Good afternoon (here) @erh.germany, đ on a windy Fall day in the high country!
âthat my readership - old and new - has thinned out very much.âWhile I canât recall all of the instances, the one time most recently we engaged a little was on a post written by my dear Bulgarian friend @insight-out. She hasnât written anything for a long time ⌠As you say,
I can relate to this in your response âŚ
âIn a way this is a little frightening, but also fascinating. But it is difficult to find the right balance between distance and closeness here.â
⌠as I never had an online presence, prior to electing to âjump inâ to the Steem blockchain. At the time, to do my small part to support âuser adoptionâ of an investment I had made months earlier.
There is absolutely some fascination for me (like right now!) to be engaging with others all over the world. But ⌠How ârealâ is it? When the likelihood of ever meeting these people is so small? And short of meeting people in âreal life,â what then am I doing? When I had a very full life, with lots of real people in it, before ever electing to âjump inâ here âŚ
I can relate to this as well âŚ
âI would have had to muster far more energy to search for people who would visit my blog, as I did at the beginning of my time. I think a second approach, so committed, seems to me too much effort for a platform that seems to be "dying". But I can also be mistaken.â
⌠although my motivation would be very different this time. I was naĂŻve before, but I could not say that now. So, it is still a bit of a quandry for me, as to what my future involvement is going to be. In some ways, I enjoy writing. More than I thought, since as an engineer, most consider us to be uhhh ⌠âchallengedâ when it comes to written communication âŚ
I will most likely continue to just write as I find the time. To maintain some contact. And to have a record, of sorts, of things that are of interest to me. Even though they may never have âmany eyesâ on them âŚ
Iâll close this response for now saying (broken record, but itâs true âŚ) that I relate to this also âŚ
â⌠I am now turning to other things and a little bit loses the addiction to look in every hour.â
⌠since this has been my experience now for the last 4-5 months. Initially, I was agitated about the âlossâ I was going to suffer of all the supposed momentum I had established up to that point. After months of a lot of hard work, with frankly very little to show for it ⌠The key word for me is âaddiction,â as I am personally very sensitive to it. The last thing I needed in my life was to become addicted to anything.
Well, a bit rambling for me, but still I wanted to get a response back to you promptly. I hope our âjourneysâ will continue to cross paths @erh.germany, from time to time. All the best to you, in your whatever choice of endeavors you make for you and your loved ones.
