Maybe it’s because I thought it was gonna be really hard, or perhaps because I stopped writing for almost a year. It was easier for me to go from 100 to 1000 than it was from 1300 to 1500 followers. And, after being here for almost 4 years, on and off, after not putting up much content, I finally reached this milestone.
