I am new to this platform. Only been posting content for two weeks now. I wasn't sure at first what I would focus on so I threw a lot out there to see what would stick. I still do, I'm human and I'm not limited to just one or two things that define me. What I did find was an excellent reaction to my comic book posts. I had intended them to be filler at first but they became much more and have reinvigorated my love of collecting right when it was at an all time low. I've also begun entering many of the writing contests, having always wanted to be a writer. I received 3rd place in my first one!! Also, Steemit is probably counterproductive to my real life job.....heh, surely others can relate. Thanks!

That is so amazing to hear that because of the encouragement and support of the Steemit community you have both found an outlet in which to pour your writing love as well as a rekindling of your old comic collecting flame!

Remember to resteem this entry post for the contest! Great to meet you and good luck!

Thank you so much! I appreciate it :)

Good evening dear steemians. To be honest, steemit has become part of my life. I have been on this platform since March 12. At the beginning it was optional, but it had not been a month when I had already made it a priority to publish in steemit. The thing that I appreciate about steemit is that we have to give a great value to grammar. In my case, when I publish in Spanish, I have to place the accents in their proper place, and that is very good, because even though we are not in school, we always stay in learning mode with steemit. My user as you can see it is @ destroyer33. I specialize in purely educational subjects in its majority, recipes, and some other cryptocurrency topics. Steemit did not change it for anything in the world, and day by day I will continue to give the best of me, until I become a great whale and can help the small fish grow. God bless you. Greetings from Venezuela.

Greetings to you! And thank you for entering the contest :)

That is one thing I learned as a writer- you must always keep writing! Doing so will help you grow, better your craft and improve your skills and talents with words and ideas.

The encouragement and support found in the Steemit community makes it the perfect platform for writers.

Wonderful testimony, good luck!

Thank you friend for such wonderful words. God continue blessing you, and thank you very much because through your contests you help all those who deserve these awards. Take care

Es un placer para mi hablarles de esta plataforma digital, que me a abierto las puertas a un futuro en mi arte, soy dibujante y mรบsico, antes de Steemit no tenia el impulso para poder desarrollar mi trabajo, ya que otros se beneficiaban de mis proyectos al publicarlos sin obtener ningรบn tipo de ganancias, hasta que una amiga @osita 21 me hablo sobre Steemit y me ayudo a ingresar, desde allรญ todo cambio al ver que mis publicaciones eran tomadas en cuenta, conocer a otros artistas y compartir con ellos mis conocimientos, ha sido toda una aventura maravillosa sentir y saber que poco a poco me he establecido, desde que comienza el dรญa estoy en movimiento planificando mi prรณxima publicaciรณn, eso me ha motivado a estar a la vanguardia de la tecnologรญa con programas de diseรฑos, ediciรณn de vรญdeos y muchas otras herramientas que me ayudan cada vez mas a mejorar mis presentaciones, Steemit para mi es mi sueรฑo del arte hecho realidad, y muy motivado por mis ganancias, gracias al esfuerzo y el compromiso que tengo con esta comunidad, aquรญ les presentare un vรญdeo corto que engloba mi experiencia en Steemit, y como decรญan los romanos "Larga vida a Steemit".

Oh wow, a video too? Great advertisement for Steemit!

It's great to hear that Steemit inspired you to pursue the art you love <3

Thank you! I wish you luck!

Hi @arbitrarykitten โ˜บ๏ธ wow I'm so happy you made this contest , because I love steemit so much and I can't wait to tell you why ! But before that , congrats on your 1 year anniversary . God bless you more and more .

What makes me happy about steemit?

It is the rush that I feel as I write each post of mine , or even have conversations with others. And every time I hold a small contest and someone new comes into my life , and as I read through their life story and connect with them more , I feel they are my family. And then Everytime I do something I will try to tag them or even invite them . I love how this community is so much more than just a blog to me. I really can't wait to wake up , to see who all commented or sent me some replies. Again after my internship and even if I'm tired...I can't wait to write my new posts. The past two weeks I have been sick and I couldn't not post. I felt so bad , so I came and just said the truth. And everyone here understands. And being a geek and a nerd , I never felt like I belonged anywhere , but this place is my home. Wow , especially now, my life is so so messed up , we have a case on our house , and might end up loosing it , many health problems for my parents to take...it's so bad, but because steemit was there I was able to survive . And this community helped me become a believer. Although I always was one , but I wasn't this strong before. I was a weak one. And I would like to thank @lildebbiecakes for helping me with my spiritual journey , I feel it's her comments that I usually look forward to.

Did steemit change my life ?

Yes it did , I was a broken child before I met steemit. But this platform helped me realize I am not broken , I am so special and valuable.
And I'm thanking Steem family for that. I stopped writing in Freewrite house for some days now , because of my weird schedule , but I just love how they made me feel.

