Considering Becoming a Freelancer
I maintain a few websites on a regular basis. I likely have several hundred readers who visit them frequently. I write about various topics that I’m passionate about. I recently returned here on Medium, feeling unsure about what I would share to Medium readers. However, today I’m starting to see the glimmer of an idea. Let me explain.
I’ve been considering becoming a freelancer recently. After over three decades of receiving a steady salary from large organizations as a professional in information technologies, I started contemplating the idea of working different, independently. I’m considering this during a period of great economic and political uncertainty. However, I believe it could be worthwhile, as it may serve as a catalyst for personal growth. Additionally, I enjoy sharing my experience in general. This is where my return to Medium could prove valuable for me and you, the reader. Why, you might ask?
Writing about an experience is a way to better integrate the experience itself. For me, at least, writing means reflecting on things and putting them in the right order, giving the right meaning to each of my discoveries. I would consider this a form of therapy through public writing. Receiving feedback is the icing on the cake, and this is where you, the reader, come into play.
