I have a confession to make. I'm a little bit selfish. I have recently started commenting to posts and making up little rhymes to add to their story or post.
I do it because I feel a connection to the poster or the subject matter. I love it when they like my little gift to them. It makes me happy when they appreciate my little poems.
I find myself reading their stories and an idea for a poem comes to me. I usually do it on the spot. The poems are not world class, but I enjoy rhyming and matching their story with my poem.
I have found renewed joy in writing simple little poems. Joy for those I write for, hopefully. It is the little things in life that make life enjoyable.
This is what steemit has given me. A way to make someone's life a little bit brighter. Not by money, but by giving. Putting a little bit of myself into their life. By doing that, we make each other happy. I think that is what life should be all about.
I love it!
This world certainly needs more avenues of happiness :) It's awesome you have found a way in which to bring that - what a treasure <3
Good luck in the contest :)
(BTW ~ bring joy and happiness is not selfish at all!)
