Were you around on Medium during the heady days in January-March of 2024?

At that time, I felt like I was an unstoppable force, producing content, gaining followers, and obsessing over every statistic I could get my hands on about my performance.

Then life happened….

You know how it goes. We all think that we can be the same version of ourselves that we are today forever without missing a beat.

But that’s just not how it goes.

I fell off the Medium-writing wagon, and it has taken me a long time to dust myself off and get back up.

That said, I hit a milestone day yesterday that has given me a renewed sense of promise and optimism about what I can do here on Medium.

What was that milestone?

I turned 33 years old!

It was time to start anew on many various ideas and projects that have been ping-ponging around in my mind.

One of those is certainly my work here on Medium.

Where Do I Want to See Things Go?
