I used to get curated.
I think the last time was like almost 2 years ago now with a poem that was titled Broken English. I found it interesting it got curated like a month after it was published. Maybe it was some kind of joke and a see you never good bye wave.
At first it hurt. I’m so geared towards external validation. Then I started to think that maybe Medium uses curation as a tool when they feel a writer needs more exposure and when they feel that through that exposure they will be more productive. I have never been productive. A poem every two weeks is hardly productivity.
Anyway. I have resorted to read what I like, and hope for the best. Maybe I use the word Medium too much in my comments. I think the other day I told someone it is like social media. Not entirely in a disparaging way. But anyway.
I’m going to sleep a little more before I go to work.
