This meme I built is meant to make you smile, but I've had an epiphany while making it.
Steemit is more than what we perceive. It's a place that is yet to become.
It's like a baby in the womb, and we have all these expectations of what it'll be, but we have no idea. Still, from what I gather with people who have had children is there's a point where you have to erase the fear of not knowing, to be comfortable of the unknown.
Something that I've learned is that the way to gain a person's attention from the chaos is not to over try. The posts I've made that have been the most successful have been the ones that I fearlessly created that came from my purest of pure me. Where I reach the point of being "in the zone" of creation and just let it fly.
The ones I've "failed" at have been the ones that have been of a desperate sense. Trying to put on a show to get people to like me in hopes a Whale or a 1000 Minnows will upvote me.
Something that Steemit has taught me in my almost 40 years of life is to simply be ones self - and to not live in fear.
To KNOW that if I keep on this path of being in the now, and seeing that I can CREATE on a platform that promotes creation and opportunity, rather than the other platforms offer which is a vampiric place to vent - and not create.
These are good times, my friends. I'm in the midst of millionaires and penniless folks like me. These are opportunities for all of us, and I'm grateful to have the place to finally be ME, and you be YOU. We are learning from each other. Things are happening.
Along the way we may bump into each other, and make some real genuine friends. I see it happening every day.
Steemit is a Whale in itself, and so I feel like I already have a "Suger Whale" and as Steem Power grows we all have the chance to grow with it.
Steem on!
