I'm leaving.... (for China)

There are many posts on steem about how to be successfull and get a lot of followers and all that. Often talking about keeping to your core, writing about a certain type of content, etc.

BLAHBLAHBLAHDIBLAH.

Let's stop writing about how to be successful. How to get followers.
It's like being back in high school, and all the cool kids talking about how cool they are.
Which was in itself one of the main reasons I never wanted to be one of them.

So yeah. I've been posting a lot on my account here. Building a reputation, getting more and more spammy followers.

But I'll leave...

No really, I'm leaving. For China. In a few days.

I have no idea if I'll have a lot of time to spend on Steem while I'm there. Because, other things might be more important for me. Like travelling around. Like ordering tofu soup and wondering what kind intestines I'm actually getting served. Like smelling durian on the way to the office. Like getting stared at by everyone. Like taking pictures of dead cats without eyes. Like tasting interesting flavors (oh, I do miss real Chinese food!) Like working at the university there (I'm a post-doc at Fudan University). Like not learning Chinese. Like writing short stories that perhaps one day be published somewhere, and perhaps I'll hoard them until they fill a whole book. Like doing ANYTHING else actually.

[This is just me denying I'm addicted to posting on steem. But that's okay, right? Please, tell me everything will be okay!]

So, just letting you know. That there is more than steemit.
And sure, I'll try to update you about things I do there, experiences, thoughts, randomness.
