Immersed in an ocean of words, pen in hand and thoughts racing through my mind, I begin my journey as a writer on Medium. 😊 This is the place where my thoughts, ideas and experiences are transformed into words, creating stories that have the power to touch the hearts and minds of readers. 📚✨

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a writer on Medium? 😅 Well, let me describe it to you.

When I look at my wallet, I'm like 😱,
Because money disappears faster than a 🐆.
Should I save like a 🐿️,
Or spend as if tomorrow was going to be a 🌪️?

On your first day you are full of enthusiasm. 😃 You think to yourself: “Yes, that’s it! I became a writer! 📝 I will write about everything that comes to my mind! 🧠.”

Then you start writing your first article. 😬 You start with one sentence, then another, and then… nothing. 😐 Your creativity suddenly disappears. 😵

I buy new shoes, I'm like 😎,
But then I look at the bills and I'm like 🤯.
Should I be like a 🦝, collecting every penny,
Or live like a 🦚, disregarding the cost?

But you don’t give up! 💪 Finally, after a few hours, you have your first article. 🎉 It’s the greatest feeling in the world! 😍
