It was actually me who was encouraged.

The bouquet was larger than I expected,
and brightly colored.

I am clumsy in both my work and private life,
and my emotions fluctuate wildly,
so I often feel down when things don't go well.

I received a message from my writing club member,Aya-san.

A surprised sound escaped my lips for a moment.
A warm feeling gradually spread through my chest.

Because I was the one who admired my senior and joined the writing school called Monocan.

Yuzu Suyama-san, I admired you, and around this time last year,
I decided to enroll,
even though I had never heard of Kindle publishing.

And now, a year later, there is someone who watched me, read my writing,
and took action.

I'm glad I wrote.
I'm glad I kept writing.

I'm glad I published on Kindle.

It felt as if everything I had done
was being held tightly.
It was a heartwarming event
where I was able to provide a spark through writing.

It was actually me who was encouraged.
Thank you.

Let's give shape to the words
we want to reach someone's heart with. Someone might
pick them up.

Because if you don't sow the seeds, the flowers won't bloom.

Thank you for joining me again today.

From the Writing Club prompt: "Please make me feel warm and fuzzy."
