My First Time Reaching 1K Anywhere Online

This is an uncharted path for me. I'm going to embrace it and step into the beautiful unknown.

How ironic that I'll be hitting 1K on a platform I recently decided to take a break from because of my return to music. I may have to rethink that. I adore Medium and the readers and writers I've met here.

There's nowhere like this place. It's a haven for great minds and creative souls. Medium is a canvas, and every writer is a painter. We contribute to an ever-changing masterpiece. I know some of you have 7 to 10 K followers, and God bless your consistency and diligence.

The social media climate has changed. I barely get followers now, and these apps seem filled with spam, scams, and bots. It's cool you become monetized at 100 followers on Medium when YouTube has 1,000 subscribers.

This is my last time writing about followers, but 1K is a significant milestone. It was a slow burn getting here. So, whoever is my 1 K follower, comment and introduce yourself. Destiny brought you here.

Many thanks in advance. Even if you're 1,001, 1,002, or 1,003, three, because you know how followers drop off, this is the last day of the year, so let's close it with 1K.

Thank you everyone who have…
