Summary

Lucian, a Medium writer, reflects on the unique 29th of February, expressing his desire for a perfect month-end by reaching 1000 followers and earning 200, with just 12 needed on the last day to achieve this symbolic financial goal.

Abstract

In a personal article titled "The Perfect Month Ending On Medium," Lucian shares his anticipation for the end of February, a month that has brought him significant growth in followers, earnings, and overall progress on Medium. He is on the cusp of reaching 1000 followers, needing just one more to hit a new milestone. Financially, Lucian is 12 shy of earning 200 for the month, a goal he narrowly missed in January. He admits to not believing in himself enough previously and now seeks the universe's and Medium's algorithm's favor to boost his visibility and reach his targets. Lucian finds the coincidence of needing the same amount, $12, to reach both his follower and financial goals humorous and serendipitous.

How do you feel about this day, the 29th of February? For me, it is a privilege and a gift from the universe. It is like you get free time for free, haha!

With this day, 2024 leaves behind February. March is ready to start, so my progress on Medium.

Regarding it, February has been incredible. Numerous things and events happened: stats increasing, more money in the bank, more followers, more of everything. I will keep the details for another one. I can’t wait to write and publish it.

I love endings because they bring new beginnings. But I also love endings when they are perfect. And I am not that hard into happy endings. It is ok for me if the hero dies at the end if it makes sense and brings another touch to the movie.

But I want this month to have that touch of PER-FEC-TION!

What do you mean, Lucian?

At the moment of writing, I have 999 followers. Imagine that! One more to reach another milestone.

I am not worried about not reaching it today. I will reach out and write about it.

So, a part of the perfection is almost there.

But there is something more, and this is not giving me peace.

If you remember my article I had on the last day of January,

I was struggling to reach the milestone of $100 in a month. A day before it, I needed $12 more.

And it didn’t happen. The reasons are in the article. But the most important one is that I didn’t believe in myself enough that I would reach it.

Today, on the last day of February, I need $12 more to reach perfection.

PERFECTION equals $200

As you know, $200 made in a month is a milestone I have. And why shouldn’t I strive for it if I am so close?

Why do you keep it for the last day, Lucian?

Two weeks ago, I thought I was too far from reaching it. I didn’t put the necessary effort into the platform.

So, here I am again, begging the Universe and the Medium algorithm to make my articles more visible today.

Hopefully, the reads won’t stop coming today!

Anyway, the coincidence of $12 is insane and funny, haha!

Thank you for reading!
