I’m Working Hard to Make Medium my Home Again
It’s been so long. I keep trying and failing, but this time I’ll succeed.
A few years ago I discovered Medium, and it was a game changer for me. I started out as just a reader and slowly found myself spending more time here than on social media scrolling endlessly through all of the bullshit.
Then I ended up subscribing, not to earn money, but to read all the articles locked behind the paywall. It was an addiction, but compared to the other electronic addictions so many of us have (especially me), it felt like a healthy one. It was so much more wholesome and and full of quality content. So much better than endless videos of wild Karens on the rampage. I became invested in clapping and making sure my $5 a month went to the writers I loved. I made sure to give as much love as I could, where I could.
I’ve never been good at commenting and sparking conversations in replies because I’m so introverted, so I tried to make up for this with claps.
Claps claps claps. I love your work and I sat around trying to make everyone know it.
Well, as you may have guessed, I eventually started writing on here myself, and soon I fell right down the rabbit hole. I was publishing 2–3 articles a week, sometimes more. I was writing my heart…
