Howsitgoin doooods. Apologies for the lack of post yesterday, but I wasn't feeling too hot; my head felt a bit foggy and I felt a bit dizzy, so I went for a lie down around 9pm and fell asleep. Evidently I needed a rest. I was up reasonably bright and early this morning, though, so I've managed to get some stuff done — there's some more I want to achieve by the end of the day, but there's still plenty of time to do that.
I've been pleased with the response to a few things I've written recently — both my depression/anxiety piece and my final piece on The Expression: Amrilato that I posted on Friday have both been read by a lot of people and the latter in particular has been shared quite widely. That's always a really nice feeling, and it's especially nice when you see someone you interviewed sharing a piece you wrote and (I think, anyway, I'm going off Google Translate) saying that they found it interesting to see some non-Japanese perspectives on their work.
This sort of thing reminds me one of the many reasons why I keep doing this. My main reason has always been — and probably always will be — because I love doing it. But knowing that your writing has reached out and touched someone is a pretty nice feeling, too. This is why I like to try and keep the tone of the things I write as positive and inclusive as possible, because that leads to other people feeling good about the things I write as well as myself.
I'm not here to develop a reputation as a "harsh critic" or whatever; I honestly don't understand why anyone would desire that reputation for themselves. Rather, I'm here to have a good time with experiences I enjoy — and hopefully to share at least some of the joy I've experienced along the way with the people who read my work and watch my videos.
Thanks as always for bearing with me through difficult times.
