It’s my Medium anniversary!!

I realized this month that I have been here on Medium for a year now. Holy poop!! It seems like just yesterday I joined this platform. What a year it has been. I never thought I could learn so much not only about myself, but about other people.

To be honest, when I first joined I didn’t really know what to expect. I figured I’d come here to make some extra monthly income. Isn’t that why most of the writers are here?

Apparently not. Who knew? 🤷‍♀️

I started out slowly, feeling my way around, trying to figure out exactly how Medium works and what they really want from me. To be honest, to this day, I still have no clue how Medium works nor does anyone else.

It’s like the Cadbury Secret.
