Rope
We should do what we like and are good at. My friend @solperez and I talked about this before. It is good to be open and honest and discuss what can be improved or if it's wiser to back off.
Her Steemit Journey shocked me and at the same time, I thought:" This is me".
Crazy art lovers, creators fighting for (others their) art, to be noticed but they are not great in selling. It's hard to ask for attention if you are raised with the words only hard work pays. Shouting on the streets "Buy me! I am the best, most loyal, honest and hard-working person and the plus is I work as hard as three employees... ", it's not part of our culture.
Are we working for free? All those hours we invest. The moderating, checking, the time we take to read, think about what the text does with us and how to respond or is it better to shut up? It would be nice indeed if we could at least pay the internet bill. One should think that must be possible if other claim they could built a house with Steem. Where are all those great content producers?
Steemit is an adventure and not different from other social media. There are challenges, groups you can join and there's the opportunity to meet likeminded. Are there trolls? For sure just like lazy people and a handful of overactive ones. You will experience good and bad but for sure the chance to earn makes it more attractive to hang around and if this is not the case you can try to gain fame without Steem.
Steemit can be overwhelming, scary and all those rules is not what everyone wants during his spare time. To more than one it feels like a rope around the neck while others see the same rope as a safety line or a life line. If the fun is gone it is good to take a break and ask yourself: "What is it I want for me?"
A good idea can be to sail into another direction and try out something new. No matter what we do we always take a risk, a change of risk can give a better, more satisfying result.
Let's swim together if we can't take the boat.

Newcomers - Did You Introduce Yourself?
12.08.2024
Si pudiera mencionar algo maravilloso de esta plataforma es que he encontrado seres humanos, muy humanos, con deseos de compartir con otros experiencias de vida y de escritura.
Mientras viví en Cumaná, todas las tardes iba a tomarme un café a un lugar que se llamaba "El jardín sport". Allí logramos consolidar un grupo de tertulia literaria, y también debatíamos sobre temas sociales, políticos y económicos. Tal vez, acá en Steemit se podría crear un espacio así. Una experiencia que me gustaba mucho era escoger a un poeta para leer dos o tres de sus poemas y luego decir que nos había gustado de ellos. Así leí a Rilke, a Ana Enriqueta Terán, a Eunice Odio, a Whitman...
Adoro la libertad, hoy más que nunca, cuando de alguna manera hasta el vecino vigila tus pasos para luego decir si eres afecta o no al gobierno.
Este post merece ser leído por muchas personas. Por lo pronto invitaré a @marcybetancourt, @genomil y @dove11 para ver si tienen tiempo de leerlo. Un abrazo.

Gracias por el apoyo, @irawandedy. Me siento honrada de recibir tu apoyo.
Un grupo de lectura será difícil, sobre todo si se trata de leer el mismo libro o poeta. Puedes empezar algo así en Venezolanos Steem it back en los freewriters. @freewritehouse tenía todo tipo de retos de escritura. Terminar una historia, poesía, un máximo de palabras o caracteres.
Creo que sería bueno tener más comunidades con un tema claro.
Keep on sailing.... For that ... favorable winds...
Thank you for that big booming shining heart. With that one on board it can't go wrong.
🍀♥️

The weight is reduced because of the lack of Voting Power. If you vote for me as a witness, you can get my little vote.

In the end, is all matter of perspective. How you see it, it’s how Steemit treats you. The guy that introduced me to steemit will always tell me, to look at steemit from a business approach in order to benefit from the reward.
Yes, steemit can be overwhelming but we just have to keep pushing on with the aim of building a house with steem like u mentioned…😊😊
Congratulations ma’am on your new double dolphin status.
I have no new dolphin or did some give me one overnight? 🤔
@solperez has her second dolphin though. If my next arrives I don't think I'll announce it.
It's a very good advice you received: Steemit inc is business and we should ask ourselves if we fit into the business model but also if we are willing to work for it.
Estoy dispuesta a trabajar por Steemit. Mi mayor inversión es tiempo e intelecto. Tengo una virtud: Soy terca, nunca me rindo fácilmente; y esa actitud me ha hecho valorar y celebrar cada logro, por muy ínfimo que sea.
La terquedad es una gran habilidad. Ayuda a sobrevivir y a conseguir objetivos y, en combinación con la creatividad, eres imbatible. 😁💞
Jeje. Gracias por este comentario.
Let's remove that rope and do as we like.
