I am seeing a lot of new users lately and usually, their first article is all about self introduction.
In my more than one month of stay in here, I have already published 32 articles, this is already my 33rd article and I just realized that I still haven't introduce myself properly, not that it's required though.
Mostly, my articles was about my personal experiences so if you are my avid reader, you might know a thing or two about me.
Anyway, this article is not about my self introduction. Well, it's kind of like that but you'll know it's real purpose as you read further.
Staying on this platform without interacting with others is no fun at all. I don't know about others but I just think that we won't last long without having someone on this platform.
We need to build our network, find our people and create camaraderie. That is how we can last in this platform.
Can we be friends?
Just to give you a brief background about myself, i'm a 2nd year business administration student. A student leader, and an aunt to more than a dozen of kids lol. And my name? You can call me Mary or whatever it is that you prefer.
For the past month, I have met a lot of people in here whom I treat my friends. Honestly, their articles are too much so I really didn't have the chance to explore the site and read some interesting articles for my friends articles are my priority.
But these past few days, reading so many articles in here occupies almost all of my time. I spend so much time in here and i'm glad that I did. I was able to read other articles that caught my attention.
I got too much realizations from those articles. I have seen so many amazing writers full of hope and potential. Through their articles I think I have known something from their life. They opened a door, just like what i'm doing, so why not we enter those doors?
I am into reading interesting articles now and as much as possible, I always left a few words on the comment section, well, actually it's not few. Most of my comments, if joined together, can turn into an article because it's too long.
But anyway, if we will look on the stats, comments per day are getting lower and lower compared to the upvotes. Meaning, there are so many who reads articles and even giving tips but the comments are not that high.
Interactions are getting lesser and lesser.
The process is becoming into "read, tip, leave". That's it.
Sometimes i'm guilty of that thing because there are some articles which I failed to leave a comment, but I realized that if we wouldn't interact, how can we build our network?
Again, can we be friends?
As a closing thought, I think I have already pointed out the importance of building your network in here. I am also seeing so many users promoting that in here.
As to my reflection on my personal experience, I should explore more. I'll make more time to reading articles that will caught my attention. From now on, I won't only focus on the articles of those I subscribe. There are so many great articles out there written by such amazing people and it will be such a shame on my part to missed those nice articles.
More readings, more learning.
It is also not just reading that we need to improve, let us communicate in this platform. As we read articles, let's try to leave comments as much as possible. Even simple words from a reader can really uplift and motivate the writer.

This is again an impromptu article. It's quite vague I think, but to sum it all up, let's interact with people.
From "read, tip, leave" let's go with "read, tip, comment, and never leave". Not leaving in a way that you will be able to create a relationship to that specific writer so you'll keep on looking forward for his next article. And with that, you'll slowly build your network.
Also, i'm not saying that you should always tip. It is still up to us. But leaving a comment is already a big help, so do that at the very least.
With that being said, i'll end my article in here. Let's be friends people! :)
Aside from my message of interacting, i'm really looking for real friends too. Connect to me through these links below:
