What Does Receiving a Tip on Medium Mean to You?

Give me a tip, and I will print a kiss on your sexy lip. (ladies only, sorry boys, but don’t feel disappointed I got something else for you in mind ;)) Okay, enough with the crappy poems and dirty jokes. When will I start taking my writing career seriously?

Remind me again, why are we here? Is it to talk about lips, tits, or hips? aaaahh, tips, my bad! Alright! Hmm, Ummm. It feels awkward to speak of receiving money as a creative person. Let me make talking about tips more sophisticated to fit your intellectual taste better.

You wake up in the morning and find a message in your inbox; you think it’s from your crappy manager or boss asking you to do all sorts of shitty and boring stuff. Wait a minute! Hold your breath! OMG! It looks like the sender isn’t your boss, but it’s from Santa Clause that goes by the name uncle Ko-Fi; you click, and booaaahaaahaaa, it’s $5. I like to move it, move it, I like to move it move it, move it!!! Yo yo yo! Not bad, not bad at all.

I don’t know about you, but If it were me, I would feel so excited that I would start licking my phone screen up and down while jumping on the bed, breaking it in the process, then spending $5000 to replace it.

Yes, I don’t need the money, but the joy of feeling that my work impacts someone’s life and they feel happy to pay me…
