I've made it this far just by keeping at it. Surpassed 900 note followers

Thank you for 900 note followers.

Before I knew it, my note followers had exceeded 900 people.

Honestly, rather than thinking "Yes!", the first thing that came to mind was "Wait, really?"

At first, I wondered:
Who would read this?
Is this kind of writing okay?
Will I even be able to keep this up?

Carrying those anxieties, I still wrote, published, and wrote again... repeating the process.

I haven't written exceptionally brilliant prose, nor have I gone viral every time.

Even so, there are people who read, people who follow, and every time I receive words like "That touched me" or "That saved me,"

I felt,
ah, it really is reaching people.

note isn't flashy, and it's not a place where you get immediate results.

But because of that, I feel it is a place where people truly stay.

The number of followers is just a figure, but behind each one, there is someone's time and feelings.

That is why the number 900 is truly significant and something I am grateful for.

I was able to come this far
thanks to you who read my work.
Thanks to you who followed me.

Thank you.

1,000 followers might be more of a "milestone" than a "goal."

When I reach 1,000, I want to properly express my gratitude to those who have read my work until now.

But no matter how far I go, just as I have until now,
I will continue to write
in my own words,
at my own pace.

I look forward to your continued support.
