You say about taking some photos, the time to think about your posts...that's the cool thing about wanting to create good, relatable content that aligns with your own interests, you think more. It extends the enjoyment.
I do the same, as I said in another comment here. I think about my posts, topics, content etc. I plan them out when I don't have other more important things to think about, and when I sit down to write often it's just a formality, although I enjoy the process of finding the right words. This means my enjoyment isn't in just seeing a few bucks in rewards, it goes deeper than that and is more fulfilling. So, you're on the right track.
I also liked your comment as below.
...relieve the pressure that sometimes falls on us for not having incredible content. Sometimes we complicate things and forget the true essence of Hive: to be social and grow as a community.
This is really well thought and said. Just be ourselves, those who respond to it positively and engage will know theyre doing it for the right reasons, not a fabrication...which starts relationships off much better and makes sure they're sustainable.
Thanks for your comments, I'm glad you saw this post and took the time to engage with me.
