First of all, I love contests without rules!

I’m on Steemit for many of the same reasons you listed, and of the last, maybe to learn about blockchain is the one at the top. From there, my main personal reason for being here, as in staying, or haven’t left, is that I am really, really, really appreciating the subtle motivation it is giving me to write on a fairly regular basis. I learned to love writing as an angstful teenager. Recently it occurred to me that writing might have damn well saved me. Ever since that time, I’ve seen writing like a lot of other healthy practices, like reading, exercising, cleaning my space, etc. all of those things are the type that obvious happiness when I’m doing them, but for some reason I go through long periods when I just don’t. I see that as perhaps life’s biggest struggle — how to maintain the practices that bring sustainable happiness. So, I love that I’m writing regularly (and also the additional fun reading I’m doing).
Thanks for doing this contest. Spread the positivity!
