I'm Now 1/2 Dolphin
Small milestone compared to some, but fairly large for me as I still remember reaching 1000 Steem Power last summer and I was thinking that, first, I'm a one fifth of a dolphin, and second, it's going to take a long time to reach that dolphin-hood at 5000, yet here I am, half way there.
I feel lazy though, not just on Steem, but in life: no money, hanging at my dad's, trying (barely) to find a job. I'm not complaining, but I do wonder every now and then what's wrong with me when I seem to not care or be motivated the same like others. I don't know how some people make it seem like "you just go and get it". Yeah, I have pathetic problems, but what can you do – my mind seems not wanting to cooperate according to all the standards imposed by society. It's easy to use it as an excuse, but it's still true though; I know what ticks me off and competing over average jobs certainly isn't one of those. It would've been helpful if it was told in high school that "you need to fake to wanting to live, btw, because otherwise nobody will hire you". I'm not particularly good at faking though which might end up shooting me back, I might be too honest at times. Or maybe I'm just cynical, seems like a fine line between the two. I also know that these negative thoughts are just a manifestation of me not being in an ideal situation, it's a whole different story when I, let's say, am traveling and meeting cool random people. So, my current style of existing is rather blatant at the moment.
But to end this up with something positive, at least I can earn some Steem by rambling about my insignificant problems. Steem $100 soon? Not yet though, so I can ramble myself more Steem when there are fewer people competing for it ;)

reaching this mark makes you graduated from level 2 to level 3 in the power up league.
And yep you can earn some steem while rambleing. I hope things seem a little brighter soon. Not everyone is motivated for the same things, you just need to find what motivates you and then spend some time focusing on that. :-)
Yeah, I noticed that :D
I figure I probably should embrace being like water (like Bruce Lee :D) because I'm always shifting with what I like to do – no reason to be something I'm not.
Thanks for checking in, @paulag :)
Keep on steeming man! you are doing pretty well!
I will for sure!
Congratulations @celestal. This is a milestone achievement. I had to read this twice, it sent a strong msg to me...
I hate being average, I dislike mediocrity and I strongly disapprove average jobs or settling for less. I will pay the right price and make the right investments to live my desired life. Well done
Hopefully Steem works out :D
HALF DOLPHIN, HALF MAN.
We know him as...

Hey, it's a good thing we can earn something by just talking things.that.are on our minds anyway, right?
Take the time to figure out what you want to do. You still have that time, at this age. Later, you might not. So maybe the not getting a job part isn't such a bad thing....

I get what you're saying, but knowing myself, I won't find any single thing to devote myself, so the best thing would be just to do something and adjust on the way. Also, I could use some money, even though in theory I could live without spending anything, but it's a bit unpractical at times...
Don't underestimate yourself :)
Congratulations!
As an antidote to yr laziness maybe find one manageable blogging project to work on - something that'll show results in less than a week?
Congratulations! I also want to thank you for joining me on steemslots and I am glad you tripled your steem!
Sure thing – you had the most value offer with giving some extra Smoke for your referrals :D
Oups, forgot to check the smoke post! I just sent you 100 Smoke. Thanks again!
I remember when I had 500 SP + 2000 Steem delegation. Fun times
