I'm so glad that you've come to Steemit, @shaka! Congratulations on your second anniversary :-) Your pictures are beautiful, and Crete looks like paradise through your lens. I recognize everything you describe here about your experience on this platform: it's just amazing to me how many like-minded people I've met here. And I can tell you that I to was bouncing up and down in my room the first time I got a whale to upvote one of my posts. And I still do; honesty demands that I admit I discovered your blog because of the rather big upvote you gave on my latest post, and I want to grab this opportunity to express my gratitude for that, @shaka. It's people like you that give us, starting Steemians, that extra motivation to keep creating quality content, to keep trying to get better at whatever we're doing here :-) Thank you so much; you keep my confidence in the basic goodness of humanity alive <3
Oh, and that collage you made is great to! When I saw it I immediately thought: Life of Pi! It just has that feeling about it... ;-)
