I Cancelled My Membership! Here’s Why….

But fear not, I have renewed. There’s a reason which I shall explain. Please bear with me as my logic gets explained.

It’s an onerous explanation. Hey, maybe consider onerous as your word for the day.

Onerous

def. (Oxford), phonetic: “on·er·ous” — /ˈōnərəs,ˈänərəs/
adjective: “(of a task, duty, or responsibility) involving an amount of effort and difficulty that is oppressively burdensome.

My reasons:

1. Cancellation doesn’t align with the typical stories: “So long, goodbye; I’ve had it. That’s it for me. This isn’t just working out for me. Not what I was promised.”
   No, there’s more to the story.
2. In fact, it’s not due to oppressive work demands here preventing me from daily job seeking efforts — full-time, contract or freelance.
3. It’s not even due to recent events that burdened me with two weeks full-time efforts elsewhere resulting in time off Medium in which I couldn’t fulfill my editorial publication duties plus reading and my own writing.
   …
   NOTE: One week was devoted to moving out — now maybe unnecessary it may seem — plus another week bedridden and sleeping near 18 hours a day almost overdosing on muscle relaxants…
