RE: What Am I?

You pose a very interesting question; one that I get'nailed' with all the time. Let me explain: I was a high school teacher for years (clearly defined title but it comes with a lot of preconceptions...some true, some false). Then I met the man of my dreams, walked away from my job/pension and opened a restaurant. Crazy, some said, but still very definable. He then got sick(cancer), we sold everything, and moved from Vancouver to Mexico, where we now reside. Thru a friend, I found steemit in December and it is now my "job". When people ask me what I do, I give varying answers. Some days, it is simply "whatever I want"; other days, I try my best to explain crypto and steemit blogger/commenter:) Throw in a language barrier, and it then becomes simply "retired". I always find it interesting that we feel the need to define ourselves, and just simply can't "be". One thing I do know for sure is that when I'm at social gatherings, I no longer begin my small talk with, "what do you do?" :) Cheers!

It's funny isn't it, because the only time it really matters, is when we're at social situations, and for the odd form. The rest of the time, I think we can just be.

I think history will define us, at some point in the future a word for what we do will be invented and that's what we'll be in the eyes of the public I guess :-)

Yes I think you are correct...wouldn't it be really cool to be the one who comes up with the name??:) Perhaps that's another contest!
Thank you for the recognition of my post; I really do appreciate it! Cheers:)
