Dude! Yes!! If there's anyone deserving of reaching 70 rep, it's you! And I'm with you, even when I got whitelisted on OCD, I still didn't want to go anywhere near the bid bot so have been plugging away. Still on rep 67 but hoping to get to 70 next year in the honest way! It is possible and the rep system does still mean something to those who never used a bid bot!
Your comments on my posts have inspired me to keep going so I'm grateful to have met you through the Steem network. Always love your well thought out comments and you've said what we've all been thinking. Now hopefully we get a lot more dolphins rising up from minnow and plankton and get this ship sailing as it should!
Ahhh, thanks dude. I appreciate the support, and encouragement. Truth is that I get real bad steem burnout sometimes, and I'm in a bout of it now.
It's comments like yours that get me through the times of creative block. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter how much you put in to steem, as long as it's the best you can at the time 🙂
Roll on the rep 70 Nicky, I'm plugging for ya man!
As to the truth speaking, I think I shoot myself in the foot with it sometimes but that's just me. I'm not gonna change just to lobby support for my blog 😆
You're not the only one. Have had a fair share of that myself but stepping back and assessing where your sources of energy (good and bad) come from is important to do. So focusing on where the good stuff comes from and eliminating where the bad stuff comes from is the way to do it. There's only one of you and if you don't look after yourself, no-one else will hey!
If you can't be yourself on a so-called decentralised platform then where can you be yourself?
And I agree with putting in the best you can when posting to STEEM, it does make a difference and let's hope that we see a bright 2020 (although I'm sure we will, even if it's just down to BTC increasing in value in the interim).
