In English (Summary & Reflection)
I just wanted to start something.
Now that I'm in my 50s, with parenting mostly behind me and work somewhat stable, I began wondering: "Is this really how I want to end things?"
One day, I stumbled upon a video from Ryogakucho’s Liberal Arts University on YouTube. His words stuck with me:
"It’s never too late to begin. Starting small can change your life."
That pushed me toward starting a blog.
It wasn’t easy. I hesitated. I opened the ConoHa WING signup page several times and closed it without clicking. I kept thinking, “Is this really worth it?” But eventually, I clicked. Just three months, I told myself. That was enough to begin.
I don’t want tons of money. Sure, life costs money, and if a side hustle pays off, great. But that’s not the point.
What I don’t want is a life where I do nothing and money just shows up. It feels like a luxurious kind of prison. So even if this fails, if something in my heart shifts, if I leave behind a trace of myself—then it’s worth it.
These days, thinking “What should I write today?” has become a small spice in my life.
Maybe nobody reads it. Still, I keep checking the stats. Maybe, just maybe, someone out there will read my words.
So today too—
I write one more blog post.
It may go unread. It may not reach anyone. But writing reminds me that I’m alive.
And that’s reason enough to keep going.
