He lives! Good to see a post from you, @negativer. I really do miss them when you go dark! I think the occasional musing and a photo is a great approach. We put too much pressure on ourselves to write Fabulous Posts. As one of your fans, I just wanted you to know you could probably write a haiku about your cats once a week and I would love it as much as a longer, more thought-provoking piece.
I think part of it, for me, is that I'm 'angry' at steemit and the price of steem (and possibly on missing out on selling it when the price was super high), so every time I look at it and the size of my wallet I'm reminded of my failure and the devalued earnings against the effort I've invested. Much salt.
I need a simpler reason to post. Cat haiku would be perfect, as well as your 50 word stories. Just need to overcome my salt...
Yes, that is totally understandable. Maybe my story will make you feel better. I started my career as a technical writer in Silicon Valley. At one point I looked at two startups. One was this new thing called Google. I never interviewed there because I got a great offer at the other startup, and I took the bird in the hand. Not to belabor the point, but I would have been set for life if I had made the other choice. Shit happens! I am hopeful Steem will rise again. I’ll report from SteemFest. 😀
That's a terrible story, @jayna. D:
Still, one can always console themselves that other good things in their life wouldn't have happened if you had taken that other path.
I think that kind of rationalization becomes necessary, or else you'd just go insane from constant regret :)
Enjoy Poland! Tell the muckymucks at Steemfest that they need to make the price rise :) Maybe they don't know it's so low....
