I just hit 1,000 followers on Medium!

I can hardly believe it myself.

A thousand people have chosen to follow and, hopefully, read my stories.

I’m happy to know that someone finds value in what I write.

Reflecting on the Journey

I didn't have a grand plan when I started writing on Medium 3 months ago.

I’d been reading stories on Medium for a long time but never took the time to write anything.

If you ask what held me back from starting, I’d say Fear — fear that no one will read my writing.

Or maybe just plain old procrastination.

But then I came across this tweet on Twitter back in February, which kind of hit me:

It wasn't until April that I mustered enough to get started and see what happens.

Fast forward to now, less than 90 days into my Medium journey, I hit 1k followers.

The journey to 1k has been anything but straightforward.
