Giving Up On Medium Is In My Best Interest
When there is no reward for the work then the motivation starts to flee.
Last week I almost gave up writing on Medium and how can I not? With consistency I build a few readers in two months and then suddenly none to my next blog.
I do want to write blogs on Medium but the truth is I am not sure if it’s gonna be worth it.
For a writer the most important aspect is the reader and if that is missing then what’s the point?
Last week when the dilemma and confusion hit me. When I felt that maybe it is not for me. Or maybe I am not a good enough writer to start from scratch independently and grow.
Maybe those doubts about myself are true or maybe they are not. The point is they started to surface and mock me in the face.
If one thing that drives my motivation and that keeps being missing then giving up seems best.
But the idea of giving up just after two months seems horrifying.
I decided to go through some of my own writing and I felt I had poured my heart out for the world to see and I felt proud of myself.
Each word written on the screen was telling the pain of my heart, telling my journey.
That moment I realized maybe I should give up because it is not working but if I keep going on it will be much more rewarding.
So, I picked my pen again, filled some ink and started the journey all over again.
