Think something like:
- I make content. Not because I have to. But because that’s who I am. That’s what I do.
- This is related to Plans for 2026 resolution on developing identity.
- Regarding principle over logic, this is also related to strengthening my identity.
- Don’t do things because it’s logical. Do things because it’s part of your principles/values. Core Values of Nichiii
- Or to put it on another way, don’t do things when it’s against your values, even when it’s super tempting to do it.
- Some amendments to core values I would like to add:
- Never beg for help. Never beg for support. Earn money not because people pity you. Rather I want to make money because people want to buy my product.
- Reinforces my decision to never open a patreon/fanbox account.
- Factor for this as well is because it creates a power dynamic between me and my audience. Say a client helps me out, I’d end up feeling indebted, and it would end making me do things that I wouldn’t do otherwise.
- Never beg for help. Never beg for support. Earn money not because people pity you. Rather I want to make money because people want to buy my product.
