Hey dude, don't even worry about it!
I know perfectly well how it feels when you work your ass off on a post and nobody appreciates it, but then you create something really fast, unedited,unrefined, definitely not your best thing, and you get undeserved merit. It happens. I guess, the important thing on steemit is to not let the dollar sign influence your current mind state. That's the main problem most of us have here on steemit. Just post as if you'd share something on twitter or facebook. Random thoughts, well written posts, whatever you like, but just make you sure you enjoy making that post, because if you don't, then this is just another shitty penny job that you don't enjoy. Going to resteem this so you can get that extra motivation. Go go go!
