Shouldn’t there be a limit to the number of stories bragging about how much one has earned in a month? There are hundreds of them already. How many other braggarts are going to show off on here? I don’t know who this writer is and would never know because after reading a few carbon-copied stories since I started on Medium, I have since refused to read any article that announces someone’s skyrocketing earnings. While these writers’ aims probably vary from gloating to encouraging, they primarily make me feel, just like you and others, furious, inadequate, rejected, insulted, dejected, discouraged that I can’t ever amount to anything but 4 cents.

Sharing my own stories and those of others I’ve met along life’s highways. As Dostoevsky said, “But how could you live and have no story to tell?”
