Thanks for your sharing. It's a gold in the mud to find an article not mentioning taking actions for money...

From the time I found my passion for writing, I've been taking more than 10 classes in the past five months and started writing on Medium on May 26th. Online courses were still Expensive for international students and I didn't have a work.

I've been writing one article since I started on Medium and not making any money for these five months and 17 days, still counting...although I sit at the laptop for at least 10 hours every day.

I once felt like posting my past depression written by my soul while having goosebumps would receive other people's comments and ampathy, but all I had is 1 or 2 clapps.

So, I laid on the bed all day because I know nothing would be changed even I made an effort, but I still ended up opening the laptop and starting typing, and the time started ticking, I felt alive again.

Keep taking action and stop overthinking! I hope one day I can be like you someday...when I'm at 70..? (I hope not..)
