The feeling of being recognized for your efforts is truly quite interesting. 😄 I originally thought that hitting the 3,000 follower increase target this month would be impossible, but unexpectedly, I completed it a day early. Since mid-December, I've been committed to posting daily, and this rhythm has brought not only fluctuations in follower count but also that constant sense of "affirmation" from Lao Ma's posts that keep doubling. Whether it's followers or Lao Ma's guaranteed income, these are just numbers. More than the numbers, what comforts me is the thrill of "receiving recognition for my random thoughts and essays." In my daily life in New York, fragmenting my observations of the world into words and discovering that someone far away is resonating—this moment of validation is a more rewarding reward than Lao Ma's doubled guaranteed income. @E5@ Money, whether more or less, is secondary. Being recognized for my work, gradually exploring and building my personal brand, is truly quite interesting.
