RE: 💥What Value Am I Bringing To The Steem Blockchain?💥
You are amazing! I love this :) I think in life everyone goes through a stage of self discovery and hopefully we come to this reality that we are at our best when we are just ourselves :) ok, so time to answer the soul searching questions, here goes:
What value are you bringing to the Steemiverse?
Good question, I feel like I have found myself, rather than what I have given to steemit. I have found a passion that I didn't know I had (Photography), and Steemit has allowed me to be able to afford to buy better equipment to continue to develop this passion! I guess I have looked at Steemit as a way to express my photography and I try to share other great photographer's work (my resteem sunday, focus on photography project) when they are not seen by the masses. So for me I guess I have to reassess how I am using steemit and put more effort into offering more, but I am unsure as to how to go about this just yet. I will be obviously sharing my photography and perhaps I could share my learning journey as a photogaphy noob. Great question, and a tough one to answer!
How are you serving yourself and others?
I try to support people by upvoting quality content and I do a resteem sunday project, resteeming other photographer's work that I feel is undervalued or has been missed for whatever reason. As for serving myself, I guess the above answer pretty much covers this. I am using steemit to develop my skills, to pay for my newly found passion and to learn from the amazingly skilled photographer's on here.
Where do your intentions lie?
I don't really have any! haha I have just enjoyed being a part of this community and hadn't thought that deeply about it affecting people on a basal level. I think it is time to write myself a 'steemit action plan' instead of just hanging out and enjoying the blogs :)
I certainly love your photos and your eye. So often your photos are offer a slightly unusual perspective or point of view. Like the other day your photo of the forest path had these super rich red leaves in the upper right away from the main focus of the photo and this kind of thing makes me really appreciate your sensibility.
By the way, in terms of your presence here on Steemit, you do this wonderful rare thing of actually reading posts and commenting thoughtfully - I know it's easy to underestimate the value of this but I don't. This kind of thing makes all the difference here!!
Thank you so much @natureofbeing. People often comment that my photo's are a bit 'unsual' haha. I like to play around with them sometimes to make them tell a story :) Some people get it, others don't. I guess because I have never learned photography properly, I am just following my instincts. I tend to do things from the heart, whether that is my photography or responding to a post I have read. I am really glad I seem to be doing something right as I couldn't have pinpointed anything myself lol xD It is so hard to look at ones self objectively! I really appreciate your comment, thank you :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR ANSWERS!
I'd really suggest talking to other peeps that you are close with who hang out on the blockchain.
It really helps to get another perspective on things.
Great on the Steemit action plan! I'd love to read it when you've done it for yourself!
<3
Thank you for your deep comment!
Really good idea Ashley -
Yes, I agree. I think talking to other more experienced steemians or social media users (I don't have a clue when it comes to social media, apart from keeping in contact with friends) would be really helpful. I only came to steemit because my bro said I would like posting pictures of my dogs! haha I haven't really thought any deeper than this up to now. I would like to though, so I am going to put this action plan down on paper and start chatting to others in discord to get some inspiration on how I can develop my blog and bring more to the steemit table! :)
