RE: ✳Giving Back To The Community! Sending SBD To Steemians!✳

in #community6 years ago

You are too much. So sweet!!!! Always giving back. Karma will surly swing something great and slap you in the butt with it. : )
When I first came to steemit I was really just exploring while thinking of a new altcoin to invest in. I fell in love with the platform but was disappointed with the way the hardworking/creative folks were being not rewarded. I saw pictures and paragraphs that meant nothing being paid $500 in a few hours. I tried to reach out to a few older steemians and was basically ignored.
I found myself in the new section and saw someone creating some cute art and checked out his post. I really liked his work and found him hilarious. So I commented. @overkillcoin responded immediately and genuinely which was rare to me in here. Finally a human I thought to myself. I had seriously thought about not even coming back before I met him. Everyday I look forward to our interaction. It gave me a whole new thought about the members here on steemit. He recently designated his SP to a new user who he felt would appreciate the feeling of giving. He did this with really no fanfare at all. Not asking for a pat on the back and never “promoted” it. Talented, personable, genuine, consistent and giving. He’s the meaning of this platform. Luckily since I met him I have met some wonderful people. Love it and addicted. I would have left if not for meeting him. I’m sure of it. And now I’m here to stay. Now to planning my direction. Hmmmm : )

Wow, this saddens me. They may have been too busy in general, but if they had time to respond to others, they should have had time to respond to you as well. A large part of Steemit has a heart problem, sure everyone's here for fortune and fame, so self interests are going to be at the forefront, but it's so blatant and ugly at times — to the point that I wonder if some of the large SP holders have a conscience or shred of empathy :(

I'd better reign myself in here, but I could go on (and on...)

I think it's easy to differentiate one's self here, simply by giving a care. Even in the things I do to promote my own success, I don't want to lose sight of others - I want to consistently give back...

And - on another note, we're glad YOU'RE here too! I'm looking forward to your posts. I may even learn a thing or two... Like... what a basketball looks like, how a hockey puck moves - or how a baseball diamond isn't an actual diamond... ☺
