[Five months later] Looking back at the online shopping site Shinatomy
This article looks back on the fifth month of Shinatomy.
We also have information about a certain event, so please take a look.
1. What I think now
I've made a little more progress than last month!!!
In fact, I reported on Twitter and Instagram about the implementation of face-to-face sales and gift wrapping . I think I have grown a lot since last month!
As for gift wrapping, I had always thought that I would do it someday, so that was fine, but it took a lot of courage for Shinatomy, which was originally run as an online store, to decide to sell in person.
This is because I don't have many good memories of interpersonal relationships, and I am more concerned than most people about meeting people for the first time or what others think of me, which wears me out mentally. For this reason, I wanted to do a job where I could do it myself and where I would meet as few people as possible, which led me to start an online shopping site.
So I was always hesitant to sell the items I selected and created face-to-face, rather than through a screen. However, I received requests from people who have been following me since the online store first opened to sell in person, and I decided to take on the challenge of opening a store in order to make this shop, Shinatomy, which is still not well known, known to as many people as possible.
Details of Shinatomy's first face-to-face sales are listed below, so if you're in the area, be sure to come along!
Whether you come to see Shinatomy's products, to see other creators, or just to see the face of the store owner, Shichibee, it doesn't matter what your reason is, so if you're able to meet me, I hope you'll come and see me 🦋

3. Gift wrapping
And from October we will be offering a gift wrapping service .
I've always wanted to offer a gift wrapping service, so I'm glad I was able to announce it safely.
Currently, the bags are black paper bags decorated with an original ribbon and sealing stamp, but this may change in the future.
This wrapping service is available for a fee. It can be used as a gift for someone, or as a reward for yourself for all your hard work.
Why not add a new essence to your daily life?
4. About me
I feel like this month has been a very busy one.
This is because I was at the mercy of the weather, my health fluctuated greatly, and I was often in places other than my home, so I didn't have many days that I could relax and unwind.
I was reminded of how comfortable my home is, and how my current daily life could collapse at any time and in any way. You can't beat nature.
In the future, I would like to leave my parents' house and live somewhere flat with a low risk of natural disasters and no sea or rivers nearby.
On the other hand, if I had to mention one good thing, it would be that I now have a better idea of ​​what goals I want to have in life going forward.
I can do my usual work anywhere as long as I have a computer, but I feel like I can't do anything if my computer is taken away. I want to hone the skills that I can only have because of who I am.
That's why I started studying English, but I haven't been able to study it very actively this month. I'm sad. So I'm going to take the TOEIC. (I was actually planning to take the exam in December, but the exam wasn't being held in the area I was in, so I gave up.)
I'm the type of person who can't work hard without a deadline, so I set goals for myself.
I don't know what the future holds for me, but I want to continue living my life, swaying back and forth between the interests I have now.
Also, this is completely unrelated, but at one of my concerts, one of my favorite artists sang a song I requested. This was the first time in my life that something like that had happened.
The song I requested is one I discovered in high school, and even though I love it, it's one of the songs that I couldn't really listen to because it always reminded me of the most difficult days of my life. But having someone I love sing it has made it into a song I genuinely love.
It's not easy to wipe away bitter memories with happy ones, and even if you can blur them, it's really difficult to erase them. After four years of accumulation, I've finally made it this far.
Above all, being able to listen to your favorite songs with just the emotion of loving them is such a happy thing.
Music has often saved my life, but I've never been saved in this way, so it still feels like a dream. I thought, in my own immature way, that I would be happy if one day I could be someone's salvation.
5. Conclusion
Thank you for reading this far.
This month has seen Shinatomy take a new step forward, and we are filled with the determination to keep working hard.
Constantly thinking about the future can be exhausting as I can't keep up with the emotional ups and downs, but I believe it's a tunnel I can get out of, so I will live each day without trying too hard.
Also, if you have any questions or requests regarding Shinatomy, we would appreciate it if you could let us know on Instagram or Twitter.
We hope you will continue to support Shinatomy.
