I started my medium writing journey in August 2023.

Initially i started as an irregular writer, but my commitment grew over time.

In the initial months, I rarely wrote, contributing only three articles between August and November!

However, my perspective shifted in December 2023 when I started regularly reading articles on Medium.

While reading everyone’s writing on medium ,

I found myself in a vast learning ocean.

But what about earning?

Learning is also an earning, right?

So, rather than fixating on monetary gains, i focus on opening my windows -

to get sunlight at day time

to see twinkling stars at night

to get the gentle breeze on hot days!

Who knows?

With the ray of bright sunlight ,birds will weave me;

seat on my windows &whisper with me…

& I anticipate birds weaving tales of love and earning….

So, what makes you worry?

Open your windows of learning, hurry!
