I woke up this morning after the DNC had their final night of the convention, feeling happy, hopeful, and hyped up.

When I logged into Medium and saw the message to the community from our fearless leader,

, my feelings only intensified.

It was another provocative story about the State of Medium, and it had some interesting and uplifting things to say.

Finally, I felt myself experience a renewed nugget of hope, after wondering for several months, am I crazy for remaining on the Medium platform.

Just like I’ve shared in several stories, this entire year has been like a teeter totter on Medium. There have been lots of bumpy ups and downs, often causing me to want to simply jump off, in mid air.

But I hung in there, and I’m still here, even though my views about how exactly to proceed have continually shifted from day to day.

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love the Medium website, and the sense of community that I’ve found here.
