Happy New Year everyone!

This is quite a special post, because not only is it my first post in 2025, but it also marks 100 posts for me on Medium. That’s quite a milestone! I’m proud of myself for getting to this stage on my Medium journey, especially given the fact that when I first started out on here, I didn’t think very far into the future.

My blogging venture began as a way for me to document my mental health recovery, and whilst that is still a big part of what I do on here, I’ve branched out into other topics as well. My writing has naturally grown and evolved through the different seasons of my life, depending on what’s been happening.

Thank you so much to all of you who follow me, clap, comment and support my work on here. I truly appreciate it so much. The community aspect is one of the best things about Medium. Catching up with my favourite writers and having interesting discussions is often one of the highlights of my week.

I love learning about other perspectives and getting to know people all over the world, as well as coming across those articles every now and then that simply blow me away. We may lead very different lives, but we’re all connected by our love of the written word, and I think that’s kind of beautiful.
