Merry Christmas and Many Thanks!
A Message of Gratitude
I would just like to take a minute and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays wherever you may be reading this.
I just started on Medium last month and did not know much at all about the platform. I quickly found it to be very positive and welcoming. So many people on here were genuinely interested in helping new users out. People like Ayoub Bouamriwrote some really helpful and encouraging posts that helped me immensely.
I am really grateful to everyone I came across who offered their advice and wisdom on how to succeed. Honestly, I was not used to seeing such genuine positivity online and it was refreshing.
I was really humbled that people would take the time to read my work, and for everyone who left a comment, Thank You! Special shout out to Donna J. Allen, Hweblogs, Kristie Leong M.D., Rebecca McGee, Robin Nemesszeghy, Laura Bissessar, and Art Nunymiss.
It really means a lot that you took time out to read my work and leave feedback. I had read comments on other stories where people said they were not getting any views or reads and that made me nervous. Your feedback and engagement encouraged me to keep writing and be more active on the platform.
To everyone that followed me or read any of my work, Thank You! I’m excited about the coming year and looking forward to improving as a writer and continuing to read work from so many wonderful and talented writers here on Medium. It really is a great community, and I’m glad to be a part of it.
