[Lislab] 50 Records: Finding Small Happiness in the Present Moment Through Sharing Passions



Hello, this is Lislab.

Every morning, I press my pen firmly onto my diary to organize my schedule, finish transcribing a quote that resonates with my heart, and then sit down to write. Doing this day by day, my blog has finally reached its 50th post.

As I approached this 50th milestone, I debated whether to plan a grand, special feature. However, staying true to myself felt like the right choice—keeping things clean and honest, just like my usual daily logs—so I decided to write a letter to connect with all of you.

Today, I would like to start by sharing a short quote that I personally handwrote this morning.



"People don't live in the present as much as you think.

Their bodies are in the current moment, but their minds are always somewhere else.

Life is shorter than we think.

You cannot relive the past, nor can you visit the future in advance.

Happiness isn't a special day that arrives out of nowhere someday.

Create the happiness of the past and the future right now, in this very moment."

The Happiness of Sharing My Passions with Someone Else



Over the past few days, my blog has received an incredibly explosive response. I was simply diving deep into the things I love and sharing the items I genuinely use in my daily life exactly as they are. Yet, to my surprise, so many people related to my words and responded with such warmth.





What has brought me the greatest joy, above all else, is the pure fun of connecting with people right here in the comment section.

For the past few years, I only used my time to manage daily tasks and schedules; I never left a record of my personal journey. Because of that, I always had a lingering regret in the back of my mind that I couldn't look back when I wanted to check on my past self.

So this year, I made a firm resolution to properly build a detailed logbook and an archive of the items I love, and to introduce them to the world. That is how I began cultivating this blog in earnest.

Moving beyond simple self-satisfaction, seeing my writing actually help others—while also appreciating and relating to their hobbies and tastes through our conversations—has become a source of genuine joy and happiness lately.







For those around my age, this might ring a bell. It feels exactly like the old days of MySpace, Tumblr, or the classic internet guestbooks from the early 2000s. Back in the era before Instagram or WhatsApp took over, there was a certain romance in leaving raw, cozy comments like, "Loved reading this, thanks for sharing!" or "Dropped by to say hello, hope you have a great day!" I want to keep building these genuine connections moving forward—not the mindless double-taps or soulless, generic comments, but real conversations where people truly resonate with and appreciate the core of the content.





Closing: May This Morning's Small Record Become Tomorrow's Greater Happiness

Driven by my love for fashion, my obsession with heritage denim, and my passion for all things analog, this blog has already filled its 50th page thanks to all of you.

Until I reach 100, 200, and many more pages in the future, I promise to never take shortcuts. I will continue to quietly and honestly share items and styling guides through my own unique lens and experience—delivering content that I am proud of and that will make you pause in admiration.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my regular readers who always trust, relate, and communicate with me, as well as to everyone who silently reads through my posts.

The weather is getting quite hot lately, so please take care of your health, and I sincerely hope you have a wonderful, happy day today :)



Thank you for reading this long journey.

Sincerely, Lislab
