Recently, I’ve taken to highlighting a “most-viewed” story from the previous week and adding a bit of commentary.

Last week, the most-viewed story turned out to get lots of attention — and became one of the most-read stories I’ve published here at Medium.

It’s a personal piece about a memory from my early adulthood — still in grad school, not quite sure what was next.

The results (so far) brought not only a lot of reads, but also a fair number of new followers.

Welcome!

If you enjoyed this story, you may also like some of my other writing about traumatic childhood experiences, coping with substance abuse, and just plain dealing with life.

Here are a few samples — pieces I’m fond of that you might also enjoy:
