Building for the Lovely Unexpected - A Steemit Intro by @claireremz

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Hello lovely humans! My name is @Claireremz.

I am a twenty-six year old woman who enjoys musical exploration, cooking, dancing, deep listening, creative #producing and most of all, exploring the rawness and diversity of human connection. I try to face each day with compassion, exuberance and a healthy dose of skepticism.

Lately I have been dedicating more time and energy in exploring the fluidity of reality, the meaning of my existence and of life as we know it. More and more, I feel inclined to take charge of my time on this planet and spend it with other humans who are seeking deeper truths. I have been exploring what #anarchy means to me, and what kind of future I want to create for myself and those I love.

I’ll be honest with you. My life is in upheaval mode. My partner and I are moving out of our apartment in July to pursue separate goals. I’m quitting my job in August. And in September, I’ll be leaving the United States indefinitely. There are no shortcuts in life, but there are risks. And I am willing to take them.

Like a wild seed, I will be releasing myself into the world again.

Why I Am Joining the Steemit Community

I will be using Steemit for the following reasons:

  • I love bringing people together, and I enjoy spaces that foster that. I have the desire to share my thoughts, art and words with supportive, like-minded creatives. This may include photography (food/architecture/nature/portraits), #poetry, confessional non-fiction, #recipes, simple entries & realizations, and video.

  • I want to be a resource for others who are also navigating the newer frontiers of doing human relationships. I am willing to answer the most difficult and uncomfortable questions that arise from the complexity of existing and engaging with other humans. My goal is to help readers form their own sincere and unbiased models for the relationships they choose to pursue going forward in life.

  • I am actively taking steps in learning what it takes to be a freelance creative producer. I am currently producing my first #documentary, titled “Stateless.” I want to further my skills in creative producing and organic marketing strategies, with a focus on transparency and trust. I have a few projects lined up, one taking place in Acapulco, MX, one in Nicaragua, and another in the Philippines!

  • One of my longer-term goals is to create and manage a sustainable, decentralized collective on the land that my family inherited in the Philippines. I dream of bringing together the trustworthy, life-long friends that I am slowly accumulating, so they may co-exist peacefully and creatively, collaborate together, and take care of one another. I plan to use Steemit as a way to connect with humans on a similar trajectory.

  • I want to support my friends, and soon-to-be-friends, who use Steemit as a way of making a living because I believe that value created should be reimbursed. Expressing gratitude to @lily-da-vine, @erikaharris, @kennyskitchen, @catherinebleish - you all are pioneers and I am happy to be here with you!!!!

I am experiencing so much abundance in my life now despite the simultaneous upheaval. Destruction can be beautiful too. I get the opportunity to rebuild my life with new friends, and stronger hands. I hope that you, dear reader, will find that you begin to challenge yourself and your views as I put out more content. And I hope that you will feel inclined to reach out to me if you have any questions, or want further clarification.

Good work taking that first step and joining the Steemit revolution. I noticed your friend @alexlapointe when he first jumped in. I'm a fellow filmmaker, and I want to encourage you to make a statement with your talents and tools. With our art, we will envision the world we wish to see, and make it a reality. Hugs and high-fives to you, sister, and welcome home!

Hi @cabelindsay !! I feel excited to be here. I definitely will be writing a post with my talents and tools, great idea. I feel so supported here on Steemit, it's easy to ward away the feelings of intimidation! So much gratitude for your warm welcome.

Cannot emphasize how positive you are as a person, when you wrote "I am experiencing so much abundance in my life now despite the simultaneous upheaval. Destruction can be beautiful too."

"I get the opportunity to rebuild my life with new friends, and stronger hands" - It'll be all worth it eventually.

Rooting for you!

That's so kind of you! Thank you!!!

Yo Joey! Thanks for bringing the weirdneSS!

Welcome to Steemit!

Much appreciated, Chris :D

Welcome to Steemit @clareremz. I'm excited to see your posts, as this is one of the best intro posts I've seen lately. Not only do many of the issues you mention resonate well with me (anarchy, community, our shared yet distinct experiences of being human) but also the way you present it on here. Can't wait to see more from you!

@stortebeker I appreciate your words and your warm welcome! I am relying on social accountability to keep up with Steemit... it'll be a fun challenge for me, to get back into writing more consistently. Glad to have your support.

Steemit certainly helps you with writing consistently, as it's rewarded instantly. Not just with upvotes, but with the social interaction you will notice... especially if you stop blogging for a week or so, you'll see the difference! But it's always this balance between doing awesome things, and writing about them. Gotta find time for both. Oh, and of course reading other people's posts!

Sounds like you're off to have a few adventures! Have fun and be safe. Welcome to the Steemit community. I hope you enjoy your time with us!

I feel super excited to share my discoveries with folks who understand and appreciate the small things in life :) I appreciate the warm welcome!

Welcome Claire! Looking forward to seeing and hearing more!

I wish every introductory post, was of such quality. Welcome to Steemit!

You're TOO KIND!!!! Thank you <3

Yes! Woo! I feel so confident about this path. Thanks for the encouragement!

Yes @clairemz! What an introduction. So beautifully written. I am happy you're here. Steemit is in for a treat!

As you're leaving the US I was going to ask where you were headed but I guess the answer's Acapulco, Nicaragua and the Philippines (where you hope to end up long-term).
I've been looking forward to Stateless since I first heard about it. I didn't see a link for it, so I'll drop one here for people to see the quality of projects you're involved in. I hope you're already proud of the way this is shaping up:

I don't hope to end up anywhere long-term actually! I want to keep moving around. Thanks for leaving a link-- I'm going to edit my post and include it!

Hello @claireremz, welcome to Steem! :-)

HI @gtg!! Thanks so much!

Welcome @claireremz nice to have you here. Wishing you all the best in your new journey here and in life in general.

Hi! Good to see you on Steemit, Claire!

OH HEY STARR!!! It's so great to see you here, too! Can't wait to browse your feed @lesliestarrohara :)

Welcome......As much as I admire cutting your current rope to the states, and the bold plan you have embarked upon, the first thing that caught my attention was the lovely vision you make in the first picture. I could picture in my mind your veluptuous form in a state of undress as was hinted at with the way the shadows fell across your body. The shadows on the wall from your frame made the picture striking as well.
I thought you might like an honest thought of what my first impression was of your post. If your views and love of life are as exciting as your physical form, I won't be able to take my eyes off of you or your work.

@celsius100 Yo yo. I appreciate the poetry you share, inspired by my intro post. Shadows are what make the light shine. It's true. And I do appreciate your honest thoughts about my portrait. I'm glad you shared that, and I encourage you to follow my work as long as you find my content valuable!

Awesome introduction post Claire :) i look forward to reading more of your posts and watching Stateless when it's released!

Thanks so much @Colinhoward!!! :) You're rad. Stay tuned!

Welcome to Steemit. Good luck with your Asian hippy commune

Why thank you.
