I realize how powerful a single post is in terms of influencing the journey of one #steemit user- because when I was brand new (I am still fairly new) I took those few bits of advice bestowed upon me as law.
What the great folks of @steemit said I should do, I tried to do it!
As most people know by the time they reach the wise age of... 5 ... you simply cannot make everyone happy.
Impossible goals such as “please them all!” Will find you in a bad position. Also, trying to please everyone will only guarantee your failure which is seldom a fun thing. 
I Try To Frequently Remind My Friends and Readers of A Simple Truth About Me: I Am Just Like You.
10 Truths about Lori Brown- some beautiful and some less pleasant, all true.
I am Just Like You Because
1. I want you to like me
2. I want you to be quiet if you don’t like me
That’s just the truth. It doesn’t mean I demand you to silence if you and I disagree, but I would appreciate it if the anti @Lorilikes people would be cool enough to keep it to themselves and take a hike. 🤭🤭🤭
See ? I can’t always be polite. Send hatemail (and love mail) to the address at the end of this post.
3. I make mistakes, daily.
I try to own my mistakes. When I blow it I know it and I try to repair what I break. I genuinely try to live without causing harm to others - and where I have failed I feel sincere and haunting remorse.
4. I am human. pinch Ouch! Yes, human.
5. I sometimes say things I regret- even after carefully considering my words, and you get to witness these fumbles, as my steemit pals. Makes for good gossip, I suppose.
6. I Hide Sometimes Behind Beautiful and Fluffy Things. It’s because I Am Scared Of Your Judgement.
7. I Don’t Want You To Suffer
As silly as it may be ... I care about Humanity. I truly do. I want everyone to eat. I enjoy helping people eat- and sometimes I over feed and leave myself hungry. 
8. I Change My Mind Like I Change My Socks - Often and sometimes, it can be offensive.
9. I Cherish You People, and I Want You To Enjoy Life
So stick with it, with me!
10. I Am Flawed, And That is Perfect.
As Henry Miller would say “Humans are filled with splendid imperfections and that in nothing but marvelous”.
Thank you my friends for all the loyalty and banter.
I need you to stay with me! I write and I write and I write for you.
Tell me something true about you.

LEO! Purrrrrrr
🦁
i literally was about to respond you have to be a leo! I too can relate to the lioness!!!!!!!
I knew there was a fire in you!!! @lorilikes
What just happened here. Pardon my edits.
Lol @ purr..
Oh my gosh when more than one Leo-lioness lady is around the results are magical. We rule! Lol don’t we? 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
Leo's are the most complicated yet loving which can be our downfall most of the time!!!! At least in my experience!
I cannot wait to hear from the Buttfaces 😂
Thank you for this post. I appreciate and relate your honesty....it reminds me to look a bit harder at myself <3
Thanks @karenfoster that was cool of you to say. About the buttfaces. Lol ! Also glad to have reminded you to look again at your reflection. That’s pretty cool.
You rang? I am an open butt... err... book... just tell me what you want to know :)
Yes yes of course Is it Mr @buttface, hope this doesn’t sound to cheeky but, you have an amazing affect on my child with that name.
Is it a nick name or are you a born Buttface?
I come by this naturally, Mama Face named me Butt, short for Buttholomew, may she rest peacefully in the great toilet bowl in the sky.
@karenfoster , did you see? The buttface came to see us. Lol
This just blew my mind....bwhahahaha!!!
i like it.you're such an honest person, you're not ashamed of telling even you're flaws. so here's mine.
1 i like it when people show and tell me they appreciate me
2 i don't like fake people. you know that kind of people? someone who is smiling at you but hate you when you're not around
3 i can't cook :( but im still tryin ma best!
4 i love to write and read books. my favorite author is julia child
5 i love wearing my favorite panjamas when bed weather season. i wash it everyday so i can wear it every night lol!
6 im a bit insecure to those ladies that can eat whatever they want but never get fat.
7 hate it when someone compare me to others.
i guess thats all. sorry, so many to tell. i am just happy :) thank you just followed you
That’s a sweet comment and I adore you. I simply love people who own their own imperfect selves. Good to meet you, @sheshebaylosis. What a darling response.
thank you so much for still liking me even i wear same panjamas every night lol! Good to meet you too @lorilikes. can wait to read your next posts :)
It's funny, but it's easy to forget that lots of other people are like us. They have insecurities, hopes, dreams, etc... Most people are nice enough that if they don't like you, they'll just leave you alone. It bothers me when people harass other people they don't like. You seem like a really nice person. Looking forward to hearing more of what you have to say. Thanks for sharing. :)
Yes I agree, people who think it is fun to pick on others are literally worth shit to the planet. That’s why they act that way though, probably.
I echo the sentiment exactly, back to you. Thanks for saying hi @themanwithnoname :). I hope to see you soon! 🦋
Great work @lorilikes
That's really great post.your every words awesome.And your 10. truth is really acceptable.
thanks for sharing . @lorilikes
Well, at least we have you associated with a schoolgirl outfit ... [amused look]
Let's see. A true thing about me.
I am a sadist, a true connoisseur of schadenfreude. The suffering of others, in the main, fills me with a sinister amusement. Unless the sufferer is me or one of mine and then the results tend to go badly for the cause. Someone who has accepted that the suffering of others that they merely don't care for can be a cause for untrammeled joy is likely to be an unpleasant thing to be exposed on the receiving end of. Little hesitation in a petty quest for vengeance is a horrible thing.
And I really wish I was the three-way love-child of Ambrose Bierce, HL Mencken, and Aleister Crowley. Boom, extra bonus thing you didn't know.
