The more time I spend on Steemit, the more I am learning about myself!
I see so many wars going on with various politics on Steemit, but at the same time, I have been blessed to find so many wonderful people that I would never have met in my everyday life and I am learning so much about living peacefully and without violence (physical, emotional or verbal). I have joined a few groups on Discord for various reasons and seem to have found my home.

Steemit is a wonderful place if you choose to be surrounded by people who have likeminded views and you can engage with the community without fear of being attacked. If we do come under attack, I am learning that we have to deal with it peacefully and with love. If the other party refuses to accept my ways, then I will just block them (literally) but also cut them from my thoughts and emotions as I do not wish to give them any power over me.
I am one of those people who stick their head in the sand when I feel uncomfortable and I hide away becoming a Hermit to protect myself from uncomfortable situations. What I am learning is that with the support of the amazing people I have found here on Steemit/Discord, I can gradually bring myself back into socialising and feel safe.

Debate is different to confrontation in my eyes. I am always open to looking at other people’s perspectives, in fact I think this is an important skill as we all have to learn and develop in life and the only way to do this is by listening. I love to read about the thoughts and views of others and as an ‘Empath’, I truly feel when someone is being genuine and I respect that; even if my own views are different. In fact 
My aim in life is to constantly strive to be a better and more peaceful person. I intend to do this through mixing with positive people, engaging only with love and respect and removing negativity from my life.
I want to thank a few people for supporting me here on my steemit journey. Without your kind words and encouragement, I may not have stayed on this platform and be in a position to develop myself today:
This is an emotional journey for me! It is hard for me to be open about my feelings and I want to thank each and every person who has affected my life positively, I am becoming a better person because of you guys. Thank you to Steemit (
So for now, I leave you all with a virtual hug!
Thank you for being amazing! Much love and peace,
