You have such a beautiful handle on the English language @stellabelle I think this deserves far higher rewards. (I think that will happen as more advertising dollars come in and steemit grows and matures, but I also know there are some that are looking to leave because rewards are not as high as they once were).
You inspire me, and are the reason I stayed here. People like you who have a lot of wisdom and life experience are oh so valuable not only to steemit, but to all who are willing to listen.
I'm sure I could spend a week picking your brain and listening to the many amazing and difficult things you have endured throughout your life.
It's amazing how a community like the one you described fell victim to some very foreseeable problems. There is no Utopia on this earth that can escape the violence and greed that is inevitable. This is seen with David Karesh and is something that I don't believe is possible to achieve. The best intentions tend to be ruined eventually unless proper precautions are taken place.
It sounds like a quite interesting place to live and I like that races were joined together. I love all races and embrace the differences among us.
I think it would be fun to do some sort of "Steemit Cribs" and see some of the different ways people live. Not to brag about wealth like the MTV counterpart, but to connect on a different level and show some interests people have in a visible tour of their houses.
Always enjoy reading your work @stellabelle :)
Thanks for your nice comments. Things are built and destroyed over and over and over and over again. I like the building phase the best. Maintaining shit takes a lot of energy, and it's the kind of energy I don't have. I'm a starter.
Absolutely. Building and being creative are some of my favorite parts of new projects. Maintaining drains me as well, so I'm glad there are those that enjoy that aspect. It really only works if you have a lot of different skills working together as I'm sure you're more than aware.
I love to see the initiatives you've started. You have a list longer than my arm, which is saying something, because I have some long arms haha.
