I Came to Have a Look… and Stayed for My First 2,000 Melek Power! 🥳
Today I opened my profile and thought: hang on, this deserves a little celebration.
2,217 Melek Power! 🍻
My first 2,000 MP are already behind me. There are also 302 MELEK in my account, and I have published 31 posts since joining in October. When I first signed up, I had no idea how quickly I would find myself with things to share here.
Of course, some of you will look at that number and remember passing it a while ago. Others are still working towards it. For me, it is my first milestone on Melek, and I am happy about it.
You have to celebrate the small successes as well. Otherwise, you spend all your time chasing the next number and forget to enjoy getting there. 😄

I was curious when I arrived. I already knew the routine of writing posts, sharing photographs and talking to people on other blockchains. But a new platform means starting again in many ways. Familiar usernames help, although it still takes time to find your feet and get to know the place.
So I started doing what I enjoy: sharing a bit of my life.
Sometimes that means motorcycles or a trip somewhere. Sometimes it is a 3D printing project, a camera problem, or something from everyday life that gives me a reason to sit down and write. Recently, even a sausage managed to start a discussion. Apparently, you never quite know which subject will get people talking. 😂
Now there are 31 posts on my profile. Looking at them together, that already feels like a little piece of home.
What also keeps me interested is that Melek continues to be developed and improved. While I am finding my way around and building my account, work on the platform is moving forward too.
I like being here during that stage. There is something enjoyable about getting to know a place while it is still taking shape. You notice changes, try things out and gradually become more familiar with it. I am curious to see what it will look like a few months from now—and what we will all be posting about by then.
Nobody knows exactly where a young platform will stand in a year. But I would rather take part, share my experiences and see how it develops than spend the whole time watching from the sidelines.
And a milestone post is also a good opportunity to say thank you.
To everyone who has read one of my posts, left a vote, written a comment or followed my account: I appreciate it. Especially when you are starting somewhere new, seeing a familiar name return or getting a reply makes a difference. Someone took the time to read what you shared. That is a good feeling.
The account currently has four followers. A small circle, certainly—but perhaps a few of us will still remember these early days when we look back later. 🙂
The next goal? Let’s aim for 5,000 Melek Power.
I cannot tell you when I will get there. Until then, I will keep writing, sharing pictures and joining the conversations. There is usually another project on the table, another trip to talk about, or something unexpected happening in everyday life.
For today, though, I am pleased with those 2,217 MP.

What was the first milestone on Melek that made you stop and smile?
