When I embarked in this journey
Today I am feeling a bit lazy to think about what to write so I wanted to try my hand in another writing challenge. I am writing this a few minutes before my last class for the day though so I might not be able to focus much.
About the Challenge
Before we start, I want to share details about this writing challenge. It was started by @MoonTrader and since then, I have seen many writers share their own experience on read.cash.
For this challenge, all you have to do is answer four questions related to your read.cash experience. I think this is perfect especially during the days when you might struggle to think about which topic to write about. The additional mechanics for the challenge are in the last part of this article.
The Questions
How did you get here in "READ CASH"?
How Challenging it is as a writer that need to write article everyday?
How did "READ CASH" help you?
What are the Lessons that you learned in "READ CASH"?
These are the questions that one must answer for this challenge. Since no mention of creative criteria was mentioned, I will write on the assumption that it must follow the Questions and Answers format.

How did you get here in "READ CASH"?
I embarked on this new writing journey when I learned of it from noise.cash. I actually found out about it before but I hesitated to join when I saw that most top articles were about cryptocurrency. As a noob, I was intimidated so I tried to forget about it.
However, just like what they always say, the things that are meant for you will always find their way back to you. So when I re-encountered read.cash again, I knew that I had to give it a try.
I am actually not sure if I am anyone's affiliate since no one ever mentioned anything to me. I also did not find this by word of mouth so I am not sure whose affiliate link I might have used.
How Challenging it is as a writer that need to write article everyday?
I believe that the most challenging thing about the need to write an article daily is my hectic schedule. I am still a college student right now so most of my attention is on academics. I was able to write an article daily a few months ago, but now my sister helps me fill the gap days when I am too busy to write an article.
Moreover, there were times when I had to conquer writer's block just to write an article. It is usually not because I had no topic or no motivation to write but rather, it is that my body just wants to rest sometimes. Although this is challenging, I usually find myself on top of my laziness no matter how tempting it is to skip a day of writing.
How did "READ CASH" help you?
Read.cash helped me in many ways. The first one is that it re-ignited my love for writing. For many months, I was just a shadow of my past self due to some difficult events I had to endure. Writing was once my haven but that time I was too down to even pick up a pen to write a sentence let alone the thoughts that ran through my mind. It felt like I was burned down by my passion for things before and I had nothing left but the ashes of my long-gone self.
However, everything changed when I found read.cash. The famed story of the phoenix felt like it relived its life with me. The passion that I thought I lost was once again ablaze. I rose from the ashes of my defeat and the fire continues to spark brightly since then.
Additionally, read.cash also helped in letting me meet wonderful people. These people are my guides to this wild world where many things do not make sense. From the writers here, I learned things that I never would have encountered outside of this sanctuary. From learning how to view the world in a different perspective to learning different hacks on how to save money, I never ran out of new things to discover from the amazing writers here.
What are the Lessons that you learned in "READ CASH"?
The first lesson I learned from read.cash is that people can be kind. Nowadays, social media is so toxic that it is easy to forget about humanity's good. But in read.cash, I found a community where everyone is free to speak their minds as long as it will cause no harm to others. This is a place where I encounter various opposing views yet a healthy exchange of ideas can take place without any ill words to anyone.
Furthermore, I realized just how many things I still have to learn about the world. I discovered new things not only in cryptocurrency but also in many fields where writers share their knowledge on this platform.
Although to be honest, the most important thing that I learned is probably how to start making my own well-informed decisions. The advice of DYOR is always written here that I have started to live by it. No more do I impulsively spend my money on interesting things, now I look into them first before I even open up my wallet.
Closing Words
This is my origin story on read.cash. It is a fun adventure where everyone I meet seem to only want the best for everyone here. I do not see much negativity nor envy in this platform which is probably why I stayed. It is not always sunshine and rainbows, though, there were challenging twists on the roads I have walked on but I can confidently say that it is a worthwhile journey.
I highly encourage everyone to join this challenge as well. The mechanics for the challenge is below for more details.
