I think we all could use a little motivation right now. This is me checking in to say I MISS YOU and I want to see your content. It hasn't gone unnoticed. I hope we can continue to have the same valuable community and we can do so if we choose to SHOW UP :)
Much love,
@sarahtops9000
I just finished my first month on Steemit and I do see a lot users chasing the coin. I have never been a writer or blogger so this is all new to me. I work a regular job and have normal "life happens" moments that limit my contributions. But, yes, I want to be here. Keep Calm and Steem On!
Congrats on the milestone :) we actually addressed this in one of my creative writing classes. At what point do we consider ourselves writers? Is it a certain level of success? Some famous authors didn't become famous until years after their deaths. We determined that if you put the work in to write to the best of your ability and put something great out into the world, you are a writer. I work and go to school as well, and after missing out on a week's vacation I felt like I came back to a COMPLETELY different platform and have not felt the same since. I am glad you are here :) thanks for watching. Following you.
Thank you!
Great story!
I would've definitely probably have laughed at the teacher in that situation(but thats just me), haha. What a great comparison to steemit, though! Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you! It was the weirdest thing! Haha didn't appreciate it till many years after. Basically I went half the year without anyone realizing that I had leaks in my flute. Half a year being the last ranked because of a faulty instrument and feeling like a huge loser. After we got it figured out I went from the bottom rank symphonic band to first chair varsity, undefeated the whole year.
That's freakin awesome, haha.
Those who chase shiny thngs will always become distracted...
Having a purpose in anything you do is so important. Really well said and I look forward to more vlogs :D
Thank you! To be honest you've been a marvelous example. Thanks for the encouragement.
Love the message.. and your face! xD (but not in that way)
hahaha I'm a goofball, what can i say... thanks the for support ❤
Thank you for the post. I'm not going anywhere. I love being able to release some thoughts and stories on here and of course meet others who are doing the same. Following.
Glad to hear it :) thanks! Following as well. I can't wait to read your adoption post, that's something that has always meant a lot to me and I'd like to do in the future.
That is awesome to hear while we often hear how much of a blessing we are to them, We often realize they are far more of a blessing to us. It is not easy, but very much worth it.

Great point, and good job on the vlog!
I have not been here that long, but since the HUGE MARKET CRASH!! (yeah right...) There hasn't been as much going on here. Sure, there is still plenty of volume, but unfortunately the quality seems to have dipped. Since I mostly read, I'm not expecting to reel in the big money. I just want to find some intelligent content that seems to be all but gone in the maze of regular social media. Luckily, I followed a few good steemites, so it's been a little easier to sort through than it would have been had I come a couple weeks later. I'm sure once the crypto craze slows down things will level out.
Anyway, I followed bigskykilroy here and your name immediately rung a bell, seeing as how I watched Land Before Time about a thousand times as a kid. I looked at your name post and saw that was where you got it, so I guess I'll be following you all the way to The Great Valley!!
I came in right before, so I got to see how wonderful it was to interact with everyone and see many interesting pieces and feel like it was all ripped out from under me. Hahaha that is so nice thank you :) Following.
Great observation! yea it sucks, a lot of people's emotions go up & down w/ the market so when the market is down so are a lot of our energies and desire to create...
I do understand putting yourself out there and seeming that the rewards just don't match what they were. It can be discouraging. At the same time that's all the more reason for everyone to be a present part of the community to boost morale :) I hope to keep making new connections and contributing to that. This place is a constant source of inspiration for me whether it be reading other's pieces or for my own work/life.
Really great post, Sarah! Had to resteem this one. I think everyone should see this.
Thank you <3 glad someone found it useful
