RE: My Roadmap To 5,000 SP By Aug 23, 2019 (2-Year Mark) - 600 SP or 5.82/Day Left To Go Over 103 Days
You're 600 SPs away, that's soooooooo close! I'm still at 3,900.... You can do it, @steemmatt !!! \o/
I guess I should post more often as I used to post daily but I haven't had the ....enthusiasm, lately....
Not because of steem value or anything, just feeling a little less energetic because of some unfortunate people interactions and I have come to a place where I thought maybe I should be spending more energy on other things . __ .
But, won't drop the ball here, neither and will definitely try to get to 5k myself :D :D :D
I completely understand the drop in enthusiasm. I'm in the same boat. People who prefer to focus on pure content creation often don't get the same traction and attention as those who position themselves as pro-Steem marketers (often for show), or delve into spinning their wheels in Steem politics. That's just not me right now and stakeholders seem to put those people on a pedestal more often than not because it's presumably helping their investment move in the right direction.
If only more people valued genuine creativity, music and the arts as much... it's the backbone of Steemit (albeit not Steem). For the public's eye, Steemit is very much the landing zone for new adopters, so it's so short-sighted for people to let content creators fizzle out again and again.
While those reasons don't apply to you, I'm shocked to hear that you've had any interactions that have been negative. I can't even understand how that'd be possible, considering how you are here and what you do. I don't know the story, but please don't let a few rotten apples change your ways or goals here. You're an important cog in the genuine part of the Steem/Steemit community and I'd rather have one of you than 50 of the "others" who think they run things around here.
awww matt <3 you are very sweet :> i really appreciate it, genuinely...
i completely agree with you that content creators, specially those that try to share honest parts of themselves through quality contents, are the pillars of what would make a blogging platform work. but then again, steemit is tied to steem and it gets muddled up with the blockchain's complex cogs.
i will try to just keep doing what i do, but yeah, some days .... it's harder than others.
BUT! it's a morale boost to hear such kind words from you :D :D :D i feel happier just from such interactions with people on here, you know :) Sometimes I look at how many times I've commented and for how long I've supported many people and they dont even really care to have a chat or to find out more about what they can do for others, too
I'm not magical, we are all able to support each other. We all can spend five-to-ten-more minutes on a single Steemian everyday just to really look at them, see what they are saying, listen to what they want to share. But a lot of users seem to be "inert" for lack of better words? They just expect that people should visit, follow, upvote regularly, comments regularly, but do they do the same?
Seems like people needs a bit more of self-introspection sense, some days!
I'm not "special" or "better" than others. Everyone can lift a bit more and prop each other up, but the trouble is, I don't really see the majority being interested in engaging in real terms. Most people wants to 'earn' off the reward pool, not quite considering the system behind the 'reward pool'...
Gosh, I'm ranting now XD Ignore me.
Im super thankful for the kind, gorgeous, warm words. Super, super, super thankful <3 !!!
I will continue to do what I can for as long as I can :)
Thanks for opening up. It helps me understand you better and probably also didn't hurt to vent for yourself either. You actually fired me up to write this post now. Hopefully it'll give you another boost.
You have the right mindset. Stick to your guns and you will prevail. Respect is the most valuable asset we have. We gotta stick together here!!
