Chapter 1: The Disappearance of Lists

When faced with the unexpected loss of your lists on Medium, there's no need to panic—just embrace the chance to begin anew!

Today, I logged in, anticipating a delightful catch-up day. With the kids back at school, it felt like a long-awaited moment. My eyes had been enjoying a break, but now, with some time before my own classes begin, I was eager to immerse myself in literature. I had a treasure trove of responses and articles waiting, and my heart raced at the thought of diving into that wealth of reading.

But then, shockingly, I was met with a void—my lists had vanished without a trace!

What on earth happened?

Those lists served as my roadmap, guiding my exploration of the platform. Now, all that remained was a blank canvas, compelling me to leap into the unknown.

After calming my nerves through this playful expression, I began my journey through the whimsical realms of Medium.

Oh no! I logged in only to discover that my lists and notifications had completely disappeared—like I was a newcomer on Medium, experiencing it all for the first time. I checked my mobile app and refreshed my computer, but the outcome was the same.

What in the world occurred?!

Fortunately, I realized that the words I had written were still intact, waiting to be rediscovered. It’s both thrilling and daunting to navigate this uncharted territory.

This situation serves as a timely reminder to back up my work—perhaps I should have done that sooner! I can't help but wonder, has anyone else faced this glitch recently, or is it just my account acting up?

For now, I think I’ll take a break from using these lists—they seem a bit temperamental.

Alright then, it's time to embark on a journey of exploration! Hooray!

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for simply being yourself.

PS—Does anyone have any information on Terry Mansfield? I hope this is just a technical issue; I can't seem to locate his profile anywhere.
