#001｜The Day I Decided to Blog Again—with ChatGPT by My Side

I’ve Tried and Failed So Many Times

I’ve tried blogging many times in the past.
I created free blogs, used automated tools to generate massive amounts of content, and even made a little money—about 60,000 yen a month at one point.

But those articles had no soul.
They were just random information mashed together. There was nothing to build on.

Back then, I believed success came from quantity, not quality.
But as time went on, search engines started valuing substance. It became harder to earn money.

“Even If I Try Again, I’ll Just Quit Again…”

I was disappointed in myself for always giving up.
Coming up with ideas from scratch has always been hard for me.

After long days at work, I didn’t have the energy to think of article topics or structures.
I ran out of ideas. The pressure to make money, the loneliness—it all wore me down.

Still, the desire for freedom never went away.
I’ve always wanted to earn at my own pace, on my own terms.

Then Came ChatGPT

One day, I tried using ChatGPT—and I was amazed.

“What happened today?”
“That story could be a blog post.”
That kind of conversation helped me shape ideas into articles.

“I can answer questions even if I can’t start from scratch.”
“I don’t have to do this alone.”
That realization lifted a huge weight off my shoulders.

It felt like I had a partner who would help me write.
That gave me the courage to say: “Let’s try again.”

How I Feel About This Second Chance

The world is different now compared to ten years ago.
The tools, the environment—it’s all changed.

I don’t have to blame myself anymore.
With ChatGPT, I can think and grow step by step.

This blog is my record of restarting my life in pursuit of freedom.
And I hope that someone reading this will walk alongside me.
