Beautiful. I joined Medium only two days ago as a premium member, with the goal of making my writing habit more lucrative.
And already, I can say that it was a great decision. To be a part of a community where everyone likes to read and write, is truly something else.
This post is very relevant for me because I also had lost myself in the world of superficial interactions and comments, and even though I am no internet celebrity or influencer, that pulled me. And I now realise that I must overcome that pull and become something more than an influencer.
I like, you said, want to become a part of a network. One where like minded people come together and express themselves.
This is a great article, and I am looking forward to my journey on Medium.
