Oh you know what, sometimes I think there needs to be a 'Life' community just for all the posts that don't quite 'fit', right? I definitely know what you mean. I love your 10,000 hours project - I suffer mental health issues like the best of us here on HIVE, so admire your journey and your idea.
You'll definitely get more engagement here than on the dying platform that is S****m, haha. Well, I hope so anyway - you are engaging, and you write beautifully, and you're so personable and lovely! I can see why you've been so well recieved and looks like there has been good support for your posts. In no way was my comment criticism, only feedback or tips - although I can see it's the same thing haha.
inherently wrong with posting here at all. Just wanted to make sure you understood OCD's drive to push people to post in communities, as some just post here in the hope of rewards above all other intentions, which is clearly not your entire modus operandi at all!Nat Med definitely supports #mentalhealthawareness - pretty much anything to do with 'healing' or 'wellness' which can be pretty loose really. I wouldn't have objected to this post being there. But it could also fit as a travel post too, even though you might not see it as travelling. So definitely understand why it's in OCD and there's nothing
Keep up the good work!
omg this brings back memories of the #life tag being overused in the steem days.
Hahaha yeah I'm well aware Steemit was much different than HIVE. I spent a good amount of time there back in the day. When I left due to computers/keybooks disappearing, I don't believe HIVE existed yet. And when I returned, Steemit was all I knew; but something seemed off and I was really excited to discover HIVE; especially because I immediately saw names I recognized from Steemit so it solved that big mystery for me as to where everyone went.
I don't see "criticism" as being a negative thing inherently, although I know many do. And I could use it! It's great to hear from people who have been here much longer than myself and get some advice. I think in the future I will be posting these in Nat Med! Once this COVID thing gets sorted out and my life gets back on track as planned I think some could start to fall under Travel. Like you said, there are certainly posts that don't seem to fall under anything! But, with time, I'll figure out where everything goes :)
And no, not my modus operandi. Again, the votes are nice, obviously, but I'm looking more to engage. Larger communities give me more hope that someone will read it- especially because of how much I write. It's never intentional and at the end I'm always thinking "god damnit I did it again no one's going to want to read this". But people like you keep proving me wrong!
I will be more deliberate as to where I post in the future with these :) This was kind of an impulse post and I just didn't know where was home for it. Seriously, I understand what you're saying! Noted for sure!
And lastly thank you so much for your encouragement! I love being here and am using my unexpected free time to try and find some more connections here. My non-blockchain social media has come down to solely Instagram, which is fun to keep up with my old friends' projects and sports clips/achievements, and things in my local community, but... obviously I can't really write there; which is what I like to do :)
Well, I'm always up for new followers on @wildtrackdreaming on Instagram :P if you are into old Landrovers bhahaaaa!!!! Instagram can be a lot of mindless scrolling - I like chatting and writing too. It's cathartic therapy. Saying that, my short comment can't match your long one - it's nearly lunchtime here and I'm starving.
Hahahah no worries at all! I'm not expecting it, I just ramble. It happens far too often.
I'll give you a follow!
On the note of my rambling I'm sorry for these super long comments haha. It seems my brain is a bit of a loose cannon today
Haha no problem! You're going to be great at engaging on HIVE! have you joined the Engagement League, hosted by @abh12345 ?
You know what! I don't think I have! I've seen it around here on HIVE and I was a part of it on Steemit(sorry, S***m 😂) for awhile, and I guess I had forgotten you had to sign up for it. I'm going to do that now thank you for bringing it to my attention!
