WRITER's NOTE: This is the same intro that I used in another site that I just signed up. Technically I just copied it, but it's still me who wrote it. I decided to use it because I guess there's no sense in making another intro when this is exactly what I wanted to say. Otherwise, I'll just sue myself for plagiarising my own work. Hehe
Hi, I go by the name @minimalista.
You'd probably ask, why? Well, that is because I am a minimalist.
I know, I know. It's a little conventional.
I could go by any other fancy usernames like, bubblysnowflake, fluviofileprincess, cheesecakeaddict or some sort of that, but hey, I love being a minimalist, that's why.
And although the word is overused around the net, I guess I am the only "minimalista" here in this platform.
I found Steemit while I was searching for websites where I can write anything. And by anything, I mean ANYTHING.
If you're wondering if it is about minimalism? Well yeah, obviously, but its not about it all the time. Sometimes, I like to write about some personal events, fiction stories, and travel (if my schedule permits). I would like this blog to be a happy and an informative blog with a little touch of drama, because as in denial as I can be, I am an emotional person. The emotional kind where no one will ever know because I am good at hiding it, where the only thing who knows how I feel is my notepad.
See? I told you, the drama is always instant.
I do not know anything about crypto before. I have heard it from friends and some told me about Steemit and Bitlanders, but I was probably not interested so I didn't give it a try.
I did a research about it. I also found out about the reward system where you can earn Steem and SBD from the upvotes you've accumulated from your post and later convert it to dollars (Bit Miles from the "buzz" in Bitlanders). I really didn't expect it, so I guess that's a plus. And oh, the communities, I would like to get involve in those, I think its fun.
You guys probably know everything about this and I didn't. I came here just to write blogs but I was surprised with all this information. I would be glad if someone could teach me how to use this platform properly, but for now, I will stick with writing 'cause that's the reason why I came here first.
I am not a professional when it comes to writing. I had a fair share of grammatical errors and misspelled words over the course of my writing. English is not my first language. I say, I have a lot of room for improvements.
I have never been interested with being a writer when I was a kid. Even until today, I do not consider myself as a writer for I have no proper schooling about it and in most cases I didn't really follow the rules — if there's any. See, I am a Computer Science graduate which has no direct connection in Writing.
I was overly fond of reading articles before and then one day, I just found myself writing my own article, which of course, I did not publish to any blogging sites. I actually forgot about it. I have no memory of the details but I clearly remember the year it was written.
I do not read books, I hate reading books. I have no patience in reading 500-1000 page-long stories. I easily get bored with those. I'd rather watch a movie. I like short stories though.
Previously, I wanted to start a Youtube channel but, being the introverted person that I am, I just stayed in my illusion of being a youtuber. I was having difficulty in speaking in front of the camera. I always, always stutter. Even in person, I do not talk that much. Specially when no one's initiating the talk.
I do not engage in verbal (speaking) conversations too often because of my condition. I don't know if there's a medical term for it or am I just making it up?
The thing is, I cannot explain what I wanted to say.
No, really, that is my condition. I am having a hard time explaining things in words when speaking. Everytime the situation asks me to talk, I'm always having panic attacks and it's very uncomfortable for me to speak, specially when I meet new people.
Writing became my relief, my cure. Everytime that I wanted to say something, I write it. I feel like I can explain myself much better when I write.
People always assume that I was just shy. Maybe that's the impression I was sending them, unaware.
They say that I can overcome it by training myself to talk more. I've honestly tried it before. For a time, I believed them, that maybe, I was just really shy. I've tried it. I really do. But it doesn't seem right. I'm constantly having anxiety whenever I talk more. Then I stopped trying.
I realized, I was okay with being silent. As far as I remember, I did no harm to anyone being like this. I started to embrace it and I loved it. I love being me. Well, I cannot deny that sometimes, people still misunderstood me for being silent. But that's fine. I could care less about that. What's more important to me now is at least I can write.
Disclaimer: I am not mute or something.
I do speak. I even shout sometimes. Let's just say that I am very, very selective to whom I am speaking with. Ironically, I hate small talks. It makes me more uncomfortable. I can be silly around the people I am comfortable with. Yeah, you get the thought. :)
Okay! I think this is a wrap! Maybe I went too far for an intro. I should have written it in another blog. Oh well, this just happened.
