Why I joined?

I joined this platform sometime in February after buying a course that promised that I could just post twice a day and make enough money to live lavishly. Oh, how all the hype caught my eyes. Of course, I got a refund from those people but I don't blame them. You have to wrap your product up so that it looks good enough to catch some fools lol. A fool I was.

After I joined I was posting like a madman each day. Seeing my steemit rank climb daily was like dopamine to the brain. And it kept me going. But as you could imagine, a flame burning without fuel goes out in time. I started learning more and more about steemit and realized that people don't generally give two crap about the quality of your posts if you are a minnow. They will only support you if you have a big enough upvote to give them.

On the other hand, most of the people earning large from their posts either bought votes from a bid bot or they had 10000s of dollars worth of steem power. I don't have that kinda money to throw around so those heights were unattainable. I quickly learned that unless I place money into steemit I wouldn't get anywhere. I didn't have a problem with this but I just didn't have any cash at all.

So I guess you can say that all the hype of joining this platform was just hype.

So why am I still here?

They say you join for the money and you stay for the community. So right they were. I absolutely love the people on here. Especially the people in the Vegan Discord channel I am a part of. It's been great just talking to people and getting to bond with completely stranger through the value they find within you. That's awesome.

I hardly read posts of people who are outside of my follow list as I am trying to stay focused and build on these relationships.

Another reason why I am still here is the passion I gain from all the writing. I can pour out my heart and soul into this and know that at least one lonely soul will appreciate it, and that's enough for me.
This is like a diary from my heart and mind that will be here at all times. It makes you feel like you are a part of something important you know.

And of course, I am sticking around until the steem price hits 100USD. I am not a quitter and whatever I find passion in I give it my all. Money isn't everything but neither is my ex.

Haha, if you thought this was going to be a long post you have been had and you are all welcomed. I leave you now with this awesome song about money and I do hope you enjoy.

Just know that I miss you so so so.

King Anima.
