Hi biglipsmama,
I came to steemit after I already published some texts about the critics of patriarchy and media but couldn't really find a audience for some of my other work. So a friend of mine, someone known in Munich's crypto society, recommended Steemit to me.
What keeps me coming back: I am publishing posts daily now and have to admit I am getting a little narcistic about it. Always looking up, if someone upvoted me and checking the comments. Also since I decided to post on a daily basis, I am really inspired by all kind of things and my topics got very broad. I even published my first cooking video. So I am always trying to get inspired by other people and also search for inspiration for new posts on the internet. I am also in the vegan scene, try to stay up to date and write about new developments in this area. Well, you see, I have a lot of to come back to and a lot of to contribute :)
