
by everyone's challenges,
I intend to move forward one step at a time,
in my own way👣
And,
last night, I newly joined a membership
😊
It is the membership of KOTAYA-san,
whom I met as a member of Tarawo Girls♪
Attracted by the luxurious benefits... no, no😅
That's part of it, but
I've thought KOTAYA-san was amazing for a while,
so I decided to join🥰
KOTAYA-san is such an amazing person✨ Thank you for the connection💕
KOTAYA-san, thank you for the wonderful GIF animation♡

One more
"first" has been added♡

If there is anyone out there right now who is wondering,
"Can I do it too?"
"I can't quite find the courage"
"I can't take that first step"
I want to tell you this.
It doesn't have to be a big result from the start😊
First, just
your first "first"
That alone is enough.
When one "first" increases, then
the next "first" will increase as well.
And by the time you realize it,
a view you never imagined might be waiting for you.
• ───── ✾ ───── •
Today's step is an asset for the future✨
I will continue to
increase my "firsts" one by one,
and nurture the seeds of the future🌱
And,
may your step today also
be a step that connects to the future✨
Seeds of the Future🌱
Thank you for reading until the end✨
I would be happy if you read this too☺️
