@Snowpea has started a new Challenge called The New Challenge I'm Starting. This challenge will make you think. You find yourself thinking back on your Steem journey and reevaluate what is, and was, most important to you.
If you get a chance I would highly recommend you do it. I think you would be surprised by some of your answers. Oh and @Katrina-ariel was so kind to tag me in it too but I still love her anyway.
The Questions
1.) In my opinion, what are the two greatest aspects of the steem platform?
Steem helps you find the real you (again). The one that can write, sing, or make poems that have deep meaning. The person that writes from your heart and soul.
@Mariannewest's Daily Freewrite prompt, as of tonight is 335 days old, began a journey for me that I never would have predicted. A journey to find my voice in writing down all the things whirling in my head. If not for her starting the Daily Prompt I never would have even tried. Scary to think that but oh so true.
The people gathered here are a treasure to behold. Yes, there are some good and bad. Make your choices wisely. Find people you like and have things in common with. People that will stand up for you, believe in you, and hold you when you fall.
The people here, that I have met, are the most creative people to be around. They share what they know with open arms and if they don't know the answer will go out of their way to find it for you.
2.) What are the 2 largest complaints I have concerning the Steem platform?
Wherever large groups of people gather drama will be around. Don't get caught up in the drama. Steemit is a bit over 2 years old. A lot has happened in that time and will still happen as the years go by. The world evolves and grows, even blockchains. The stories of old get lost of the Why something came to be. If you are not part of the original story walk away. It is not yours to speak on.
Make your own happy stories with your friends. Do not live in the past, as some like to do, rehashing old stories over and over again. Make your Steem world what you envision. There is enough room here for all of us to live peacefully side by side.
Quality Content. Two words when put side by side on Steem has a million different meanings. Who is to say a post of a photo of a man didn't make you stop in your tracks. Make you feel something so strong that you kept going back and back, to look at it again, is not quality content.
If something seen, read, heard on Steem brings overwhelming emotions to someone, who are we to judge what is quality content for everyone? We, as humans, are all made different. Why would one think we all would like or love the same kind of posts? It's an impossibility in a place where individuality is to be the prize.
3.) What 2 moments are the most memorable to me?
The night I almost left the playground of The Alliance. That night was a huge turning point for me and my journey on Steem. If not for that night and the talk @ enginewitty and I had I don't think I would still be here. "Thank you @Enginewitty once again!!"
If you don't already vote for him as a Steem Witness you should be. We need more Witness like him.
Meeting, talking to, laughing, and singing with @Surpassinggoogle would be next (Thank you 
He gave all of us hope, acceptance, joy, confidence and respect. He is a light for so many in a place where there was a lot of darkness on Steem. If you do not know what an Ulog is Go here and watch the video you will find there. You will see how it has changed my life.
Surpassinggoole is also a Steem Witness under the name @Steemgigs. If you don't already vote for him as a Steem Witness you should be. We need more Witness like him too.
4.) What are the two most important lessons I've learned in my time as a Steemian?
Be me. Just me.
Follow my heart, soul, and instinct when writing posts.
5.) Out of my entire time here, what 2 posts am I most proud of?
Spent and Tired
On day 55 of
's daily freewrite, the prompt was 'spent and tired'. I wrote a story that day. I had not known many people here on Steemit yet. No one really knew I had Fibromyalgia.
The story that came out of me that day is a day in my life. It is something I deal with every day. From this illness and other things that have happened in my life before I got sick, I try to take one day at a time. Enjoy each day for everything that it brings to me and everyone it brings to me.
This video is not for sympathy but to raise awareness. What you see and hear is not always what is really going on in a person's life. No one lives another person's life but them. Kindness and bringing a smile to a persons face can go a long way in anyone's day.
ULOG 7: The Fundraising Video Which Became a Birthday Present ~ posted by @Shadowspub
Yes, I know it said "my posts I'm proud of" but this post and video I am so proud to have been a part of. Honored really. Watch the video and you will know why.
My Steemit exam is finished. I'm not sure how interesting this will be to anyone but me but I did learn a thing or two about myself and Steem so to me it was well worth doing it. For that reason and that reason alone, I am tagging some people to do this Challange.
