My Third Week on Steemit - I Hopped Out of the Pond and onto the Road For a While
It would appear that on my 23rd day of being on Steemit, I seem to have lost my passion for this place. It would appear being the key words there, of course. I can assure you that is definitely not the case! I knew that this third week would see a drastic lull in my progress on here, because my attention was shifted elsewhere for a good chunk of the week. I started the week off with the announcement of my contest, after realizing that I had finally hit 100 followers. I focused on getting the word out about the contest for the next few days after that, popping in and out of the various Steemit communities that I am a part of on Discord to let people know it was going on.
I managed to finally make a new Friendship In a New Age post as well, which was a win for me because I had not written a post for that blog in a week. I spent most of my time in the earlier days of the week curating content and trying to promote my contest whenever I could. However, I eventually had to shift my attention to the epic road trip I was about to embark on, so I put aside Steemit and Discord for a few days in order to take care of that.
On Thursday, I drove out to Southern California with my best friend to attend Insomniac Events' annual halloween festival, Escape: Psycho Circus. I will write about that festival experience in a new The Dancing Dreamers post soon, so be on the lookout for that! My preparations for, execution of, and return from the trip to Escape are what I consider the biggest reasons why my activity on Steemit fizzled out this week. I just had to be all in on the whole trip to make sure that everything got taken care of properly. Plus, it felt nice to be away from my main screen and work area for a few days.
We left the Salt Lake City area at around 09:15 AM on Thursday and started heading down the I-15. We drove through some pretty amazing scenery on the way down, and it was such a great reminder of just how amazingly beautiful this world is. It made me think about the powerful forces of nature that shaped the land into the phenomenal works of art that I was looking at.
I found a fascinating beauty in the contrast between the majesty of the natural world and the power of human creation.
Eventually, we found ourselves in California. While we were there, we took a trip out to Venice Beach and longboarded all the way out to the Santa Monica Pier.
We came across this guy, who was putting on an immersive show for a pretty decent crowd that was gathered in his area. It was pretty fascinating to watch as he switched from instrument to instrument and played entire songs like that on his own.
Eventually, the time came for us to head on back to Utah, and now I'm here writing this post to ensure you guys that I'm still here and I still plan on creating great content. I came back and saw that I had gained a total of 35 new followers this past week, so that was a welcome surprise. Despite my fast-paced successes in my first week and my second week, this third week seems to have brought a momentary pause, but now I have material to work with to continue charging hard into my fourth week on Steemit. Be on the lookout for my new The Dancing Dreamers posts, as I will have a lot of new content up soon! Also, stay tuned for my post announcing the winners of my contest. Thank you for reading!

But I know I'm definitely gonna get there sooner rather than later haha. I'm definitely with you 100% on Steem and Steemit being the best investment. It's only going to keep on growing and growing!

That is amazing. I have a discord group, I did it for the same thing. Honestly, I love Steemit, however I get stuck in these long posts that take up so much time writing. It can be difficult at times but then I remember that I came on here for me, for transparency of my practice and to help out any lingering occultists out there that happen to be frutrated by the same things. I think that things like mental illness, inadequacies, etc - we aren't supposed to focus on the negatives... I get it. However, if we are to learn, we need to communicate. I hope that my transparent journey will help someone and that I meet cool people that help me on my path as well. Get along to go along. Since being on steem I have gotten more involved in programs (such as helping with various pizzagate projects, life coaching and a few tarot lessons thus far) They are things I was interested in before, but as I fall further into myself as of late, actual people - like flesh and blood becomes more and more difficult. So, here i am. I missed your contest about my story, maybe it was on my mind. Idk. LOL I ramble.
I actually was going to say I love the pics. I know a lot of those places out that way. I used to come between Idaho and Denver. When you stopping in Boise? :)
I love that you're keeping your positive vibe and doing something with this platform. Maybe I will follow your lead. Got more room on your facebook group? ;) See ya around! Peace, RD
Honestly, that's the most I could ever hope for as well on here. I really hope that the people who need to read/see my posts find them eventually. I'm just along for the ride now, putting my heart and soul out there and hoping that other humans can connect with what I say. Until that day comes when my voice finally reaches the masses, though, I just have to keep on writing! :D
Wonderful mountains in those photos! I love mountains! 😊
Thank you! I love the mountains too! I couldn't get enough of them on the drive, I took so many photos :P
