The reason I kept going wasn't talent 🐕

Good morning, this is Chibiayu. 🐕

(Regarding my activities on note (posting frequency, etc.),
I basically prioritize my own feelings,
and while my pace changes depending on the time and situation, I hope you will continue to support me in the future 🐕🙏
Thank you as always!!)

No matter how much you love your job or hobby,
I think there are moments when you think, 'Should I quit?' 🏃‍♂️‍➡️🏃‍♂️‍➡️

I've had that happen a few times in the past too. 🐕💭
(I definitely don't think that right now.)

For example, even when you are working seriously,
there are times when you think, 'Maybe this isn't for me...'
Taking people's words literally and feeling discouraged,
or thinking it would be easier to quit than to keep going and get hurt...

But at those times,
I thought about the reason I was able to think, 'Let me try just a little longer' 🐕💭



That is...
Because there was someone who acknowledged me, even just a little bit.

I feel like I've gotten back up many times with the feeling of wanting to respond to that person's feelings,
or not wanting to lose to myself.

Honestly, it's difficult not to care at all about what people around you say (especially negative things).

But there is always someone who believes in you. That's why I've decided to think only about those people. (I want to cherish them forever 卍)

Over the past few days, both on note and in the real world,
I've been savoring the warmth of people, and I've been thinking about that even more.
It's a feeling that what I want to cherish has become clearer.

And no matter what people around me say,
'If it's something I really want to do, I'll try to stick with it just a little longer'

That's what I've decided.



A person's serious attitude is conveyed,
and I believe there are times when you can't work hard just for yourself,
but you can work hard for the sake of someone precious right in front of you.
(I believe everyone has that heart)

On note as well,
I have been truly saved by the words of those who support me.
(There are many times when I write while struggling for a long time, but because I put my true feelings into it, the warmth I receive makes me happy and brings tears to my eyes)



That is precisely why I want to continue being a companion who enlivens note. 🐕 (Please treat me well, woof)

If you ever feel like no one acknowledges you, please come here anytime 🔥
It may be presumptuous, but I am affirming and supporting you. 卍



(It's not just empty words; there is humanity in the writing of each person, and there are always good points and things to respect. I want to affirm those things directly.)



I myself have been supported by many people in that way. 🐕



Thank you so much for reading today as well.

A side note 🐕
A little while ago, I became friends with a grandfather who is about 70 years old.


It started when he spoke to me while I was relaxing and listening to music in the shade of a tree on my way home from a walk, and he asked me to change the wallpaper on his feature phone 📱🌳


He told me he's always here, so I should show my face sometimes, and we became friends. 👶
(He's overprotective and cute, telling me to take the day off work tomorrow because he's worried about the typhoon. Lol. Does he think I'm his grandchild...? Lol)



I refused his offer of a reward, but when I looked away, he bought a canned coffee and we drank it together, and he showed me various photos.

His wife passed away many years ago, but when he showed me the photo and I said, 'She's a beautiful person,' he said...
'No, no... she was even more beautiful in person.'


That's the best... Grandpa.
(As proof of having lived, I want to be told that too 👴) Lol



It was a heartwarming episode that made me think again about wanting to affirm the people I cherish. 🖼️
(...There is a follow-up to this episode, and I will write about it again)
Thank you again for today.

((Honestly, I'm thinking of posting an article about my gratitude and feelings regarding comments sometime. 🐕))
