Introducing ME
Who Am I and What Am I Doing Here?
Hello, My Name is Haley Cason, and I am a new writer on Medium.
First, I would like to thank anyone and everyone who read my work so far. Thank you, ILLUMINATION, for accepting me as a new writer for the publication.

I recently become apart of the Making of a Millionaire publication on Medium; they published a personal essay of Money Personality, I Have One?
As stated in my profile, “I am a creative being with multiple ways of expressing my thoughts. Challenging myself every day.”
Yes, my profile is purple because I love purple; if my profile is hard to read, then let me know.
I have decided to ‘officially’ introduce myself to Medium, and why am I here. I love learning about new ways to make a living for yourself outside of the standard 9–5 job. We learned the hard way that those kinds of jobs can still exist during a pandemic, but they are fulfilling.
In my case, the current earned income I have is a certified patient sitter at a hospital near my house. However, I am okay with this job; I need it for my current financial predicament. As of 2018, I dropped out of college to pay off my student loan debt; I will finish my education, but it’s not a priority right now.
I am a creative being with multiple ways of expressing my thoughts. Challenging myself every day
During the earlier months of the pandemic, I decided to get back to a hobby that I love… Art. Art has been a way to understand me and how I see myself. I admire the Italian Renaissance Era, such as The Four Masters: Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello. Yes, I watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when I was younger; where do you think my love came from. Then I created a series of paintings of myself naked called The Grace of Me. I want to link my Instagram, but I don’t want to.
Now, I have decided to be a writer. Personally, this is a hobby, career, or talent that I do not have. Freelance Writing is not my passion but an interest. I enjoy writing papers on subjects with a genuine interest in learning and understanding, such as art history and my own personal letters to God. After only writing for a few days, I am learning how much work,
I want to teach myself and learn from others and how to improve my writing, as well as my networking skills. Networking is something I am still struggling with; I am willing to understand it better. Networking can involve cold emails, even sending direct messages to people on social media platforms.
The Real Reason I want to try my hand at this…. Consistency. I recently went through an emotional breakdown about how I am becoming emotionally aware of my feelings. I had this realization that is finally kicking into gear; Consistency is the key to improving. We will repeat some of the same things every day, and it’s going to suck; that doesn’t mean we should stop when it gets too hard.
Honesty, I still have my frustrated crying session about how it’s too late, give up, things don’t naturally happen overnight. It takes time, consistency, persistence, and faith. I have always been an overthinker with a million and one things going on at once; my focus was never centered. However, I recently learned the term multi-passionate. I understand that it’s not a new word in society, but it’s new to me.
Thank you for the people who are following and the new followers. I get a smile on my face anytime I see someone clapped on a poem I wrote, or someone knew decided to follow me.
Thank you for accepting me, and I look forward to learning and writing more.
