RE: I Want to Put More Effort into Steemit
Happy Friday @ronthroop The village idiot looks like is enjoying the greens at peace. He usually knows everything though and probably laughs at us, the humans worrying about everything and trying too hard. I personally don't know much about starting a community but I imagine it is quite difficult to attract members who are active daily which is what a community needs one would say. I see here in WOX talented users who for a number of reasons just disappear for eighteen days for instance. So people come and go which makes it harder. But I certainly do admire your passion and ambition to grow here on Steemit.
For 3 Steem, a community of one is fine with me:) Still, I get your point, and will think on this during an upcoming holiday. Honestly @petface, I’m confronting a big either/or lately. Shall I pour more effort into publishing expression, or eliminate all ties to the Internet world and focus on life and art like it’s 1992? The answer lies in whichever path promises a less constricted world. But if I were to remain connected, I would want to give my all to this platform. There’s just too much noise in Internet world. I feel cut up into many pieces. Why, and to what end? Fear of irrelevance and aging have a big part in holding me back while playing an ever-tightening circle game. It seems that the more I put my self out there, the less connected I feel. I long for release and return of my sense of wonder.
I witness so much life on Steemit. So much life. Sometimes it makes me feel small; sometimes I want to fluff up my feathers and preen my anti-existentialism to all and sundry.
Meanwhile, some holiday dreaming, and time for repair. And then maybe a new Steemit community. I’ll call it, “Village Idiot Painting and Writing”:)
Maybe call it just Village Idiot! Don’t give it all away in the name and who knows what else you might start doing next 😀 I think it is better to remain connected. You can always take a sabbatical if you need to clear your mind and set new goals. But yes, I dare to think that this platform is worth our all 🙌 Where is the holiday to by the way if you don’t mind me asking?
