5 Things I've learned from the last 6 months on Twitter:

A thread🧵

1. Reinvent yourself.

I joined Twitter in 2007. I was tweeting about completely random stuff. I was inconsistent and uninteresting.

In 2021, I showed up with an intention to connect around topics related to relationships.

It's ok to change!

2. Join a community.

I owe a lot of my success to #ship30for30. Through this powerful writing community I have found my voice. ... and you know when you find your voice you find your fire.

There is power in community. Find one and invest.

3. Be Friendly

For the longest time, I'd open up Twitter and I'd see celebrity gossip and people arguing about politics. I refined my feed and was determined to be a voice of hope and friendship.

Be friendly and a friend.

4. Elevate people.

There are so many brilliant, innovative and generous people.

I have loved connecting with people. I have loved elevating people and cheering for their success.

5. Realize that you matter less than you think and more than you know.

Sometimes you write a tweet & crickets. Sometimes you go viral. Either way, your post will be forgotten fairly quickly.

On the flip side, you can grow by simply writing daily!

I wrote this as part of the #hypefurychallenge. I love the Twitter community and would love to connect with you.
