Ha ha, I hear ya. 29 in December myself, and I've seen much of the same. I try not to get caught up in what "the best" kind of strange is. I learned awhile ago that worrying about who you think you should be or how good or bad you are just distracts from enjoying life.

Not that I don't have my closely held beliefs that I will get into fisticuffs over.

SteemIt really throws a wrench into the whole dynamic though. It's a chunk of the internet that reintroduces us to the consequences of what we do or say, yet it's a unique microcosm of culture. What I could say here to gain recognition is far different than what I would say around the office or friends. Yet that same drive to improve our personal well-being through social acceptance exists here.
