Hi everybody, my name is Magda and I am 23 years old. After 2 long, long weeks I FINALLY got accepted on Steemit, after I already forgot I even applied. :D But yea, now when I'm here I would like to shortly introduce myself and explain why exactly am I here. I'll start with five random facts about me, just to give you a clearer picture of who I am:
1. I was born and raised in Croatia. Although I always try to escape it, at the end of the day, it's the only country I call my home. It's cozy, it's kinda small, and it's charming in its own way.
2. I'm a musician and play the piano for the last 17 years.
3. I don't own a cell phone and don't plan to do so in the near future. People call me technophobic, and frankly, I agree. Here's a photo of my phone + the selfie I made with it.
4. I have a degree in humanities and don't work at McDonald's. That's what I call an unexpected turn of events.
5. I love to travel, but for some reason, my wallet keeps standing in my way.
The sad truth is that I still don't understand the mechanism of Steemit quite well, BUT I really do have a clear picture of what I want to do here. I want to write small, informative articles about topics I find interesting in the fields I feel passionate about. It could be anything considering musicology, linguistics, history, art, traveling, politics etc. etc. I think regular writing sessions could be beneficial for me, just to keep my brain working, because god knows I tend to get lazy. Steemit community seems extremely supportive and polite, so I really hope that you guys won't crucify me. Yet. I'll do my best to spread my passion with the world, I promise.
Yours truly,
Magda

Steemit seems wonderful, so I'm willing to be out of character for a while :)
It really is! Do you record music as well as playing piano?
unfortunately no :/ my carrier path took me more to music theory and musicology, so my performative skills are kinda left behind
Maybe Steemit will encourage you! :) Feel free to check out some of my stuff, I have a new EP that I'm really happy about!
it would be a pleasure! :)
You can find it here http://www.jonmagnusson.se/always-a-rebel-ep/
and next week it comes on Spotify
Welcome to Steemit @maddieseal! I know what you mean about keeping a regular routine to keep your brain busy. If I get out of a routine it's easy for me to want to just relax.
In case you haven't already seen Steemit is just one platform of the overall Steem community. If you haven't already seen you can replace many social networks by using Steem based platforms like this:
Replace Reddit for Steemit - www.steemit.com
Replace YouTube for D.tube - d.tube
Replace Twitter for Zappl - www.zappl.com
Replace Instagram for Steepshot - www.steepshot.io
Replace SoundCloud for DSound - www.dsound.audio
Replace Periscope for DLive - www.dlive.io
While each of these sites have a community built around their product offering for the Steem ecosystem, they all still post to the same Steem blockchain. So when you view on Steemit you will see all posts that go to the blockchain while viewing on the independent channels may restrict to just content that was created on their network.
Regardless of what platform you use to interact you still earn rewards based in Steem for participating. It just makes so much more sense than using the centralized platforms of the past. You can even earn rewards just for voting other people’s stuff up!
If you ever have leftover voting power you can use tools like smartsteem which allow you to sell your leftover daily voting power in return for extra SBD. It’s a great way to earn a few extra rewards whenever you’re too busy to vote for good content yourself.
I know I just laid a lot out there but if there's anything I can do to help please just ask! I’m more than happy to share what knowledge I’ve found using the platform.
this is incredibly nice of you, thank you so much!
Anytime! Steemit can be a lot when you're first getting started but it's really all just about being social and helping others.

Welcome to Steem!
thank you, this is so sweet <3
Hi Magda!
You're hilarious! I've got a couple of friends that you definitely remind me of, and so I can't wait to see what you post about... even though you're excited about small informative articles, I hope you do also share your life with us so we can see that humour peek out occasionally.
Steem can be pretty confusing at times, so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask, really happy to help!
Welcome to Steem!
thank you for your sweet words and thank you for offering help, god knows I'll need it sooner or later :D

welcome :)
thank you very much :)
Hi Magda how are you? Welcome on Steemit my friend and really cool intro ! I would like to connect with other cool steemians, artists and musicians. I’m posting music tutorials and other things related to music (and bitcoins:p). I’m the founder of the free music school communicasound. I'm really pleased to meet you. So i give you my vote, follow you and i will be happy to read your next posts in the futur. If you want, you can do the same and follow me. It’s important to have a family in Steemit :) Greetings from Paris. Peace.
I just checked your facebook page and I'm intrigued. I used to work as a music teacher for years, so I'm always happy to stumble across something new and different from my own teaching method and my specific field of music. You got my "follow", I'll keep an eye on your work for sure! :)
Hey i'm glad you have checked my facebook page as well. The concept is simple : i select only the best music tutorials for learning instruments, music theory or music production. I started the project two years ago and i have now 100 000 followers on the different social media who want to learn music theory. It s a HUGE amount of work (especially having every authorization for publishing video from other creators) but i m so glad to help people learning my favorite langage than can cure a bit our sick world :) as a music teacher what instrument did you teach? love from france. Lionel - Cs Founder
I'm first and foremost a music theory teacher, i. e. "solfège" teacher, and a music history teacher. I did private piano lessons as well for years and years, but music theory is the love of my life. It's my "favorite language", if I may steal your words :)
haha you can steal as many words from my weird french-english as you wish :) Wow you are my hero maddie ! Do you have any tutorial online? And you have the best jobs in the world ! I'm so glad to connect with someone like you. My secret will is to convert everyone to the most beautiful religion ever created : music theory. Music theory is always seen as boring and old fashioned when it's the key to be really modern and creative... anyway i try to select the best explained video and the most understandable (does this word exists in english?) for everyone. If you ever want to contribute to communicasound, you can chat to me directly on the facebook page as i manage it :). I have done that for other musicians from steemit. That's pretty useful. I really look forward to hearing more from you. Peace. Lio
