How Did I Get On Steemit?

It went back to about one and a half year ago, after I was kicked out of Facebook because I was tenaciously trying to maintain my anonymity, one thing that I think should be amongst people's right on the internet. There was time when I was addicted to Facebook. I wrote a lot about movies on it, basically to promote my newest blog post. Yes, I ran a movie-review blog on blogspot.com until about 2 years ago after running it for about 3 years. But then Fadebook deleted me for it's basic standard, good bye.

After quitting Facebook for some months, @rayfa started mentioning about Steemit on Telegram messages. It was not that smooth for her, since I was not interested at first. But she keeps promoting Steemit in every chance she got. "You can do it," she said. "You have potential." Or, "You're a good writer." Bla bla bla.

After some times, I said, "Okay. I'll give it a try." Then on August last year I registered this account on Steemit. But I didn't start blogging right away. I took some times to learn how people were doing it, and I said, "It's something totally different from blogspot."

@rayfa agreed, "It is different from blogspot, because it's also a social media platform. Think of it as Facebook and Blogspot -the two things you were once so much in love with - blended and become one. And it pays you."

I post my first article on December, 4 months after my account was approved. It was about a game review, one thing I never did in the past. I keep on blogging, resteeming, interacting. Today, Steemit has become one of my daily activities. I tried to post at least once a day, but sometimes I just had no idea what to post, it could take three or four days to get back to Steemit. There was a one month time when I totally left Steemit, and @rayfa got back to being busy asking me to get back to it. "Things will get better." And she also taught me how to swim in Steemit pool and be patient. "Patient and hardwork! You don't give up that easy!"

@rayfa has been a very good mentor one can have on Steemit. And it encourages me to do the same to new Steemians who seek help to understanding Steemit better. And here, in this article, I want to once again thanks her for bringing me here, and for supporting me and patiently guiding me in this pool this whole time.

Thanks

Thanks for dropping by.
