I became a Friend of Medium

The first thing I wanted to do in February

Hello, Medium! WE ARE FRIENDS now, haha!

I wanted to start the month of February with the upgrade of my membership.

It was pretty expensive to do it until now, but with the results from January (which I will post lately), it’s not a big deal.

Now I am rich, baby!

Now people will have more respect for me and will read me, haha!

I am joking!

What a bad joke!

My wife’s favorite words!

But this is what happened to me.

When I see someone with this badge, I am willing to read him and even make him read at least one of my articles.

The people I enjoy reading will have a significant impact from my support. This is great. What could I do more for them?

Without them, I wouldn’t be able to upgrade my membership!

This is how things work on Medium!

We give so we can receive.

We receive so we can give.

This is how things work in Life!

Will the membership have a significant impact on my stats?

I have read some saying that it has. But who knows?

I will come with an update, maybe after the first week of February!

Until then, February just started!

I want it to be greater than January.

I wish you the same.

Thanks for reading!
