It’s officially Day 2 of my Paragraph journey, and I’m starting to realize something I never really thought about before:
writing in public is a lot more emotional than I expected.
Yesterday I wrote about discovering writer coins and how wild that idea feels to someone as new as me. That still stands — I’m genuinely curious about how this whole Web3-writing world works. But today, I’m noticing something different:
I’m not just learning about tools or tokens… I’m learning about myself as a beginner.
One thing nobody tells you is how strange it feels to hit “publish” when you’re not confident in your voice yet.
Like… who am I to write anything?
Why should anyone read the thoughts of someone who’s only on Day 2?
But maybe that’s the point.
I’m not claiming to be an expert.
I’m not trying to sound smarter than I am.
I’m just trying to figure things out while letting the process be visible — which is honestly pretty scary, but also kind of freeing.
What surprised me today is how quickly your mindset shifts once you actually start writing. Even after only one day, I caught myself thinking:
“What did I learn today?”
“What do I want future-me to remember?”
“How can I write something honest instead of perfect?”
It’s weird… I’m still a newbie, but I already feel myself paying more attention, thinking more clearly, observing things differently.
Writing does that to you, I guess.
So today’s post is a mix of both worlds:
a quick update on how Day 2 feels, and a deeper look into what it means to show up early — when everything feels messy, unpolished, and uncertain.
And honestly?
I think this might be the most valuable part of the entire journey.
Because everyone starts somewhere.
Everyone has a Day 1.
And Day 2 is where you decide if you’re really going to keep going.
I still don’t know what my long-term writing theme will be. I’m still experimenting. Maybe I’ll write about Web3 again tomorrow. Maybe something personal. Maybe something random that clicks in my brain.
But I do know this:
I want my early posts to feel real — like a record of someone trying, learning, stumbling, and slowly getting better.
If you’re reading this, thanks for being early with me.
Let’s see where Day 3 takes us.
