When Failure Strikes : I have a love-hate relationship with my Medium account.
I’ll be honest : I have a love-hate relationship with my Medium account. On one hand , it’s a great platform for sharing my stories and connecting with readers . On the Other hand , it can be a constant reminder of my successes and failures as a Writer.
The curse of failure has always haunted me . It’s something that I’ve struggled with throughout my Life , and it’s something That has only intensified since I started writing on Medium .
Every day , I open my Medium account at least twice a day , once in the morning and once in the Evening. And every time I do , I’m greeted With a flood of notifications . Typically , I’ll see at least 60 or80 new followers, claps on my articles, and responses to my Writing.
But today, something unusual happened . I opened my Medium account and there were zero Notifications . Nothing. Zilch. Nada . My heart sank. I felt like a failure . I couldn’t help but think that maybe my Writing wasn’t good enough or that my readers had lost interest .
I was in shock . I felt like a complete failure . My Eyes Filled With Tears , and I came close to giving up. But then something inside me clicked . I realized that this was just another challenge to overcome , another opportunity to grow.
