Hey Guys
So I'm pretty new to the Steem 'game', and I'm having a hard time figuring out what to say, and what to do in here. I tried to go into the introduceyourself posts, and all I could see were companies introducing themselves, but I'm not a company, or a cooperation, or a brand. I barely function as a person some days, so putting this down on 'paper' is quite a feat for me.
So yeah.. I'm trying to figure out what Steemit can do for me, and what I can do for Steemit in the long run. Steemit looks to be a great blockchain community.
It seems pretty straightforward when you get down to it, but for someone who's never delved into computers more, than how to get on the internet via my chrome browser, it can seem a bit overwhelming, but I'm trying. Slowly but surely I WILL get the hang of this. That's pretty funny to think about, if I tell you guys I was actually working in computer Tech Support for over a year. So the term 'Faking it until you make it' is one I hold dear to my heart :) .. and that just might be what is going to get me through the start of this.
So what is my goal, and what is my mission?
I don't really know, to be honest. And it can be a bit intimidating looking at all these people in here with agendas, and purposes and goals. Maybe I'm just here to write. Write about me and my life. However boring, however exciting it might be from time to time.
So I'm gonna leave you with a picture I took a while back driving across country, and I can't help but return it when I'm feeling a bit 'meh' about stuff and life..
Give me your thoughts on the picture and tell me what you see..
Have a great Sunday, people.

Welcome! I've been reading on steemit for about a month now and I get what you mean. I haven't even done my 'introduceyourself' post because it seems like a commitment. However, I am a content producer and writing is something that I love to do. And as someone who (kinda) writes for a living, my advice to you is really, just be yourself. Write from the bottom of your heart. Express your truth to the world. You might never know.. some could be reading your words and finding inspiration from you.
Cheers and welcome to Steemit!
Hi @maggiehale and welcome. You'll soon have it sussed. Forget the companies introducing themselves and get writing. I'm sure what interests you writ about will interest others. As for the photo its stunning, but it is a tad dark which I thought straight away was reflecting how you felt at this present time. Chin up success waits for you, you just got to want it. Take care @racykacy

Great Post!
Awesome post Maggie!
I myself have not gotten around to make my first post on SteemIt, thinking I needed to understand ALL the ins and outs of the whitepaper, before even engaging.
But your post made me realize, that no matter what the "system" is, honesty and "just doing it" is what will always resonate the strongest with people in a good community, which I agree that SteemIt seems to be.
Just look - out of 28 views, you have 25 votes!
That's an insane view to vote ratio, no matter how "small"...
I'm sure you will do great on this platform, without even realizing how you suddently got there.
So my first contribution to SteemIt will be and upvote for you, and a reminder to myself to not overthink things, but sometimes just taking the leap and learning by doing.
In essence, your post reminded me of this quote:
Thank you for your comment Cryptos17, and I like the quote!.. It's hard sometimes to take the leaps that need taking, but I think If you have enough faith in what you're doing, the skies' the limit.
Just jump!
Hello Maggie and welcome to Steemit. Just write and comment and upvote as you see fit. People have strategies and recommendations, but frankly I just find most of it a big game and prefer not play games.
Nice to see you here, Maggie! What a cozy evening you have! Regards from Denmark :)
I'm actually from DK too ! So nice to see a fellow Dane ;) Have a great evening!
Welcome maggiehale, hope you will have a great time here on steemit!
Here is my first upvote to you and hopefully many more!!
First of all I would like to welcome you to Steemit!
I assure you there are a lot of users on here who are not any kind of celebrity or company. They're just regular people like you and me and that's just positive!
There is this third-party chatroom where you can talk to users alike (keep in mind never to share any of your private keys; especially the master key, to anyone nor any site suspicious).
You can find the chatroom by the domain "Steem.chat" (that's the whole link).
I also recommend you to read through different tutorials and guides people have made about how Steemit works.
For example, @sykochica has made a lot of simple yet relevant guides and gathered them together into a google docs link in her page's header.
As of what to post on Steemit - well, you can post anything at all, really! Your thoughts on some topic, your life, your art of any sort... Just remember not to share anything you'll later regret sharing (personal information), as what's published on the blockchain, never gets removed.
Good luck and stay safe!
Hi Kristves thank you for the welcome, and I will definitely explore some of the chatrooms, when I get more of a hang of things. It's all still very exciting ! :D Have a great day !
Great Intro and welcome! What do I see in the pic ? I see a problem driving across a lake....;-)
