I really enjoyed reading your post, and believe it will resonate with many. First of all, you are asking the perennial question we all ask ourselves: why are we here? And second, I think most people are seeking attention in one fashion or another. It is a normal human need.

I am here because I learned about Steemit at the perfect moment in my life, when I was seeking a method or platform for writing regularly. I have a very busy life, and I needed something that would motivate me to write creatively (fiction and non-fiction) on a regular cadence. Steemit was the right thing at the right time. Very serendipitous! I have also found a community of fiction writers. I think we all need to connect with a tribe, and that is possible for everyone here.

I haven’t thought about the financial aspect of Steemit very much yet. I understand it’s very promising! That will be a nice bonus on top of everything else that makes this platform so worthwhile.
