Saturday the 13th, my first, official Steemit meetup. When I first encountered Steemit, knowing it firsthand from 
To me, meeting like-minded creators often impresses me but more so, inspired me. Because every Steemian is not only a creator but they're talents. Talents who stumbled upon this platform not by chance, but through their ups and downs, and what you called— a journey.
Their journeys enveloped in their lives until you unfolded it.
And I got the honor to document each of these amazing individuals whom I met during the #MYMEETUP18.
These are the Steemians you'd want at your party and these are the same people you can't go to a party without.
The popular dude who knows everybody at an event
Not only he's well known but he's extremely active in the community (and multiple Discord channels), if you've known him for only a couple of days, chances are you'd known him for a lifetime. 
The cool guys who're either in the music or art scene
You can't go wrong with a rapper 
The inspiring ladies who not only cook, bake but also paint too
Armed with delicious, easy to make recipes, 
You'll also find mama 
The 'If-You-Need-Food-Go-To-Him' guy
You know Steemians are talented, well that's why they have so much to share on the platform, for the community. Sometimes, you'll come across Steemians who not only whipped out cool recipes behind the scenes, but on-the-scene as well. That talent is no other than the owner of Big Hug Burger Cafe, 
The people you said 'Hi' to, but never got the chance to talk more 'cause something just distracted you or you've gotta go
The tech team who goes around fixing or installing audio-visuals
You'll likely not find these people in one spot. 'Cause they're everywhere. If you're lucky, you might find them congregating at one corner (Warning: Only Techies). Whether they're filming, capturing your pictures or adjusting sound system with fancy gears, 
The people who oversee the operations from A-Z
If you have a friend who happens to be a charismatic host at the event 
The makers of all things natural
Remember you'd like going to bazaars to sample all the goodies? Well, instead of driving down to your local bazaar, these Steemians bring the bazaar to you! 
The brilliant wordsmiths
Never running out of words, you'll find these near-perfection writers consistently contributing to the Steemit community with their ever-so informative pieces. And sometimes, you know you secretly wanna be 
The friends you knew you'd stick with throughout the event in case all else fails
Then, you can either stick by 
Not forgetting the ever so adventurous 
Also, my biological brother, 
✰
It's through meetups like this, you truly get to know their stories.
As I'm typing this down, while I could still recall it vividly, I hope that these tales will continue to inspire many others.
By all means, if I missed your names out here, it just means that we're strangers soon to be friends in the next outing (either that or my memory has started failing on me)
Keep steemin'

These days I mostly write on Steemit.
I still have my portfolio and personal sites— virtuallydebbie.com and debbieang.com.
But these sites will eventually redirect you to my Steemit blog.
Well, what can I say. If it’s good stuff, you can’t get enough of it :)
Follow me and I'll take you through my unpredictable journey— filled with wilderness, curiosity and randomness.
