Wow!
Almost this time last year I was surfing around Facebook and I noticed a post about someone being censored and having their post hidden from their viewers. It wasn't so much the post, but a little comment under the post that has brought me to where I am today.
I can't remember exactly what it said, but it was something like;
"Facebook is dying anyway. Check out steemit.com where you can post what you want."
This was such a simple thing to say and I had no idea what they were really talking about at the time but I clicked on the link and plunged myself into the world of Steemit and the galaxy of cryptocurrency. This is how my steemit adventure began and it's been a very interesting year learning about all this different blockchain information. If you would have told me last year that I would have 500 people following my blog, I would have thought you were crazy.
Now, some might think that 500 followers isn't a really big deal. Some of the people that joined around the same time as me are well into the thousands now. I'm totally okay with that. I'm not them, and it's a huge deal to me. I don't post every day like others do. And, I post a lot of random stuff from drawings and music to short stories and video's.
I'm a very introverted person. In person and on steemit. There are many times that I find myself reading a good post and I write out a nice comment. But then, as I'm reading it over just before hitting the post button I change my mind and delete the comment. I'm not sure how often this happens but it's a bit. So if you notice a vote from me, I might have wrote a comment out and never hit post. And I'm totally okay with that too. It's just how I've always been. I hold back a lot in real life too in a much similar way.
But, thanks to the steemit community, I've been brought back to my artistic side. Before Steemit, I had stopped drawing for a number of years, my guitar playing was beginning to abate, and most other artistic things that I used to do when I was younger were happening less and less. Steemit has completely rejuvenated that and I am so glad I found this place with all of you here.
