Let me tell you a secret: I almost give up in this platform.

Glad I never continue that plan because if I did, I will surely miss a lot of fun and that's for sure.

6 months old in this platform and I can't help but feel so grateful and blessed.

Looking back, it was the last week of November 2021 when I decided to enter the magical world of Read. I never thought that I would love this platform so much as the first time I embarked around here, I was quite intimidated knowing that I was still an entrant. I have read a lot of articles already and I tried to reflect if I can do what others can. It seems like no one will be able to notice me around here because I'm no good. I feel inferior given the thought that I can't seem to blend with each one.

For instance, when I tried to write an article, I can only come up with around 2 minutes read. It was still so hard for me to even make a 3-minute read article, how much more 4-5 one. Howbeit, I still tried and I was so happy when I come up with a 5-minute article on my very first article around here and it was entitled, "I am Contagious". It was a big achievement on my part after I wrote that one.

I could still recall when my beloved green bot visited my article and gave me Bitcoin Cash (BCH). I was astounded that it did exist in the platform and rewarding writers if it loves it. With that, I was truly get motivated to write further.

However, my journey was not full of rainbows and butterflies especially when I was like 3 weeks old in the platform, the green bot's shadows was unseen in my recent articles. I was so down that time. I was overthinking have I done why it never visited me again.

With that, I embraced weeks of hiatus around the platform and even decided to finally quit because I feel hopeless.

Around 3 weeks of being away, I just focused my journey around noise.cash. But then, throughout those weeks, the Read platform was still stained in my mind. I could feel how I missed it. Eventhough I still struggle writing articles, I decided to go back with courage and tried once again. To my surprised, the green bot showed up and that's when I realized that it's still there for me and never left. Perhaps, it just made me realized something and that's the fact that I need interact.

Going back, I lack interaction around the platform because I was still shy. But then, the green bot wanted me to embrace the importance of interaction and that's why it left me. As of the moment, I realized how importance interaction is and I'm glad that I did since as of the moment, I have met a number of wonderful people who I am blessed to be part of my journey.

Sponsors

I will never forget the 1st three sponsors that I had in this platform. They are the ones who were one of the reasons why I continued despite the feeling of giving up in my heart. I don't want to fail them in someway because they were there, supporting me in the journey that I have started.

First Sponsor

My very first sponsor around here is my dear friend @Bloghound . I never thought that she will sponsor me because I was just an ordinary girl roaming around the platform. Just so you know, after her sponsorship, I got so motivated to continue here because there's this someone who believed in me.

To my friend Bloghound, back then when I was still an entrant, you truly inspired me to continue. You don't know how much mark you leave in my heart. With that, I'm truly grateful for you for everything. You're such an inspiration to me verily. The thought that someone believed in me bloomed something in my heart and with that, I'm still here alive and kicking.

Second Sponsor

The second sponsor that I gained around the platform is my friend @Ling01 . It was truly unexpected that she will sponsor me because I don't usually interact back then.

My friend Ling, you're also one of the reasons of my stay, with that, I appreciate your kindness to me back then. I may not be able to roam around your articles these days especially that a lot of things are happening with my life right now, but know that I truly appreciate you and I'm grateful to know you around here.

Third Sponsor

Then here comes my third sponsor @renren16 . I will never forget her as well. I never thought that she will sponsor me here. I'm so grateful to her so much as well.

To my friend renren, just so you know I had a great time talking to you a lot. My apologies lately if I can't roam that much due to some reasons and one of which is my hectic schedule. But be back to my activeness real soon. Not to mention, I'm beyond grateful for you believing on me. So grateful for your existence.

You see, I will never forget the first three people who were there with me when I first started. Their existence have given so much mark in my heart. Grateful to you all my friends.

Recent Sponsors

To my sponsors today, I am beyond grateful to all of you for your continuous support towards me. Knowing that you're their for me, I am more motivated to stay around here. Your presence means so much to me.

To my other friends supporting me around here, you're all appreciated. Your presence means to me so much. I will never be where I am now, it's not because of you.

Just so you know, I never thought that I will be able to stay this long around here. When I started I never thought I could make it, but here I am still doing my best to wrote articles and share my experiences around here.

Cheers to 6 months!

Looking forward to more fruitful months to come.
