[End of Year Reflection 2025]
A difficult to look at 11 months.

Hello, I'm Fujimori.
I usually invite 5-10 people to my End of Year parties, so I wasn't sure how to throw one by myself, and attempted to talk to my family about it...

Family A "I don't get it."
Family B "Yeah, I don't really have the time..."

And so, here I am, arranging my favorite toys to create a party vibe. Let's start!


My Chili Pepper Weeks—it was love at first sight.

As I was facing my computer screen, with my toys to one side, Family C came and said "I can help if it's quick."

Family C:
So, how did you use your techo?
Fujimori:
I hardly used it at all this year.


It's practically brand-new. There's only a few notes in it.

Family C:
Hmm... And what are everyone else's like?
Fujimori:
Their techos are all amazing. Everyone's used them as diaries, or note taking, they write their feelings, thoughts, or log what they're reading. There's so much variety.

There's this one page where I tried out something someone else had done.



Family C:
Ah! I remember that pound cake, it was so good, right?! So that's where the wrapper went. Did you write anything? Maybe something like "Tasty!"?
Fujimori:
I wrote something, but I erased it.
Family C:
Why? Were you embarrassed?
Fujimori:
Maybe, or maybe I just didn't like my handwriting.
Family C:
What's so difficult about writing?
Fujimori:
When I try to write sentences, my vision gets blury and I struggle. I can't relax. Last year, I managed to write lots of notes and things though.
Family C:
I see.
Fujimori:
But y'know, the other day I bought some glasses and found out the real reason. It seems I'm just farsighted. I'm getting old.
Family C:
Hmm...
Fujimori:
Understanding that the reason I didn't write in my techo, was because it was difficult to see for the past 11 months, helped me to stop worrying about it.
I think I'll be able to try again next year.
Family C:
That's good.


I'll be fine next year as long as I have this.

Thanks to Family C, I managed to have my End of Year Reflection. And with my new lens prescription, I've even started writing in December!
Next is finding a prescription for my fickle personality (I get bored easily), but that's next years problem.

Thanks for reading, and please check back again tomorrow for another members End of Year Reflection
