36 Moons on Steemit!

Two days ago, I completed 3 years on Steemit and what can I say, it seems like a slip of time! I was introduced to steemit by my brother Hive account@sauravrungta in 2016 and even though I did not understand it's concept at that time, I am glad I hoped on. I've had the good fortune of connecting with people here and making good friends with them.

It has been such a rollercoaster ride here but when I look at the bigger picture I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Sharing and writing about my art or travel was purely for fun and excitement of being a part of something so extra ordinary in the beginning. Eventually it became a big part of my life. I am also glad that I have been able to help a few of my friends come aboard and gradually many people from my city have become a part of it.

I can't talk about steemit without talking about the financial independence it has provided me. Yes, the road has been rocky but I also couldn't have imagined something like this to ever exist. I have checked off a couple of my goals and wishes purely because it enabled me to. And it was all possible thanks to the incredible support that I have received from all of you. Especially from users like Hive account@donkeypong, Hive account@firepower, Hive account@sauravrungta and Hive account@jaki01 who have been constantly supporting my work since the beginning of my journey here. Thank you so much :)

Cryptocurrency is a little difficult to understand in my opinion and one has to put in the hours if taken seriously. For me it was no less than magic when I first heard of it and when I had the first hand experience of a bull-run in 2017, I was shocked at it's potential. It was something completely out of my normal interests like making art but over the past 2 years I have learned quite a lot about it. I still pester my brother almost everyday with crypto questions :P

Being on steemit also gave me a window to explore my other interests and share with the community here. In the early days, there were times when it was nearly impossible to manage it with my college but somehow I still kept going. It taught me the importance of consistency and discipline. Because of that I found my lost love for writing & it instilled in me a good habit of journalling. I was a part of Hive account@steemfest 3 in Krakow last year and it was a fantastic experience of meeting people from such diverse cultures. It was also wonderful to work in the Hive account@firepower crew and meet users whom I have only known virtually.

I don't know what the future of steem/steemit holds for us and where it will go from here (provided the circumstances) but I think one can always be hopeful. Also, I truly felt the need to acknowledge my journey here today. Hope you guys are having a good day, Cheers :)
