Finally Learning That I Write Something of Value
There will be people out there who resonate with your life experiences, your perspectives and your words.
As I write this I’ve published 50 articles so far on Medium.
Nowhere near what some of the more prolific writers who’ve been on Medium for so much longer have written but, when I think back to the end of March when I decided to start writing on Medium and how utterly terrified I was, I’m incredibly proud of myself.
It’s hard now for me to imagine just how incredibly scared I was at the beginning of my Medium journey. I was genuinely in leg shaking, stomach flipping territory.
I felt people would tell me I had no right to be on this platform, that I was a fraud, that I wasn’t good enough or that my opinions or thoughts weren’t valid enough. Funnily enough, as I’m about to start my next writing project, my Substack, I’m having those exact same feelings.
