A beautiful journey to be undertaking Emelie :) Without self care and love for what we are on the most subtle levels the world that one perceives can be quite bleak! I think you are already quite aware of this fact after reading your post though.

Nature is by far my favorite gurus when it comes to self exploration and understanding. We are merely a reflection of its innate beauty and it has so much to offer to this understanding. The woods behind you look very similar to the pine forests near my home in the Sierra Nevadas. If you feel like sharing may I ask where you have settled your hermit life?

I also deeply connect with what you said here

Steemit feels like a parallel utopian universe (platform) in comparison to other socialmedias out there

For a very long time I have been adverse to what social medias have done to the global society and to find a place like steemit where people are genuine, vulnerable, and above all else honest about who they are is a major relief and gives me so much faith in what community can do for us as a race.

I'm glad that you have found this place and I appreciate a follow from someone who seems to have a very similar outlook to what this grand stage is all about. I look forward to the unique gift you will bring to the platform. Hope you have a magnificent day :)
