Don't even be thinking about leaving. You are good for Steem, even if you argue. Steem needs people to argue. If we don't, we don't make progress.

It's a tough mountain we are climbing, but we are still in the early days. Things will get better, or the platform will disappear. Those are the options, all or nothing. So if those are the options, is there any good reason not to go all in? Stick it out and see?

I'm not saying you should continue to dedicate sixteen hours a day to the platform, no one can maintain that type of output. But don't give it up entirely. Stick around for the fireworks.

yes, in the end I hadn't really finished the post, didn't get round to the part where I describe where I have ended up in these five days of soul-searching

I am not going, I am going to make a new plan, new start.

Thanks ever so much for coming on so quick to throw me that line.

I really appreciate it.

I will try and write the other part next
right now, houndbeast running, for fun and profit.

big hugs mate

I love you spaingaroo. This is one of the more readable posts you've published. Somehow you kept it under 10 pages long. Ok, that's a joke and a jab from a loving friend.

But really, anywhere you go, any society or culture has it's conventions... "When in Rome" as the old saying goes. Flouting those conventions for the sake of artistic intent is admirable, but not a way to make $$$. So you follow in great footsteps of the artists who have ignored convention to be "true to the art", they had nothing and thier children (or in your case doggos) became rich.

There are two kinds of posts I write here:

  1. Posts that are what I came here to write.
  2. Posts that get me $$ and followers.

The #2 category allow me to write more of the posts that I came to write while still make $$, and all the posts I write are true to my heart.

I used to flout all convention because I didn't want to be a conformist... Now I realize that sometimes social conventions are a good way to make friends and to be a friend.

I love you forever!

I did read to the end and you are a very clever man. A lot of rambling on in the post, but I still enjoyed it. I like this in your reply: "I am not going, I am going to make a new plan, new start."

thanks so much @hope777

rambling on is my speciality.

I hope that it's amusing and valuable rambing, but this time, I don't think it was

This is a post that could have been abandoned and we would have all been the better for it.

But I had to post it in the end, or stay stuck.

so there it is.
Thanks for the interest you have shown in my project so far, and I promise you a dog post soon.

lol
really, 'cause I am dying to make one.
It's just a big jobs describing these things, But luckily I can do it in fotos too.

I think it is good that you made the post! you got it out of your system!

not so quick, there's still all the baggage that I didn't get out

lol

There's a lot here that can be said both for and against staying or leaving. I've not even made up my own mind. This is a tool and nothing more. A tool isn't bad or good, but the end to which it's used. As is so clearly apparent the power here is and always will be at the top, just like the real world. It is up to we the users to decide if we participate, and how we use this tool to reach out and make honest contact with humans, some like us and some who are not. What I've said holds true in that no amount of money is worth your health, and the amount here is chump change. Use this platform, don't get used by it.

Hey dingo my friend @overthewait.

I am constantly surprised how precise you can be at putting your finger right on the spot, metaphorically speaking

The Spanish say meter el dedo en la llaga but that's a real hard expression.

But time and time again you say to me the very things I need most to hear.

I have been abusing my tool, well, all my life so far.

I'll have to see if there is anything I can do to make that work a bit better.

I have come to realise the thing about chump change too, but at the same time, what I need is chump change for a lot of people

but not quite to the third world level.

cheers mate, and thank you, you are one of the main reasons I am still here.

I am still here for the people.
That's the plain and simple truth.

I could leave the platform tomorrow. But I would need to take you all with me.

I love this article, and we have spoke on discord about your struggles here on steemit as an artist. I do agree, steemit is for bloggers but you blog well and I hope you sick around

Thanks, I was just saying above that it's the people that have got me to stay here.

And the time you gave me the other day to chat is a big part of the swaying back to the platform.

Because I was out of here.
That day, I was already psychologically gone from here, although my time wasn't up.
And then I reached out about that matter, which I had been stewing over for days, and you listened.
Even more you gave me some of your time, and made me feel like there are people on here that care.
I found several people in a row, who listened to what I had to say, gave me some of their time and reminded me that this is all about the people.

It changed me back...
I am coming up with the new steemit life puzzle solution, and might try and post about it soon, tonight maybe..

I am very likely to run out of time, but look for that post soon anyway.

For the moment I am still here, but it won't be with the same type of approach.

It might be safe to say you have made some pals here on steemit...you have with me anyways :-)

Mi consejo seria que siguieras en Steemit.

Pero de la forma que lo estas empezando a hacer ahora, de una manera mas libre, mas siendo tu mismo , expresando tus ideas y no dejándote tu salud tanto física como mental en ello.

A mi también Steemit me ha decepcionado en muchos aspectos, infinitamente menos que a ti, yo nunca le he puesto las ganas, el tiempo y el corazón que le has puesto tu.

Deja que esta red social sea un minúsculo pedacito de tu vida, pero que no sea tu vida.

Las palabras tienen un poder mágico. Pueden traer la mayor felicidad o la más profunda desesperación; Pueden transferir el conocimiento del maestro al estudiante; las palabras permiten al orador influir en su audiencia y dictar sus decisiones. Las palabras son capaces de despertar las emociones más fuertes e impulsar las acciones de todos los hombres.
Freud

Espero seguir disfrutando de tus post

Aii, amor mío, lo que aguantas tu, no aguanta nadie.

Que sepan por allí que esta persona @menoslobos ha aguantado lo peor (y lo mejor) de mi.

Han sido unos años de luchar y de perderlo casi todo pero no una vez sino un montón de veces seguidos

choque tras choque, y así sigue la cosa

Y no hay ningun razón para pensar que va a cambiar eso pronto.

Ya me conoce tambien y sabe que siempre hay un nuevo plan, para llegar al fin del día de mañana, y despues del pasado.

Día por día luchamos para llegar un día mas con comida en las tripas y calor en los huesos.
La leña ya lo tenemos entrado, así que los peludos felices como perdices, y los perdices aterrorizados por los peludos

Acabo de encontrar esta cita de Camus mientras que buscaba otra.

Pero parece describir el blockchain.

In the next few years the struggle will not be between utopia and reality, but between different utopias, each trying to impose itself on reality ... we can no longer hope to save everything, but ... we can at least try to save lives, so that some kind of future, if perhaps not the ideal one, will remain possible.
ALBERT CAMUS, Between Hell and Reason

Gracias por el apoyo amor mío, que se aprecia mas que se demuestra como regla general.

La gente que parece mas frágil somos las mas fuertes, y tu y yo amor mio, lo somos.

"Hay algunas heridas que jamás sanan. Hay cicatrices que nos hacen quienes somos. Pero sin ellas, no existimos."
Penny Dreadful (Season 3 x 09 The Blessed Dark) - John Logan.

Te apoyo y te apoyare siempre , porque ademas de que te quiero, se que tienes mucho que ofrecer, te mereces esa oportunidad de demostrar todo lo que vales , has luchado y estas luchando mucho para conseguirla y ya va siendo hora de que el viento sople a tu favor.

He sido un hombre afortunado en la vida: nada me resultó fácil. Freud.

Me ha encantado la cita de Camus.

Y yo las dos que has puesto tu, pero en especial la cita de Freud
