Holy S#@*! I Hit 1K Followers in Less Than Two Months

Holy crap, a thousand of you people want to read my ramblings. I’m honored. Apparently I’m speechless too, because I’ve been having trouble trying to figure out what to write lately.

I’ve been keeping this account a secret, so only a couple close friends know I’m on here. Anonymity lets me tell real-life stories without throwing anyone under the bus and keeps me from getting anxiety about being judged for the quality of my writing.

But that also means I have to work harder for your attention. It’s easier to connect with a face and a real name than a symbol and a pseudonym.

I try to make my writing personal though, and share some real parts of myself in my stories, even the fictional ones. Perhaps we can get to know one another slowly, and become friends of more than just Medium.

Also, for anyone who read my previous story, I’m sad to say the shrooms were a huge disappointment. I’m glad they were given to me for free, because I’d have been a little peeved to pay $40 to experience disappointment. I can get that for free by logging into a dating app.

But back to the topic at hand, I’d like to make some friends on here that share my eclectic interests. Which has me thinking I might start my own publication. Somewhere for fellow weirdos to write fantasy, horror and document their trips, whether they be psychedelic, astral or otherwise.

Let me know in the comments if that’s something you’d be interested in, fellow paranormies. And thank you to everyone who has followed me and read my stories, I appreciate every single one of you.
