I am humbled, honoured, and inspired to have been selected for this gracious initiative @hitmeasap.
I'm perhaps a bit of a steem anomaly as previous to my experience here I had very little to no knowledge of crypto, dapps, blockchain, coding, dev, blogging/vlogging. I currently don't even own a PC or laptop so to say I'm not technologically adept would be a gross understatement.
I was introduced to steem by my brother in-law here in Malaysia where I reside. He told me a friend of his had a great deal of success here and since I teeter on the fringes of societal acceptance it might be a good place for me to mingle and speak frankly without impositions.
Essentially I was attracted by the notion that I could create whatever I wanted anonymously without any trepidations or limitations i had resigned myself to on other social media outlets. I can't say I'm a wildly revolutionary inclined character as I like to believe that unbiased tolerance and compassion are the cornerstone of my living philosophy. I'm grounded by the realization that everything boils down to intent. My intent is symbiotic relationships.
I came with no expectations or intentions to be a big earner or overnight success story on steam. Admittedly there have been frustrating events along the way and a sense of feeling isolated in a sea of well established steemians that's roles are well defined.
I don't have a concept, image, identity or any particular purpose here which I honestly feel is best for me and the ecosystem. I also firmly believe I represent or even epitomize what the future mass adopters of steem will look like and be seeking.
That is a mobile majority user that is here to be as much or more a content consumer rather than specifically driven to create or develop use cases. Engagement is probably enough for this user at first. Just knowing that even one person out there has the attention span and interest in sharing ideas initially is more galvanizing than monetization and lays a foundation for future earnings potential.
I have benefited greatly from my time here. I'm grateful to have a forum where I'm exposed to a myriad of innovative technologies I'd otherwise be oblivious to. Slowly but surely I'm feeling more of a collective or community oriented vibe thanks to the supportive steemians such as those involved in these minnow projects.This is in direct alignment with what I suppose is my goal of fostering symbiosis that transcends any language,cultural, or geographical barriers.
It would be ideal to be able to inform the community precisely what I bring to the table but like this entire decentralising experiment I'm working on just what that is. I may never figure it out but just as IRL I'm committed to enjoying the ride...

Much appreciated @simplymike the only steemian to see my unfiltered rants. Everyone else has gotten diluted versions, but you my friend got the unabashed purity of my near rage-quit..
Water under the bridge now, and thanks again for your understanding and support 🤗
