It’s 3 Days Left! I Still need 55 New Followers to Subscribe as Medium Membership
Experiment: So, is it possible to get 100 Followers in 30 Days?
It was May 27th when I started to open my Medium after 2 years! Thank God, Medium doesn’t have a deactivated policy for old and inactive accounts. I hate that I was late to realize how probably I shouldn’t just write to myself as I used to consider Medium a wall-to-talk. A place to dump my naked emotions as it is probably unacceptable to my real world.
But, here’s a thing. I am human. Oh, I like creating a running race to win a competition against my insecurity—a feeling created by past trauma that kept telling me to stop believing in life. I’m not the only one who has insecurities, everyone who walks on amount of optimistic path could be ended up falling into this dark hole. But then the crumbles of compassion, perhaps in critical conditions, told me that I shouldn’t wait for an illuminator. So, I choose compassion as my Lumos Maxima mantra to help me see back to alive.
This time I want to write not as what I want but add a wider aspect of how I must be a writer. The writer description I choose is a person who writes books, stories, or articles as a career path. To use the word career path meaning I need to level up my writing hour, to learn more about the art of writing. Plus a writer that accepts and implements the art of making commercials from the work.
I hope you won’t see my explanation as a drunk-positive type of person. But, this is a move to let behind my pessimistic habit as it makes me the worst version of myself. To finally say fuck to trauma.
Well, it’s impossible to just forget as they never exist in my life. But, how about making a separate room? While I could probably come back to get my other stuff, other than that I will not be sleeping in “that” room.
From this premise reflection, I’m going to start my writing journey in Medium. Why? Well, a short answer for that. First, I don’t need to think about how to make a website to publish my writing. And ugh, it saves me time. Second, you can put your central gravity towards your writing, what to write this morning or tonight, a story to write tomorrow, and so on. Third, for someone who still cannot share my story with people-I-know in big ‘social media’ like Instagram and WhatsApp, Medium offers you a community inside the platform. It felt great because who doesn’t want to get recognized? My writing might be not for everyone, and perhaps I need time to reach my goal. It’s a long walk. But, you shouldn’t do this alone.
I’m grateful to everyone that has accepted my following request as I need a total of 100 followers to be able to start my membership. From now, that’s my goal.
If you happened to pursue the same goal as my story, you can follow me and I will follow you back. But, our relationship must continue because I need to know what your thought about the article — questions, advice, and critics. And perhaps a bit of clap? For sure I will try to produce good content for you to read and perhaps we could meet someday to discuss our writing journey. Hehe
