Hello Everyone,
I hope you are well, pleased to be sitting down and sharing my thoughts with you today. However, there is always that question of which one, what out of the many threads do I grab onto today.
I decided to run with this.
You see, I have been feeling rather guilty about neglecting you all. Sometimes I have the time to actually comment and and reply back to everyone, but lately things have been very very very busy for me. And to be honest, a little overwhelming.
I want to reply to all of you.
I want to be the best I can be.
And believe me, I am trying, trying my guts out.
I have been extremely active within as a Sr. moderator and community leader of sorts, running the botty, managing existing projects, streamlining processes within msp, spearheading various projects alongside amazing, dedicated, creative and intelligent people such as Julia, Stitch, Crimson, Sir of the Cork, Dbzfan, Et, Ausbit, The Aggro-man and so many many more. I have also been onboarding users to Steemit like crazy, bringing in real world friends and family, alongside some digital buddies and even some randoms. (you know who you are, thanks for popping in!)
This is alongside dealing with my own issues in the real and online. I have always made an attempt at self-reliance due to various factors however since becoming so involved in many projects I have found that (duh?) teamwork makes light work.
I fear I have abused that in some ways, this team we all belong to.
Be it Minnow Support, Be it SteemIt, Be it friend, family or acquaintance or even just sharing this fragile little marble hurtling through space.
I'm going to do my best to be better at all the things. By this, I mean balance.
I fear I have been overzealous in certain directions and I wish to rectify this.
I felt spread too thin and so focused my attention.
Something had to suffer as a result,
It was you, the person reading this post. I have neglected responding to some who have taken the time to send their thoughts, words and even love at me. I have pushed my own agenda in some ways and ignored others to their peril, got caught up in the moment or burnt the candle dim and lost vision of the bigger picture and I am aware of this and wish to make amends.
I'm sorry, from the bottom of my heart and I hope that you can forgive my laxity.
I am going to be setting up an automated voting bot and balancing it much the same as I run the creativebot on my account to give me more time to manage my projects and ensure that the balance is kept up. I'm investing my own money in having the creativebot codebase completely rehauled and shaped into the exact specifications I had in mind since the start and I'm going to put more of my attention into maintaining the balance between all the things.
Some of you may get less attention as a result, and to you I apologize twice over, but hopefully things will be more better for all including myself.
