Anything that gets your blood racing is probably worth doing. - Hunter S. Thompson

It may sound ridiculous, but I'm still excited as a kid whenever I'm about to submit something new to the blockchain.

15,000 posts makes an average of ~16 per day, and I know what you're thinking now:

Does she have a life?

Yes, she does :-) And I'm going to tell you how that is even possible.

Steem has become an integrated part of my day-to-day life, and I've found many ways to synchronize my activities on- and off chain.

Supposedly that's what happens when people do effectively burn for something: it never feels like work or something we have to do.

I'm incredibly grateful that I stumbled upon this place two and a half years ago. Being part of this community inspired me to try a lot of new things, just mentioning the surf video production as one of them.

Now my life could be easily devided in the time before Steem and after it, while the second part feels being extra shiny :-)

Thanks for having me!

Steemit is the next killer app.

That's how @knircky got me on the hook in July 2016.

I'm glad he insisted and didn't stop sending me messages during almost a month. Yes, providing me with links to @heiditravels earning thousands of $$$ was apparently a great strategy in the end :-)

Reading those old conversations now really cracks me up.

My favorite part is where I say:

What I don't understand yet is how that money investing thing works.

I guess I meant: where the money comes from (lol).

Here's how knircky onboarded me to Steem:

What a journey!

To me it feels as if a whole lifetime had passed between posting that very first introduction and celebrating today's milestone.

During the past years I've effectively made some life-changing decisions based on what I learned and accomplished on Steem.

Many incredible people from all over the world have inspired me to do things I had never dreamt of before.

Yes, it's good to be here!

Thanks for reading those 15,000 meaningful and less meaningful posts of mine. I warn you: there will be more of them to come :-)

Much love,
