Embracing Joyful Reading: Exploring Medium's Finest Articles
Written on
Chapter 1: A Beautiful Day to Read
Today is a splendid day here on the western side of the globe, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be alive and thriving. It's important to appreciate and not take for granted the health I possess, especially given my journey with full-body injuries. Despite these challenges, I'm thankful for the strength, determination, and relentless spirit that drive me to reclaim everything I've lost and more!
With this newfound time and emotional stability, I've rediscovered the joy of reading. Earlier today, I wrote about a book that I believe everyone should explore, but I also want to share some remarkable articles from my fellow writers on Medium that have greatly inspired me.
Section 1.1: Articles Worth Your Time
Among the articles I've enjoyed recently, "The 11 Traits of Utterly Unfuckwithable People" by Robin Wilding stands out. This well-crafted piece delves into the characteristics of individuals who are confident and secure in themselves. It brought to mind the best person I know—my husband. Robin not only outlines these traits but also shares vivid examples of how they manifest in someone who embodies an unfuckwithable nature. This article is definitely a must-read that motivates me to pursue my aspirations!
Subsection 1.1.1: Embracing Deliberate Ignorance
Another gem I stumbled upon is "The Power of Choosing What to Ignore: Embracing Deliberate Ignorance in a World Overwhelmed by Information" by the wonderful Watermelon. This article brilliantly articulates the author's message while emphasizing the significance of maintaining balance in our information consumption. It offers valuable insights, compassion, and practical tips to help us navigate the complexities of modern life, reminding us to create equilibrium in all areas, including how we manage the barrage of information vying for our attention. I found it to be a rewarding read from start to finish!
Section 1.2: Poetry and Art
For those seeking a more artistic experience, Jan C. McLarty’s "Empyrean Playground" is a delightful find. Her stunning artwork paired with evocative words creates a profound sense of recognition and adventure.
Next, I enjoyed "LENTILS LENTILS LENTILS!" by Sara from Healthify. Her personal narrative about a school project charmed me with its delightful details and includes a recipe I can’t wait to try! Sara shares her insights into the impact of a dedicated teacher who nurtured her love for family, food, and wellness—a truly heartwarming story that inspires reflection on our own family meals.
Chapter 2: Wisdom from Generations
In "The Dark Prophecy That My 92-year-old Grandfather Shared With Me and I Wished It Didn’t Come True But It Did," Alberto García shares profound wisdom gleaned from his grandfather. His ability to learn and convey these stories in such an engaging manner is remarkable. I would have loved to meet his wise grandfather—perhaps in another time and place.
The first video titled "How to Write Medium Stories Millions of People Want to Read" offers valuable tips for aspiring writers looking to captivate their audience.
The second video, "Why Are So Many Medium Publications Leaving??," dives into the current challenges faced by publications on the platform, providing insights into the evolving landscape of digital writing.
Of course, there are numerous other fascinating articles out there, such as Robert Andrew Stanley’s "(Brief) Guide to Online Safety in Today’s Digital Jungle," Brian Ziegler's "ACL Ruptures: A Quick-Start Path to Recovery," and London Steinbeck's "Your True Happiness Begins When This Happens."
Isn’t it incredible how many wonderful articles and diverse topics are available on this platform? Thank you for reading, and a heartfelt thanks to all the writers out there!
Blessings, Peace, Love, and Light to all,
