1,000 Readers and Counting — What I’ve Learned Along the Way

A thousand. It feels like a big number, but in reality, it’s 1,000 individual connections — people who took the time to read my work, comment, and share their own experiences.

Writing can feel solitary, but moments like this remind me that every word we put out there has the potential to land somewhere unexpected.

I started this journey not knowing where it would lead. I wrote because I needed to, not because I thought people would read. But one by one, people found value, and here we are.

To anyone still unsure about sharing their work, I’ll say this:

• Write even when no one is reading.
• Share even when it feels small.
• Someone, somewhere, needs your perspective.

Thank you for 1,000 reasons to keep going.
