Steemit Achievement 1 : Introduction Post

Hi there Steemit family, this is your girl Abigail making an introduction post to introduce myself to everyone.

I have to admit I was a little apprehensive to try using this site for the first time, but the learning curve was nowhere near as steep as I had expected. It's also my first time hearing about blockchain being a term. I'm shocked that a platform like this has existed for years and I didn't know about it.

I just want a place where I can write and post about things and have the work I put into preparing the post remain available for others to see for as long as the platform exists, knowing that it can never be taken down.

I have had a number of negative experiences with other sites and apps where I have taken the time to type a post and share it, only to have the post disappear or become too far down the list to be seen, and it makes me feel like what I wrote was not worth the time I spent. I joined because I’m interested in learning about the system for rewards and votes. Didn't know blogs could be this valuable in crypto if done right.

I had a little trouble understanding the system to post and how to vote until I spent some time to just figure it out. I thank the people and teams that makes this platform possible I'll try to show support for the posts I see. I write with the intent to be understood and I try to keep my writing and explanation as simple as possible to prevent others from feeling a sense of urgency or anxiety. Because what people read can determine their mood so easily.

I have had to stop other sites because I have posted multiple times and not received a single response. They weren't popular sites anyways but I was experimenting a lot.

I have some motivation because I can see that others engage with the content here. The more I learn about this system, the more I will continue to post, read and try to improve my work. Thank you in advance for your future comments and support.
