I Wrote 20 Articles. 150 of You Stayed.
Thank you for reading me.
It has been seven months since I started writing here, and it still feels like I’ve only just begun.
Ten months ago,
I was reading ‘The Art of Being Alone’ by Renuka Gavrani, one of my favorite books. The author mentioned Medium once, and I thought, "Wait, what is that?" That one line led me here.

I still remember publishing my first article. I had a little hope and a little nervousness, so I did the only thing I could: I slept.
When I woke up, I had four claps from one random writer. That was all. But I was so happy. Those four claps told me someone out there had read my words and liked them.
And then, slowly more people started to appreciate my writing.
Some days here feel disappointing, and some days are full of excitement. But with every article and every response, I understood myself and my writing a little better.
Writing here is still the best decision I've made, and I'm proud of myself for it.
So to everyone who clapped, responded, or highlighted a line: thank you, wholeheartedly. Your love and support mean the world to me.
Every one of you made this journey brighter, whether you clap once, left a comment, or stayed from the Start🤍✨.
