Letters For Me : Sorry For Not Being Honest
Everyone could feel sorry for anybody. But most of everyone forgets, what need to forgive the most. Ourselves. It’s beyond everything we know, but forgiving ourselves is a mechanism to live with it, to live together in each day of our daily life. This letter was for me, someone who failed the writing every day till the end of 2024 👋 — But, I still bought Garmin.

Dear me,
I want to talk about us; it’s everything beyond ourselves. I know you don’t like me to buy something if I achieve nothing. But this thing is what you want most, for about six months.
So, you are setting a challenge for yourself to write one article per day until the end of 2024, on January 15, 2024.
I didn’t hesitate about this challenge, but after five months of going around, it became so much harder. Adding to this time was the season for hiking, So I did not give up on this challenge, even though there were AI who could give me ideas.
I still feel guilty for writing because of Target. The results are very pushy and inauthentic. It feels like everything is just for Target. I hate that, so I decided to cut it down. From now on, I will write because I want to write that, without any coercion from inside or outside me.
Okay, why I feel sorry to you?
Because in that article, I wanted to buy Garmin Forerunner 265s as a reward for finishing that. But I bought it even though I fell short of that target.
Did you know one fact?
As a commitment, apart from the reward, I also made a punishment. The punishment was so brave. I will send $5 to everyone who likes the post and follows me.
But to this day, no one like that article; it feels relieving to know I still save my money. Thanks everyone for not supporting me🤣
Lesson Learned
Well, I learned so many things about this challenge. This article was meant to be displayed on December 31, but I will display it right now since I already failed.
It’s some part of it.
Well, you will still see it at the end of this year. But yeah, that was a beautiful failure, and maybe no one wanted to get it.
I failed to write a daily article, but I also still bought the Garmin I had dreamed of. Thanks to everyone following my journey. It was beautiful to write each day despite my busyness.
I was so proud of you, myself.
