Hi @anomadsoul :) First of all, let me begin with some buttering up to - I absolutely ADORE what you did with the tags! The best!
Okay, I'm exaggerating, but nice going there.
I think this is a very nice initiative...We get very lost among our little bands of friends and lose sight of anything outside our narrow space of view.
How, why, when I blog...or about me :)
Well, at first, I was trying it out, discovering that I actually like to blog :O which came as a shock to me, to be honest. But now, I'm a bit older here and with every post, I'm more aware that I'm leaving an eternal mark on the blockchain, which is - in and of itself - mindblowing.
Why do I blog? I like it, that's the simple truth, I blog because it's fun. Even if only 5 people read my stuff, it's 5 more than would read it without Steemit, so it works for me. I write because it pushes my boundaries and because somehow, knowing that people will read my writing makes me explore corners I didn't know existed before in my head.
So, yeah...
I write because I'm a writer, simple as that.
As for a post I'm proud of, I love them all. What writer doesn't? But I liked this one, as it came from the soul -
