One Year Here!

July 22, 2022

A few hours ago on the night of July 22, 2022, when I was about to check and read some articles on the platform, I noticed some minor changes under my username. I have been waiting for this. I know that sometime in July last year, I created an account here but I don't know the exact date. Alas! After days of waiting. Time has finally revealed things.

Today marks my first anniversary on the platform and I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to be here. Many times I would blab about how I'm thankful to my college friend, Marinov for introducing me to this platform. Since the day she shared the perks and fun she experienced here, I couldn't wait for a second to start my journey here.

Marking my first anniversary on this platform also means that my phone is already a year old. It can be recalled that I bought this so I can start my journey here. My old phone can't afford to cater for the needs of this app as it has limited storage and it is old that the LCD is already broken. With the help of my sister, I was able to buy this one a year ago.

There's a lot to be thankful for. I'm not discounting the fact that I have already gained back the money I spent to buy this phone let alone buy other stuff that made me and my family happy and comfortable. This platform is surely a blessing as it is my lifesaver every time I'm financially drained. To enumerate a few, my earnings here have helped me process my papers to be submitted back when I was a substitute teacher. It has helped me fund my medical examination. This platform has been my bread and butter since I was a substitute teacher wherein the salary isn't given yet until now even after half a year past my substitution. It has helped me fund my journey toward being a financial advisor. From taking IC Exams to my random trips to the online shopping apps. This platform has helped me go through life financially.

I would also like to extend my sincerest gratitude to the people who believe in me and to the people who continuously take a chance on me. I'm truly grateful for your generosity.

Not only had this platform helped me financially, but it has also helped me manage my emotions better and writing here has been a great stress reliever. It has always been a pleasure and honour for me to have my articles read by different writers from different countries. Nonetheless, it's always amazing to have the opportunity to see the world through the lens of other people. Indeed, reading is a window to the world. It's always nice to read some bits and pieces of trivia and facts from other countries' cultures and traditions.

I couldn't justify enough how my one-year stay on this platform change me but I'm having a big heart now from being grateful for the sustaining grace that God gave me.

In my one-year stay on this platform, I have gained 220 subscribers and I have written 319 articles. For some months I write every day. For some months I missed writing every day. Some days I call the day off. Ahh. One year has gone by quickly and I'm so excited about what the platform has in store for us.

Thanks for reading friends!

Have a great weekend.

Until the next read.
