RE: Word Vomit #1: My disorganized thoughts put into words
Hey man! Awesome article. I actually made a few "word vomit" posts of my own on here.
I know what you mean. I haven't put as much time into the platform as I wanted, and I expected to have covered a lot more ground by this point of time. I guess when I hopped on the platform I kind of saw a lot of people already writing about the things I wanted to and thought, "well, that's covered". I didn't really understand the platform at the time and now I understand I should've done it anyway.
But that's the other thing about Steemit; it's all forward progress. When I look at my blog I'm very dissatisfied. But then I think about it and I think, "well, at least I've gotten this far". I believe Steemit has a lot of room to grow and with that growth will come a ton of new users. During that flood, the content we're posting now will essentially disappear, unless one were to specifically look for it.
So I think we're all doing well here, in my opinion. I haven't really written about anything I planned on, but I believe there is plenty of time for it. And as I touched on before, the longer we wait, the larger our audiences.
Cheers!
Yes that is exactly how I feel. I guess I wrote this one late at night around 3am. I guess its to maybe make myself feel better lol. Im actually silently laughing in my mind while reading this now but I believe these were all valid thoughts.
I really believe we should give ourselves some slack. It all started when I began looking at whales and how they earn so much. I just cant help but compare myself which is so wrong on so many levels. We are our own here and we simply let people decide if they hit that upvote button or not.
Long post, short post, informative or artistic, the choice of hitting the upvote button isnt really yours to make. So I say give yourself a break, try to make good content and leave the rest to the community.
And yes I believe I read your rant with regards to the slider. I use busy.org to give me that false assurance of having my own slider lol. But before that, I did envy others a lot.
Anyways, thanks for reading man. Best of luck to us!
