Hello everyone. It’s a bit strange for me to introduce myself and talk about myself, especially because I’m in a deep process of self-discovery and self understanding, what I really love and make me happy. However, someone encouraged me to try it, and after many doubts ... Here I am.
My name is Cristal. People often say that it’s a beautiful name, and my mom chose it because she thought I was the most transparent and pure thing of her life. I like my name too, because I think it has to do with a lot of my personality. My first surname is “Mayo”, like the fifth month of the year, and someone told me it comes from Sicily. However, I really like my second surname, and it is with which I identify myself more (as if it were the family shield, GOT style). That is why my account is called Miss Cardozo. I’m 26 years old, and I am from Venezuela. I was born in a very rainy Saturday, on Augusth 8th, 1992.
I have two older brothers, called Mario and Manuel, who have always been a great source of inspiration for me.
Basically, I consider myself a calm, cheerful and optimistic person. I like to be in a good mood, to share and try to bring good things to the lives of others. I'm not the most outgoing person out there, but I believe above all things in friendship as something sacred and elevated, and that this symbiosis or those links that can be established with some people, can change our way of seeing life completely, and help us in our particular process of transformation. I believe in loyalty and honesty, as essential principles of a human being.
I also think that our spirit is evolving in line with our decision to allow ourselves to learn, and to take from everything we live, what we need to mature and grow.
At the beginning, I said that I am in a process of self-discovery, because I am a teacher, it is what I studied and what I have dedicated myself to. However, I have realized in recent times that something is missing...something that causes that "turn me on" in my life. That used to be teaching, but at some point it I have not felt so full doing it. I want to think that it is because of certain circumstances, and not because it is not part of my vocation, cause teaching has given me great lessons, extremely valuable for my life.
The truth is that for a while, let's say that a couple of years ago, I have been exploring what things interest me. I love to swim, I love Arabic dance, and I discovered that I like so to cook (while listening to Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra).
But in addition, I have always been a person who observes and listens to what is happening around me, trying to understand it and granting a meaning to what happens, not pigeon-holing the experiences in the mystical, nor in the completely rational, because human beings we are too complex and diverse in our behavior and thinking, but as a way of getting closer, more precisely, to that heterogeneity of the human, about feelings, thoughts and worldviews.
When I was a child, I had a friend named Simon, a man who was a chronicler of the town where we lived, and in a great book he had compiled stories and stories about the people of the town, athletes, artists, or people who contributed in some way to the historical and cultural heritage of that place. Also, being small, my mother put in my hands the book One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabo (Gabriel García Márquez), which until now is still my favorite book, and has always filled my mind with very vivid images, questions and delicious moments of fascination. how the lives of the characters converged and moved away, in the midst of curious, tragic, enigmatic and passionate events, which were giving revealing their personalities and motivations.
Since then, the concern about everyday stories has arisen in me, and how family and personal stories converge, being perfectly linked to each other, since much of what we are has to do with what we live in our home, what we learned or unlearned, and how all that baggage, becomes our brush to draw, and let out all that we have inside. Also, I had the opportunity to live in different places (residences and apartments) and that has allowed me to meet many people, and that has allowed me to expand my experiences, about coexistence, forms of behavior, tastes, manias, fears, joys and uncertainties.
I would like to capture in my stories, of fictional characters, but with true experiences, about what can really happen and feel at different times and circumstances of life, in the family, in the workplace, sentimentally, in friendship, among other scenarios.
I will dare to write both in prose and in verse, since I would like to explore both resources. With nothing more to add, and infinitely grateful for the support and reception that my stories may have.

hello you are welcome to steem
Welcome ~ Bienvenida!🌹
Welcome to Steemit! You have taken the first step in achieving many goals here at the crossroads of cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and social media. Consistent engagement is needed to progress and grow your following and influence. I am currently working on a weekly post to curate new users and providing them an introduction to the ecosystem. I have selected your post as one I will feature in an upcoming post! I explain this initiative on one of my previous post.
There are a number of great content creators on the platform to help you on your journey. I have recently ran into a great post by @roleerob that is great to get off to a great start here on the ecosystem. As I continue to expand this initiative, I continue to find great content and guides for new users such as this post from @finnian who not only includes a great step-by-step process of registering for #Steemit but also provides great security and engagement tips as well to help you on your journey. Another great user creating content for new Steemians is @paulag who is creating community backed video series on learning to navigate STEEM.
Keep your eyes out for these tips and references to help you on your journey to becoming a minnow! It is also a great idea to follow some of the great projects being built on the #STEEM blockchain. You can see these projects here. Some of these projects provide you the ability to interact and engage within the community and have the potential to provide rewards for your engagement. For example, @actifit is a fitness app that tracks your daily activity which you can post to the blockchain and earn rewards for your participation. Another interesting project is @steemmonsters which is a digital trading card game that enables you to collect and battle with the community all within the #STEEM ecosystem.
Lastly, a new initiative has just been launched by one of our top witnesses @gtg to support new users that become very active and need additional bandwidth to remain actively engaged in an effort to build enough Steem Power to grow your influence and interaction in the ecosystem. I would highly encourage you to visit his post for further instructions. I wish you the best in your future endeavors!
