My Update After Gaining 300+ Followers
After one and a half months on Medium!
After one and a half months on Medium, I’ve finally gained 300 followers!
WOW! 0_0
I never expected to experience this much growth.
Thank you again, my dear readers, for believing in me.
Now, on to the update…

As you can tell from the screenshot, the highest number of new followers occurred in October.
This is because I published more stories and engaged with Medium more in that timeframe.
I had originally tried a challenge to write every day for one month.
Sadly, midterm season squashed this. (ᵕ̣̣̣̣̣̣﹏ᵕ̣̣̣̣̣̣)
Attempting to write even more after crafting a 16 paged essay on New Zealand’s tourism industry was a strong no-go.
On the other hand, I recall having a single email subscriber in October.
However, it looks like that person backed out before the end of the month.
And that’s okay. I’m okay.
You see, my goal isn’t to chase the followers, subscribers, and the clout.
In many things in life, there will always be someone to disagree or oppose.
Diversity of opinions is natural.
Hence, to my anonymous former email subscriber:
Although, it’s unfortunate you no longer find value in my writing. I appreciate the initial interest and hope you find what you’re looking for on Medium.
