Member-only story
I will probably cry myself to sleep tonight because a randomer on the internet told me I wrote bad.
I am sad because someone was mean on Medium
I’ve only really started writing regularly on Medium in the last few months, and so far, it’s been great. I’ve made some lovely connections, worked on my writing and motivation, and read many interesting articles (even ones I disagree with).
But just today, I was (dun duuun duuuuunnn) inundated by a series of negative comments from one account, the likes of which I have never seen.
Look, I know this is the internet, and people fight on the internet. But my fighting days are over.
And this was a pretty innocuous post on a subject, my opinion of a celebrity Instagram post. It isn’t my usual style to write about this kind of thing, but this was at the start of my writing on Medium, and I felt a little irked by the post and wanted to share my opinion to get into the habit of writing as much as I could here.
I probably shouldn’t have tagged ‘feminism,’ purely because I’m sure some trolls go to seek out various articles and deliberately misunderstand them. Jesus, we know how that goes.
Anyway, I received roughly nine comments. Yes, nine. Ok, a couple may have been justified as there were spelling errors (ooops)…
