Simple Observation started out as your typical meme. The kind of thing you would see plastered over social media. And as the name implies, they were often simple observations that I found funny, presented in a very "minimalist" fashion.
The first Simple Observation meme I made.
I made these ever so often. Sharing them on sites such as Facebook. My friends and acquaintances liked them, so I kept making them. Rather pointless social media fodder. That is until I began to go political with them. After a while, Simple Observation started to look like this:
While I enjoyed making and/or sharing statements and thoughts like this, it wasn't exactly what I wanted to do. Not to mention that there's only so much you can point out in politics before you're looping around to the same old issues (an observation in-and-of itself). Making not-so-senseless memes was surprisingly limiting. A fragment of a much larger thought or understanding. So...I stopped.
I thought about various avenues to take. Do I start making videos? Do I record a podcast? Then, as I was randomly browsing around, I stumbled across Steemit. And it seems to be the solution I was after all along.
