Oh man, I have no words. We’ve just hit 100K subscribers. This feels so unreal.

Somehow I knew this would happen.

I told myself not today, not tomorrow, not next week, or the next month.

I gave myself a decade.

A fucking decade just because I couldn’t see myself do anything else except write (I was, and still are- not sure if I’ll practice medicine for a long time, but we’ll see). Even if I’d fail to make a living off of my work, I’d do it for the art and love of the game. I’d do it for how my words and way of saying them have impacted you.