And steemit made me realise I'm an okay artist , yeah I'm not awesome but I'm okay , and I just love to get that one Upvote sometimes. And sometimes someone will select me for pay it forward contest, and just seeing that my name is there makes me smile.

I rediscovered my faith , my creativity , me basically.


Again , the money I made here was for my tuition fees so I just don't touch it, because I'm waiting for SBD price to go up. But I try to give as much as I can , if I hear someone is going through a really hard situation. I feel this is the right place for me. I'm born to be a steemian hehe ๐Ÿ˜™๐Ÿ˜™ Good luck everyone .

What an amazing and beautiful account. This really resonated with me. I am glad the wonderful community of Steemit which I fell honored to be a part of has blessed you in so many ways.

I wish you luck in the contest, and I want to tell you I am happy to know you and have you here. I look forward to watching your journey unfold <3

Blessings to you my friend <3

Thank you sis ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜ God bless you more. Me too sis ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ I'm so happy to meet you too

Hi, when steemit was first introduced to me. I had already the eagerness to join and I was very excited to share my first post. I remember everyday I look forward that the steemit family has already responed and granted me to become a member but finally after two weeks here I am. An active member. Yey! Steemit has changed me. I thought social media is only posting and sharing but steemit is different, you can sharing by learning. I always look forward to go to work, go to the field,share not only my experiences but also the experiences of others that are worth sharing for. I also learned that I have also a talent on photography because in one way or another you guys appreciated my works. God has given me the opportunity to be part of this platform and I promise to take care of it. And as I promise, I will share more and give the best way I can. Kudos to all steemians out there. ๐Ÿ˜˜

Beautifully said!

Sharing by learning, exactly. I know I have learned so much here, and continue everyday :)

Thank you for entering and good luck!!!

Hello to arbitrarykitten, and to all the people who comment your post, and give yourself the opportunity to read mine; to start I must say that Steemit came to my life by chance, one day I was just sharing with some friends, they already had a few months publishing on the blog, and they told me that I should participate, that they were sure I would do well; However, at the beginning I did not dare to enter this world, after all I did not think I could write something that people I did not know seemed interesting, or even I was afraid to be foolish for some comment.

Despite the insecurities, I dared, I decided to share with the world, all those things that I find interesting, recipes that I have made or encounter and it causes me to share them with someone, and to make use of them like me; and even write thoughts, or find many interesting things about other users, and incredible images of regions of the world that I have not yet met, or of topics that I do not even have the slightest idea about.

Definitely, Steemit has changed my life a bit, now is part of my day, and in a way it has even become a little addictive, I really like to be able to consulate, publish, and above all create memes or participate in challenges, where I enjoyed creating the posts or reading those of other people, sincerely having entered this world a month ago, it has been a great experience to share, create, comment, read, every day something different, it is a great learning experience, and even from lifetime.

When I return home, or even within it, ideas come to mind, or I see things that took a picture of them and it comes to my mind, it would be good to share it in Steemit, this has changed my life, and even more. . I would recommend anyone to join, I hope you also feel comfort, and even pleasure sharing in Steemit.

And English is not my mother tongue!

Very beautiful and heartfelt account <3

It sounds as if you are taking advantage of everything Steemit has to offer! You will certainly go far here :)

Thank you for your entry, good luck!

@arbitrarykitten, First of all congratulation for your 1 year journey.
As a newbie i wish i will achieve the same, especially the same passion.
Why i joined here for me i just want to explore new things. I want to introduce something different in my daily routine.
Daily work sometimes can be too stressful and i just want an escape sometimes. I believe i can find it here so here i am....

Wish me goodluck!!!!

Steemit is such a great place for an escape!

And, welcome to the community! So great to have you here! I look forward to seeing you around :)

Good luck!

At first when I started on the Steemit platform in December 2017, I was such a lazy writer and commentator. I have learnt a lot from this talent creation platform; growing from being a copycat to being creative is one advantage that #steemit has inculcated in the of me. Frankly speaking, the clamour for the copyright law is not heavily supported by our government, and on this, steemit has broaden the scope of our understanding. However, I am not where I was when I started,:surely the sky is the starting point. On the other hand, I met many young and old folks who were ready to tutor me not for self aggrandisement but to wake up the better side of me and for that in am highly appreciative. In the beginning it wasn't quite easy waking up and doing this Steemit thing but alas! A day without Steemit is like my heart has been pulled out of my chest.

That is one thing you can count on here, the support of the community members :) If you don't grow, I don't grow- and it's so true.

Steemit is like a village where everyone works together for all members :)

Good luck!
