You know you’re addicted to Medium when . . .

Other times, we just snuggle.”

You know you’re addicted to Medium when . . .
😀 You make the perfect cup of coffee to drink while you’re writing but later you find it — dead and cold — when you come back from your Medium trance.
😀 You’re listening to meditation music on YouTube with headphones. The hour-long track is over and it defaults to the next video (music you dislike) but you don’t notice for at least 10 minutes.
😀 You think about the writers you love on Medium more than you think about your worst problem in life.
😀 You’re writing a post for Medium when you’re struck with a passionate new idea. You open a new tab and hack away at two stories at once.
😀 You live in Arizona, it’s 103° in the shade, you can see the pool from your desk . . . but you’re inside working on a Medium post instead of swimming.
What time are you reading this?
This confession was inspired by my Medium friend Neil Kampas. He left this comment on one of my posts:
Look at me, 2:16 a.m. In bed addicted to doing something positive for myself. Just got my baby changed and fed and back to sleep. May even go grab a late night snack myself and keep reading! I will sleep enough when I’m dead.
