I had a lot of fun reading you, and you mentioned something important: the language barrier. Writing and interpreting what we have read is difficult when we do not master the language. English is a second language for me, but since I can read it, and interpret it, I can correct the translator's errors. Some people are unaware of these errors and blindly trust that the translator says what they want and, many times, that is not the case.

Every month, I receive many messages asking for the same thing: to form a team... And I did it for many continuous months without stopping...

Being a curator helps to understand how the platform is made up, it even helps to see the general level of the texts that are published. For me it is important to support users who make an effort, who enjoy what they do, who do it with passion. Above all, being a curator I made an effort to nominate someone who did not receive support but was doing good work.

I think that for a curator it is very important to leave the easy and known options for nominating, but this takes work, it takes hours of reading and reviewing.

When I stopped being a curator this August, I took a break, and I said to myself: That's enough with this task for now.😅
It also feels good to change my routine. I think I want to focus on other things that help writers more, I want to concentrate on supporting other areas, and I even want to rediscover my essence in Steemit. Because those of us who have been around for a while also need to rediscover what makes us happy on the platform beyond routine.

Curating is a demanding task and can be exhausting if we do not find what we are looking for. It is possible that the most experienced of us need to help with the creativity part to make Steemit a place where the task of curation is easier. As @patjewell said, it's nice to find a good post that we like, in fact when it happens to me, that post stays in my mind.

Anyway, I had fun reading you and at the same time it served as a reflection for me. Thanks for sharing.😊
