Time moves fast and things change.

This is a title that can be relevant in so many aspects of life and particularly around STEEM at this moment. There have been many changes to the eco-system and to the user base in my short two and a half year as a user never mind those long lasting whales that mined the fuck out of the first few moments of existence. Fair play to them, I'd do the exact same myself if i had the chance and I'm sure so would everybody else.

The truth being that everybody here would love to have that kind of stake to provide real change, real motivation or just have the ability to nuke 99% of the users on the chain. Person A says that i'm an asshole, Bang, nuke his full week of rewards. That's the dream. But aside from my plans on STEEM / world domination, (they will have to be put on hold temporarily.)

I was talking about time and life in general.

That nasty feeling as one day slips into the next and becomes a week. Before soon, you can see xmas in the headlights again. Maybe it's just my life but at the moment I feel like it has been put on fast forward for the last while and it's just one thing after the next. Now I'm not talking about an out of control spiral or anything with a negative effect but it just seems like there is no closure to each week. As soon as one big event is over the next is only a matter of days away. All i can do is keep working away until the next one and then the next.

In all fairness most of the events have been positive and my life has taken a whole new direction this year. One i had no plans on or interest in not so long ago. The only downside is that my calendar is so full for the next 12 months that I've dropped a lot of the things that I used to love so much and haven't been able to make as much time for the people who used to take up most of it.

We all get busy as life goes on which is a real shame. To not have that time for the fun and friends that we used to. To be able to head off at the drop of a hat for wild night and unplanned trips. Too much drink and bad choices. I suppose that it's part of getting older and getting sensible. Those new experiences that come with more responsibility and a new sense of fun.

Life changes. It will never stay the same until your resting in your grave and shouldn't stay the same either. What kind of life would that be if we got to a stage and said no more.

No more changes.
No more learning.
No more growth.

It's not realistic and to be honest doesn't sound very fun. Look at how many old faces turned up on STEEM this week when they saw all of the fun kicking off. People were arguing. Posts were being made. Everybody was excited. We still don't know what the end result will be but don't you feel better for getting excited again. Something more than just showing up and posting. A little danger can be a revitalizing thing.

A lot of these changes will be for the better and open up a whole new experience going forward. Some will be a negative on what you had but it's the change that is the fun part. Gets the blood racing. Sure Justin has the stake to nuke a lot of STEEM now but the chances of that happening are slim if the eco-system is thriving and valuable. Until we have more info it's important to keep calm and keep going.

It's going to be an exciting year one way or the other so I just hope that it can slow down a bit to catch my breath.
