A roller coaster of emotions. So I could define my experience in this almost 6 months here at Steemit. Steemit for me is literally like a school, where I learn a lot every day. Before I knew this platform, it was very difficult for me to formulate some text, content, post, where in it I could express what I think, what I live and what I see in my day to day. Due to negative experience I believe that not only I but others here should also have passed in other social networks like facebook, twitter, etc. with people who use a computer to attack others for no apparent reason, with swearing and other types of aggression, we are a bit "traumatized" or cautious at first in entering another network and exposing to people our daily lives, thoughts, our lives.

But really, here is everything different. I found a place where I can improve every day my writings, my photos and as a result, be recognized and the best, rewarded financially for it. This is wonderful! (Thanks @ned, I'll be eternally grateful). But of course, not everything was "flowers", "kisses", "hugs" and affectionate affection. Due to my non-recognition in the first few months on this platform, I was still very unknown to the community, many of my posts in the beginning, I didn't have the gain that I expected and yes, my frustration was very great. At the beginning and until today I still stop to think why some of my posts simply go unnoticed by whales and witnesses, even my followers and those who read my posts express in the comments that "This is a great post", "Post 5 stars " and I'm really grateful for that, but...Why?

I thought (and this is for the beginners) that there is some conspiracy against me, which is something personal, that the whales and witnesses (the ones with the money in their hands) are boycotting me and among the other theories that I was madly formulating. With the time I saw that this is nothing more than a psychological game that doesn't do well for us that we are in a "inferior" position in the platform. Advice for those like me who are new and thinking this way is not find for guilty, since we are in a "world" with more than 100 thousand users and I understand the position of these "superior" beings (whales, witnesses) that really is difficult distribute rewards to everyone in the way users want, especially now where we are experiencing a certain "crisis" in our economy, with the price of Steem oscillating down the market and some economic measures being taken by who owns the platform. So our motto must really be: Patience and persistence.

Of course my friend newbie, and you who read this post, if you ask me if I would like all my posts were always in trending, with 200 more SBD in payments and 500 more votes for whales and witnesses, I will not be hypocritical to say : "No". But I also understand that in the same way that I deserve, alias, my posts deserve this recognition, my platform friend deserves in the same way and I shouldn't be jealous of it. But yes, I must continue to launch a better post every day than the other, for sure very soon I will also have my place of prominence.

Today with almost 6 months of platform, 64 in reputation, almost 2,000 SP and more than 200 followers I feel accomplished and happy. I hope to be able to contribute more and more quality posts every day, as well as being able to try to strengthen the relationship with everyone here in this space. And I will always be available to help where possible for the growth of this platform and the harmony between all of us.

Don't Stop!
