Today I couldn't believe my eyes! Post by @the-gorilla! Very happy to welcome you back to Steemit. I am impressed with your wonderful and candid post.
Did you really think that anyone cares how much SP you have? When I read a post, the impression of it is not affected by the amount of SP the author has.
I always thought the reason you left was because you took on too many responsibilities. It turned out to be partially true.
I hope now you will write something sometimes, but not very often :-)
The fact that you don't think you're a good blogger doesn't change the fact that your posts are really cool: structured, well-thought-out, and have a certain main point. I enjoy reading something like this.
Whatever you decide to do on Steemit now, know that I'm glad you're with us.
Thank you kindly. I think that as opposed to it being just the SP, it's everything that goes with having it - how you attained it, which club you're in, how much you burn, etc. Having powered down, one user even referred to me as the "bad guy" and I wonder if other (better) authors have felt the same at some point and decided not to return.
I think so too. With each new idea / initiative, I would enjoy the novelty of it and the benefit / changes I was seeing. But then slowly I'd feel the pressure in trying to continue when I wanted to look at the next shiny thing.
