Hi Eric.
Been through the same thing as you. Sometimes I go through a feed, and I cannot find a single genuine post from my followers for hours.
Right here: real person, real photos. I like to share photos with personal insights. Personal wisdom, thoughts, and feelings. If you don't like that, you can just scroll through to look at my photos.
I have a collection of bonsai trees I grow and take care of through the seasons. Recently we started a group to support fellow bonsai growers, and we get comments from experts and fellow growers sharing their own original works.
I started a garden, and share my success and failures. Photos of flowers seems to be a big hit here on steemit, and I always post my own original photos.
Sometimes I share short fictional stories with humor and intriguing characters. I am also learning to open up more, and sometimes I share stories from my life, to elaborate on the way I have grown and overcome personal struggles. People really appreciate that they can relate to me, and get to know me better in this way. I try to drop little clues about the type of person I am in all of my posts.
My vision has always been similar to yours on steemit. Give back to the little guys as I grow. I am always supportive of people in my comments trying to succeed, and welcome them to share their posts so I can support them.
Best of all, I almost never resteem or post money-grab contests, and I never participate in drama to shame anyone. Most of the things I post are authentic insights I share to brighten people's day.
