It All Started with a Single Line…
Budding Writer – Celebrating the 50 Posts Badge
Today I received a small badge. But believe me, what it means to me is anything but small…
Writing…
Sometimes it’s whispering things to the page that you can’t even say to yourself. Sometimes it’s turning a photo, a street, or a quiet smile into words. And sometimes, it’s not just describing the way to a place, but revealing its soul.
Today, I passed 50 contributions on the Connect platform. I earned the “Budding Writer” badge.
Maybe it’s not a big award — but for me, it’s a milestone. Because this badge isn’t just about writing — it’s about being heard, understood, and accepted.
With every post, I felt a little less alone, and shared a little more life.
With every discovery, I tried to reflect not just places, but people and their stories.
And whenever I could, I highlighted accessibility — a value I deeply care about.
As I write this, only one thing fills my heart:
“I’m grateful we’re here together — finding one another through words.”
If even a single sentence of mine has touched you, made you smile, or made you feel seen — know that you are not alone. 
Today is a special day for me. Would you celebrate it with me?
I’d love to see you in my stories. Follow me, and let’s grow together.
