Some babble
In some ways I am a very simple person, life has always been pretty much a game to me. You know those type of games where the enemies come in waves and you just see how many levels you can hold out for before you finally get overwhelmed and killed ? yea that type.
@tarazkp often has some interesting posts and he made one recently that included the topic of comparing yourself to others on steemit. It got me to thinking how much or little of that I do and I guess to me it was always simple. Am I fed ? am I not in pain ? do I have a place to stay ? if I check all those boxes I am pretty much happy. I dont ever really get jealous of anyone because in my mind life can always get much much worse, so I spend more of my time being grateful than worry about what others may have. I always think of a rabbit and how a rabbit lives its life, always on the run with a million different predators all trying to kill it until one day it slips up and gets torn to pieces. Compared to that my life is easy, and that thought never leaves my mind.
What I really like about Steemit and am grateful for is the sense of community that can build up through even topically similar people. I notice someone will think or feel similar on an issue whatever it may be and I start to root for that person. It is nice to know that with a click of a button I can change their life for the better. I also find a lot of inspiration in watching so many steemians do their thing. You get to watch as people try new things and grow. I love that entrepreneurial spirit perhaps because I always ended up doing my own thing already so it really keeps that motivation fresh in my mind.
It has been a pleasure to get to know many of you and watch/read about your adventures and thoughts on your blogs. A sincere thanks to those who take interest in my artwork and take the time to look at it. Your comments really help a lot, it gives me many different sets of eyes to view my work from and its cool to be on this adventure with you.
Imagine if this place sticks around for 2-3 -? years and Steem keeps chugging along. It could be life changing for a great many people and that is something exciting to be around.
Ohh the Steem blockchain has no reason to stop going, maybe Steemit will be gone, I doubt it though. They have too much Steem lol!! I have enjoyed watching you come here and grow. While I did the same thing myself.. I like the freshness of the, the experiment. All the different things it's doing. All the contests, Steem park, steemgigs, dlive, dtube, dmania, steepshot.. then all the future possibilities with the launching of SMTs and all the crazy awesome entrepreneurs here. Some crypto tied video games, things like that. Anarchoforko, I wish I could go to that. Maybe one of these next times though!
Sorry for the sprawling comment lol, but thanks for being here and sharing your time, your opinions and your art. You are appreciated
You raise a lot of good points. Embracing that self direction is so important. We have been I'm some tight spots over the years, I'm sure of it. It's so good when we can come together, for one reason or another. And support each other. Going full bloom, as we continue to rise to our dreams.
I relate so much to this;
Life has been so much worse for me at some point and I can't be more grateful that I am better now. I don't worry about those on top of me at all but those below me give me sleepless nights. I guess its because I know what lacking does to a soul.
I LOOOVE YOUR ART BTW :D
Thank you so much for sharing. Relating to others is what keeps us going :)
Yea it's been an interesting road. I didn't really expect much from steemit. Was just fun and an outlet. Now I see it changing live left and right. Like literally all people talk about around me is steemit. It's surreal!!!
That's a beautiful way to think of Steemit and the community here.
Oh, and rabbit is delicious.
That's a beatiful way to think of steemit and the comunity here. Oh and rabbit isdllicious.
Pandering for votes. Continue on. :)
2, 3 or 10 years down the track and who knows what potential has planned.
I'm just tryin' to hippity hop!
I feel steemit will be around for a long time to come. I also know that eventually there is a likely hood of something else coming along that tops steemit. I know, I know it is hard to believe. But those of us that remember Myspace know that Facebook killed it, and Steemit will eventually kill Facebook. Then one day a few years into the future it will happen to steemit too. But what will replace steemit will be even better. Those of us who adopted the blockchain early will be the biggest benefactors of it. The blockchain will change the world, I believe for the better because governments are not controlling it, the people control it.
