This invited me to Medium..
My decision to write on Medium
By profession I am a software developer, but sometimes it gets boring to do technical things all the time. So some years ago, I thought to do something non-technical in my free time. I use to watch motivational videos, so I decided to create a YouTube channel and make my own motivational videos. I had some topics in mind and I made short videos on them, and the viewers of those videos were just my family members and some close friends.
As I am living abroad, so I thought it would be a good idea to make Vlogs also and show people my life here. From now the challenge started, before I was just making motivational videos, in which I just had to sit on the chair in an empty room, and speak in front of camera. But making vlog is a completely different story. I have been introvert and shy from my childhood, so making videos outdoor was a big problem for me. Some of the problems I am highlighting below:
- If I am making video in a busy street, so I would wait for the whole street get emptied, and this will never happen.
- If I am in a restaurant and I want to show my food, then I will not make video because I would think that people might be thinking that I have never been in the restaurant before, and they will laugh at me.
- If I want to show my gym routine, so I would think that people would think that look at his thin body, and he is filming himself like he is a professional bodybuilder.
- I didn’t use to film the shopping malls, festivals or food stalls comfortably. Although I wanted to capture the surroundings, not people, but I always thought, people will think that I am making videos of them.
By pushing myself, I managed to make some videos but then I gave up…
The sad part is, I created a Youtube channel for motivational talks, and I lost motivation myself… :( :(
In short, I was lagging all those things in myself, which I used to tell people to create in them.
One of my friends had joined Medium a month ago, as she likes to write, and we used to read also some articles on Medium, so she told me that here one can write all of his thoughts, experiences, stories, findings and much more.
Then the idea came to my mind, why don’t I use Medium to share what I want to share?
And the best thing is that I can also share technical stuff also, so it would be a nice platform to write here.
So last week I joined Medium and wrote “About me” and I hope it would be a nice platform for people like me, who are not so outspoken.
So in couple of past days, I found some good informative articles here, and I am sure I will continue to find more, and in parallel I would share my thoughts also.
With that said, we reached to the end of the article. If you find any mistakes or you want to share your opinion about this article, I would really appreciate that.
Till the next one…
Thank you.
