Recently I read a post about change and it really struck home for me and made me think. After thinking about this for a few days I realised a couple of things that I desperately needed to change.
I change a few months ago, my whole attitude towards steemit had changed. Before I was super involved and optimistic about steemit and loved curating and reading posts. Looking and who I am now I don't see the real me, I had changed and I stopped curating and doing the things I liked, I stopped reading posts and had a bot upvote them for me.
Looking back at it all and why this changed happened, well it was linked to my daily gems which had a lot of criticism on some good and some really bad. The bad criticism made me really unhappy and eventually I stopped doing my daily pick of hidden gems. I moved over to curating in Curie, by submitting posts. It wasn't the same and things just got worse and worse as time went by. I sunk deeper and deeper into despair, and even got to the stage where I stopped posting.
This week is when I just decided to got to the new section of steemit and my eye was drawn to a post about change, I hesitated at first but opened it and started to read. My heart started to melt as each work pierced it. I knew right then that I will change and that I needed to change.
I have learnt it is easy to slip into a cycle of bad change as it doesn't take much effort, but to change for the better is where we really see who we are and how badly we really want something. To make change even harder is we learn who we are and for some the true them scares them.
