I feel the same way as you – I also quickly got used to the routines on Steem because I met interesting people from parts of the world that I would probably never have met in real life. I miss many of them, some of them painfully. Especially since I know for sure that it wasn't the weak Steem price or lack of votes that led to their withdrawal. It's great that you're staying active and can still bring your sunny disposition to bear!
