Unpopular opinion: I love Medium

I love it because it lets me write.

Fuck the noise. That’s the first bit.

Fuck this bullshit culture that
prioritises eyeballs over
real connection.

I started writing
because I wanted to
touch people with my words.

I wanted to
make people
feel.

(Yes, I wanted to control them)

Power lives in resistance. That’s all I have to say right now.

Quiet truth. Quiet places. Simple pleasures.

Fuck the noise.

This may only reach
one person
but it will
touch them deeply
& that is
more than
enough
for me.

We are chasing the wrong things.

So, of course, we’re chasing.

We’re chasing to feel.

We’re chasing everything we don’t need.
