Ever since I walked in, the world of Steemit felt different, almost as though I belonged here. And your words "it's Christmas" make this entire experience festive. I signed up after hearing stories of the thousands of dollars people were making. I comment on stuff that interests me and upvote Steemians I find interesting, but earning some STEEM is definitely at the back of my mind.
The first category I check is "trending" followed by "hot." I do that because the posts in these categories get the most views and I hope my tiny contribution will catch a teeny bit of attention. But there's definitely something about this place that gives me a good feeling. My very first comment was on @darthnava's blog and I was amazed at how the entire Steemit community helped him.
Thank you for your post. It definitely gives me a new perspective on improving my interaction with this wonderful community. I'm here to stay and provide value. :)
Upvoted and followed.
