Celebrating One-Year on Steemit Already!!

My one-year anniversary on steemit was just last week. What a roller coaster ride it has been. The ups have been absolutely exhilarating, while the lows have been seriously miserable.

I have learned that steemit it not some get rich quick scheme. It takes a lot of time, energy, and effort to succeed here. Even then, steemit still has its downfalls, just like any other social media networking platform. Taking time to construct a post just to have a few manual curators come along and give you an upvote can be extremely discouraging. Content exposure is not the greatest, but that doesn’t mean it can’t improve.

But I’m not here to complain about all the negatives, especially in face of all the news we’ve been exposed to as of late. Steemit really has some great potential. Ned has been transparent with the community, and has decided to focus more on the development side of steemit to curb some of the economic losses with the current state of STEEM prices.

I am very grateful to have found this social networking site. I am able to express myself and write about things that I actually enjoy. Recently, I have been writing a lot of poetry. Poetry allows me to think deeply and reflect on things I feel are important in life. I want to share as much of that with you all as possible.

Also, I recently started using Partiko. By downloading the app and using it directly from my smartphone, my user activity has since skyrocketed. There are a number of fantastic ways to use steemit besides steemit.com, and partiko is one of these wonderful resources. Interaction between users is much more user-friendly. I can now connect with fellow steemians from the palm of my hand. Before, I had to login using my computer and this obviously isn’t as easy as using my iOS device.

Not too shabby if you ask me.

I am also extremely grateful to have connected with and made friends with people all across the globe. I now have steemit friends in Europe, the US, Indonesia, Japan, among several other regions of the world. Without steemit, I would have never have connected with these wonderful folks.

It’s been a wild ride, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel beginning to become less faint as we continue riding ahead into the bright and boundless futures which remains.

A special thanks to all of you that have helped me along this journey, I cannot thank you enough!

Respect from,
