I’m Back on Medium, Guys!
Not for Money This Time — But for the Love of Writing, Readers, and the Real Me ❤
Hey there, lovely people!
It feels so good to type these words again — I’m back on Medium!
Yeah, I know. It’s been a while. A long while, actually. Some of you might’ve wondered where I disappeared to (or maybe you didn’t, but let’s pretend you did so I can feel special 😅). Either way, this feels like a little homecoming moment for me.
But Seriously! I didn’t plan to leave. It just happened.
There was a point when writing on Medium felt like the most natural thing in the world. I’d wake up with ideas buzzing in my head, pour them out into words, hit “publish,” and then spend the next few hours reading other people’s stories.
It was fun, inspiring, and — I’ll say it is addictive in the best way.
But then came that phase. The one where the motivation slowly fades.
I stopped writing not because I ran out of things to say, but because I wasn’t earning much.
The payment side of Medium can really mess with your mindset sometimes, especially when you see others making hundreds or even thousands, and you’re there wondering if your words are even worth a dollar.
