RE: Just A Pretty Face? | Are We Missing Important Things By Taking Everything At Face Value On Steem?

in #steem6 years ago

Omg. I can't believe you have experienced this and if I knew who they were I would downright flag the everything out of them. I KNOW what you do for this platform and have always admired you for it, both with and without your face. Don't worry.. it works the other way too... I'm not sure how much validity I have as an older woman here who isn't pretty by whatever standards this society gives us. Dammit. Why am I naive to think it wouldn't happen on this platform?? Because I've seen stuff.. and have been politely ignoring it in the hope the good stuff outweighs it all. A honest and fucking brilliant piece. Resteemed.

Oh thanks but seriously.. they were put in their place and I didn’t even have to do it.. so it was fine. The other part I just need to work on shaking.. and I’m about there.

You are so incredibly kind, thank you for that. Wanna hear something crazy though... I’ve always admired you 👀

You are hands down one of the most exceptional content creators on this platform. Your content is high quality, so personal and sooo well done. I remember reading the first blog post I came across of yours and being absolutely blown away.. your content speaks for itself.. embrace that.

Even more than that though, you have now taken all of your talents and used it to embrace and uplift other amazing authors.. you are a perfect example of someone who is doing right by the platform in so many ways, thank you for that.

There is of course bad here.. and quite frankly when I’ve come across it I wish I could just not know, but there is a lot of good too.. and I am a firm believer that uplifting the good is always the answer. Finding our own communities of like minded individuals who also can recognize the good and come together to make a difference.. that’s the goal, and I think you are doing a great job of that.

Thanks so much for your absolutely over the moon kind words and for just being you.. we need more folks like you around here. ❤️

Awww shucks. I might just print this comment and frame it. You have made my day. Thankyou so much for the compliment! I have been working so hard here so it's nice to be recognised.

I guess one of the things I loved about Steemit was it's diversity - age, gender, race etc seems to fade into background. Yet of course for some these identities are relevant, and that brings up some stuff for me and makes me feel sad and a little jaded about humanity as a whole. But it shouldn't - really, it's few and far between as there are many amazing people here. I have some close confidantes on Discord too for the real venting of steam, so to speak!! Focussing on the good folk like you, @llfarms, keeps me here. 💜💜💜
