Hi family, so, I was a steemian for a brief period of time before I went AWOL, my reason being that I was introduced to steemit to a friend who didn’t do the introduction properly.
The introduction went something like ‘ Hi Ennie, meet steemit, a site where you embark on a quest for steem dollars, where you ‘befriend’ as many people as possible and get their dollars. A site for exchanging steem dollars’
And so, my quest for steem dollars began, my concentration was on networking with ‘the right people’. I became a vulture that fed on the carcasses of other people’s stories; looking out for post that would earn steem dollars.
So, steemit was stressful and boring, tasted like sand in my mouth. The chase for the steem dollars felt like a dirty means of earning.
And it- the answer- came to me like a flash of light in a deep darkness
WHY NOT REDEFINE YOUR INTENTIONS?
And so, here I am, REDEFINING MY INTENTIONS, STICKING TO MY PURPOSE:
I will write only from my heart,
I will say to the steem family, the things I have always wanted to talk about,
I will enjoy my writings while I do them.
BUT, I will also pray and hope, that my writings become appreciated by the family,
That I earn steem dollars from my passion and hard work,
THAT MY POSTS INSPIRES SOMEONE AND GIVE THEM INCREASE OF LIFE.
I am Eniola, a Nigerian girl of the Yoruba descent and a passionate dodo (plantain) lover. My mum says dodo was my first love -in all its forms, fried, boiled, roasted.
I am a medical student who is 'extra' about her books and looks - one sure way to get me depressed is to find a fault with my skin.
A 20 year old lady who is learning to live in the moment, to enjoy each and every moment-the good and bad, the ups and downs. I'm learning to stop postponing my happiness till sometimes in the future- because maybe the future is a deciever; the nearer it seems, the farther it actually is. Or maybe it is a mirage, it might not even exist! . Maybe everyday is the future.
So, here I am on steemit, hoping to have a long ride with the family. Hoping to enjoy all there is to love on steemit.
