It’s Time To Wise Up Because My Love For Writing Is Under Attack
When I was first introduced to Medium, it was at a time in my life when I really needed an outlet to massage my skills as a writer. It was late summer of 2013; exactly a year ago today, and I was about to quit my corporate job when I was summoned by my managers and HR, who informed that I was being let go.
I already knew it was coming.
The job had evolved into a nightmare for reasons that weren’t regulated just to my inability to perform my duties. I had been warned by my predecessor that if I accepted the role, I would be walking into hostile territory, but my naivety served me wrong. I was convinced that I could overcome any obstacles in my way.
I was dead wrong.
But my bad fortunate turned out to be a blessing because I used my lack of employment as the perfect excuse to finally focus on my writing — full time.
As luck would have it a new friend introduced me to her friend, and she ended up playing a vital part in my development. She was managing a collection on a relatively new platform that was “invitation only,” and so she extended an invite — and just like that my life changed forever.
