60 Tweets in 60 Days
The first 30 days of tweeting in a row were fucking hard. What was crazy was as the days went by it got harder to tweet instead of easier. Every day I just wanted to tweet about how hard it was to tweet! π
I really thought I'd quit at the end and say, "Ya know, I did the thing, but it's not for me." So it's really weird that I'm typing to you now. Wtf. Why am I doing another 30 days?
But I want to. I want to keep getting better at this. I love to tell stories and I think twitter is making me a better communicator. So, let's do this!
Day 31/60
After a long hiatus, I tweeted 30 days in a row and I got:

π« 6 in-person hangouts from my tweets!
βοΈ 4 email subscribers
π only 10 followers
Read on to see my learnings and changes I'll make π§΅
Lol love how my first tweet was a thread, even though one of my main learnings from the first 30 days was that I don't know how to do threads so I'm gonna avoid them for now.
Day 32/60
After long periods of not socializing, do you 'glitch' while having conversations with new people?

Like maybe your words will scramble ,or you'll talk too fast, or you'll go blank when they ask you a question?
Just me?
Got a DM about this one too.
Also, tweeted a reply to a viral tweet:
Never. My grandma became a dev at age 50. Said her 16 years as a programmer were the best of her life.

Do it.
Day 33/60
There's room for any creator to have an audience now!
— Madi Taskett (@taskett) June 24, 2022
Why? I'm on TikTok a lot and I've never heard of Khaby Lame.
I bet most TikTok users see mostly creators in the specific niches they care about.
So, know your niche, do good work, and it'll work. https://t.co/dpA7IZkLLh
Day 34/60
Best thing I've seen all year:

"Derek, why do you care about these people? They don't care about you, none of them.
Every day you wake up, and there'll be less of you.
You live your life for them, and they don't see you. You don't even see yourself."https://t.co/vxppgTL2p7
Day 35/60
Everyone knows Zillow, but have you heard of https://t.co/oLN1LHXj9G?

My Dad bought a lot of land on there for cheap and ever since, I've been obsessed.

- π₯ cooks nutritious meals
- πββοΈ massages and bathes Mom
- πΆ teaches newborn care
- πͺ’wraps Mom's abdomen to realign internal organs
All according to Chinese medicine βοΈ
Does the West do something like this? I'd splurge for it
Day 37/60
Today I learned that in Iceland, a baby carriage is called a consequence wagon π

Around 67% of babies are born to unmarried parents, and a friend who lived there said it's common to have the first kid before college (sometimes w/out knowing who the dad is), hence the term.
Day 38/60
Late night swim with friends πββοΈπ

Day 39/60
The most badass person at the party was also the quietest.

He's already proven himself through his actions. No need to seek external validation.
When I seek attention, it's likely a sign that I'm not living my values deeply enough.
Day 40/60
Dear younger self: Read the weight limit before buying that paddle board for you + boyfriend to float at night in the middle of a water-snake filled lake.

thankful to be alive π
