Nice to read about your thoughts here. I especially can relate with this:
Reading your work is important to me, but sharing mine is my personal priority.
It's exactly how I feel aswell and it is really hard to find a right balance. Usually the first thing I do when I start Steemit is writing my own blog. I never know how much time/energy I have to spend on the site, so I just want to have that done and over with first. Then comes gaming curation and then I check our my feed. Sometimes I don't have the energy to check out much in my feed, other times I do and I get to catch up with some people I feel I've neglected too much. I'm happy so many people show up in my own comment section, so I can keep in touch with them that way, still I feel bad sometimes when I don't spend enough time keeping up with my friends and followers. It's just a little overwhelming!
Yeah the longer youve been on here the harder it becomes to keep up and interact with people, seems like a real balancing act!
