I can't add in a vote the 43 you need, but I will see if I can get you closer on this post to your 40k :)
While rep system is broken and useless for its purpose, I see value in it personally as to how I am progressing myself.
Every time my fingers touch the keyboard and I begin writing .. there’s a sense of vulnerability that comes over me. How am I gonna let the world in today? What part of my world do I want them to be a part of, to show them?
This is a great way to express it!
I feel the same and sometimes, I click post whilst in fear that I shouldn't show so much of myself - but, I do it anyway. Screw it. :D
I suppose you only live once. I figure if there’s anything to know about me it’s probably out there already, so I don’t bother hiding. LOL I never was one of those shadowy mysterious types of people anyhow. Even when I want to go back I just let my emotions out on my sleeve. Obviously not in a rude way but more and a this is who I am kind of way.
Thanks for the support! I am grateful to have so much great support, but it wasn’t always that way. I try to encourage the newbies to put themselves out there and communicate, not just produce posts. I think the best way to gain traction is to get noticed. To get noticed you have to open your mouth, and you have to be truthful to yourself.
You’re right about the reputation. That’s why I don’t make it any kind of a goal. I just like watching it, although it is quite annoying that it’s always right there in my face. Moving at a snails pace. Even slower for you now that you’re closer to the top of the heap! LOL
Thanks again for stopping bye, I appreciate the vote towards my goal 😎
