@mineopoly It's hard to explain Steemit and the community...mostly my friends on fb post pics of their children, grandchildren and vacations. Nothing wrong with that - but they probably wouldn't think my posts about gardening, butterflies, crocheting, flowers and whatever else I blog about was very interesting. I've met people from all of the world and learned many interesting things and had positive interactions about what they are blogging about. Anyway I've seen how Steemit has really helped a lot of people come alive creatively. Have a great day!
Thank you for your clear and encouraging word @violetmed. I learned 2 things from your comment.
Steemit is like a garden. As we are taking care of it we cannot see the growth. But as roots grow strong and weeds are taken out we find a very fruitful garden plant.
Yes... I had a hard time with what I should be doing on this platform. This has caused me time of silence and self reflection. In real life this happened when I was around 40 but on Steemit this caught me right around 50 rep. Finally I am beginning to learn to post what I like and post well. And yes, people who don't get Steemit today will regret they passed this opportunity.
@mineopoly, just blog about what you want, upvote other good quality posts, make new friends, be a positive/loving presence in the world, earn some steem and SBD! :)
Got it @violetmed. I get a little stressed about things sometimes.
