@kafkanarchy84 I absolutely agree with you!
I wanna be a full-time Steemian. A researcher, debater, and content creator. An "idea man." I realized only recently that maybe I do not need to be ashamed for "wasting" hours on end learning new things from books, the internet, and YouTube documentaries. Why should I feel bad about spending hours fully captivated and being sharpened by a heated philosophical debate on Facebook? This is me. This is "what I do."
This shows passion, dedication and enthusiasm - none of which are stressful. I also want to do this full time and that requires a lot of effort, but as long as the efforts made are making you happy then it should feel natural... not strained.
I like the way you think!
