Has Steemit Affected Your Life?

I've been wondering about this for some time now and I'm curious if Steemit has altered peoples lives just as much or even more as it has mine?

For me, Steemit has drastically changed my life. Mostly for the better; there's a few things that's a negative but I will get to that in a minute.

The best thing that it has changed in my life is, that it has given me some kick ass friends! I have met some beautiful people on this platform and that is actually priceless.

Another thing that has changed for the better is my finacial status. I haven't become a millionaire yet but I've earned a dollar or two. Who would have ever thought that you could get paid to post good content? Why would anyone want to waste their time on any other platform?

Steemit has also given me another hobby to do as well as another social outlet that I tend to need since I have hermit tendencies sometimes.

Steemit has helped increase my knowledge about several things but especially cryptocurrency.

So what would be the cons stemming from my experience on Steemit?

First thing I can think of is that it has drastically cut down on my guitar practice. I started playing a few years ago and hit the ground running. I loved playing and started buying some really nice rigs. Steemit came along and the guitars took a backseat.

This is really unfortunate because I was making some great progress and now I have forgotten much of what I had learned.

On top of forgetting what I had learned, I have become extremely rusty with executing my chords.

I really love my Fender but this Paul Reed Smith is just amazing!

Other than playing music, it has also kept me inside the house more. Hive account@lyndsaybows created a #walkwithme tag meant to encourage people to get outside and walk, so that has helped some with that problem. It's just the damn weather we're having now that sucks so bad, it's making it difficult to get outside to even do that.

The only other negative thing I can think of would be that it's another reason to be glued to my phone lol. Even though I try my best to not stay on here too much. I may write a post and not come back for a day or two and then reply to comments, just depends on the day really. I try to stay consistent and support people in my feed as much as I can. Although, the wife will put me in time-out if I'm on here too much.

So I'm curious if Steemit has changed your life in some way, whether it be for the good or the bad? Feel free to let me know in the comments.

As always, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to check out my post. Feel free to follow along with me on this great journey in Steemit!
