Your post was a fun read! :)

I have been active on steemit for less than a month, so I'm not sure how it's changing my perception of things yet, but I'd say it's making me vaguely more optimistic. It's nice to see some monetary rewards for the photography I'm producing and it's nice to be a part of this new platform. The biggest change so far is that I've started spending some time here looking at other people's posts and interacting with people which is starting to become a habit already.
