Hi Everyone :) i'm Alkyd, i'm a 22 year old from NY and my passion is inspiring others, i'm really glad to join the Steemit community and being able to finally have the opportunity of getting to introduce myself to you guys, as its been way overdue. I've been here since July of 2017 and so far i really love what Steemit has to offer. I'm so impressed that all these fascinating people with such brilliant ideas are on here and i cant wait to meet more of you and hopefully have the chance of becoming as awesome as all of you:) I joined Steemit because i have a craving to learn about the ideas of others, I've always been fascinated about the thoughts and ideas of others and understand what inspires people, i want to know what makes them who they are and what they truly value in life. I've also always been eager to really express my own ideas, I've always wanted to have an audience of people that i could truly be myself with, i want to be someone that people can relate to or and go to when they need advice. My postings will mostly consist of me just sharing some of my ideas on subjects like art, photography, spirituality, and psychology. I also will be posting lots of pictures since it is now summer i will be taking so many pictures of all the beautiful places i go to. My ultimate goal on here is to inspire and be inspired, with my paintings and my writings i will hope to make as many people smile as i can :) Below I've attached some photos that I've taken of some places and things that i love :) I hope you all enjoy!!