Must I always have to look up definitions for every post? What ever happened to the days of prerequisite provisions for the reader, to ensure the reader is well equippped to understand your message. Oh wow that gives me a great idea! @lextenebris you inspired another good idea. Thank you!! *💋
Yes! The alternative would be me using less challenging vocabulary with the assumption that you would not be able to follow me otherwise. And then you would stop following me. This would be a terrible shame.
Since it is absolutely not in my best interests, I will continue to force you to learn new vocabulary all the time.
If it's any help, just imagine that I'm providing flashcards and you get my tutelage after school.
It helps me.
I promise, I won't do it again!
You said tutelage 😄🤣😂
Oh wait. That’s not a butt joke is it. !$#+!? I had to look it up. Bravo. I looked it up.
My tutelage is seldom a butt joke. It might involve the butt, but it's no joke.
And back to the Greek!
Oooh, please involve the butt!
I'd hate to disappoint anyone!
So glad I read this. What an awesome, honest article. Fabulous to meet you here, @lorilikes. I'm a Gemini, but I'm also part lioness. :)
A pleasure to meet you darling! 🐱 gotta love those honest gals, they are becoming my favorites and quickly! 🦋❤️❤️ Nice to hear from you, my new friend! Xoxox Lori
Honest, down to earth and very sensitive. No masquirading. God loves people like you and HE lifts the humble. Good morning from my time zone.
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters. Well bout my truths umm I've don't like two faced people, I'm frank kinda person so i talk straight many people have problem with that but it's who i'm :p thanks for sharing again, Enjoyed this article as always :D the more i read about you the more i get curious about you hehe :D @lorilikes
🤓I forgot to say thank you for your curiousity. So ... thank you. Keep coming around :)
Hello @lorilikes!
https://steemit.com/butt/@buttface/ten-truths-about-me
@lorilikes, u are not ashamed of tellin everyone your flaws, to me dat's an honest person and i appreciate u for that; Here's mine
Dislike people who talk a lot? Perhaps - but not here! We talk A lot but you love steemians’😜🦋
No not here steemians are my family
I love love them a lot
Well here are my truths. @lorilikes
And also lori i wrote a post about people i admire most on steemit so far. and your one of them ♥ I'm not a good writer but i tried my best.
Steemit Community Experiance & Admiration Of People I Like The Most
Oh wow that’s awesome! I will be checking out your post soon, and thank you so much for your continued reading. I write for precisely this reason. I count on my fingers too.
❤️
Glad you liked it lori ❤️ and seems like we do have few similarities :D @lorilikes
Thank you for being so open Lori! It is a virtue and I hope we can all embrace it.
So what would I tell you about me: I think I should tell you something that may not come across from my normal posts: I have done some things in my life that I regret from the bottom of my heart! Everyday I wish I could go back and change them but I can't and I live with it. Some days are good and some are tough, I suppose like for everyone. I just see some people go through life making all the right choices which makes me question my actions "why did I do that"? "How could I have done that?"
This is just a feeler the rest I will tell you over a cup of coffee as I may need hugs :)
Thanks for this lovely post and it seems you spelled my username wrong @lorilikes. Hahahaha. It's okay. I usually forgive people easily. Sorry, just kidding. I'm not angry. Thanks for giving me an alternate username. 😅😅😅.
You care about people, that's very delightful. There are few peoples who can care about some strangers. Thanks for being with us.
Yeah, now let's talk about something true about me.
The first one I mentioned above, I am very soft hearted and i can forgive people easily and fast even if they make big mistake.
I can sing very well. Not a professional singer. But i can sing better.
I think alot about a person who betrayed me. Coz why that person needs to betray me?
I don't wanna lose my friends. If all of them will go, I will be too alone. And that will be my most horrible moment.
I'm a good sketch artist too. I have drawn so many sketches including Rapunzel.
Sometimes I use to write poems. Yeah, i do poetry. Some of them are in my native language.
Phewww. There are much more.
Happy to share these things with you and other lovely members of steemit.
Your friend : @greek.phoenix 😅😅
Oops I thought you were Greek but it’s geek Woops
Thanks for sharing your list too!
Oh, I got picked by you :D Ok, I will give you three facts about me, which are true.
I think there is of course more, but I will keep the rest for now :)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, you’re pretty cool!
Thanks :) You are yourself cool, providing us all the time with your thoughts and informative things here :)
Hehehe if I read those 10 things you are just like a human :p
This is an old list but I just want to say that you are very cute.
I am new, to this account but not new here. I have no idea what I am doing but I wanted to say hi to you. Don’t know if you will see this.
I would like to invite you to our discord group https://discord.gg/vDPAFqb.
When you are there send me a message if you get lost! (My Discord name is the same as here on Steemit)
Thank you I will check it out! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
So basically what you are saying is you are human, just like the rest of us :)
Indeed, I am. 🦋
But have you ever heard of John Brown? I'd be thrilled to know if you are related.
Not related. There are probably hundreds of Johns and Loris with same last name. Hope you find him! :) hey, at least you have found me now. That is a good thing. Tell me something about you.
You never heard of the famous John Brown? The tanner from the US who struggled against slavery and who had such a big family? My grocer complained about me today that I wasn't visiting often enough any more.
Well, I am picturing Pokohontas for some reason. I don’t recall learning of this John Brown fellow. But I am highly elevated at the moment. Nevada made marijuana legal for recreational use and let’s just say Sunday is a fun day. 💋
Maybe tomorrow it will all flood back into my memory- the historical John. Who knows. Maybe I will google it. 🤓
I'm not Leo but my ascendant may be.
Wait is this a poop joke?
I enjoyed this read. Was really curious to read
