Hello my digital friends, fellow free human beings of the world! I've anticipated this time to express my appreciation, to thank my followers and also to thank the people I've been following. I’ve already written too much about myself, so now it’s about time to give back. It’s about YOU.
Rather than being one of those who only thank their 1000++ followers, I would also like to thank those people I found worth following. Some I haven’t noticed yet as I’m busy writing away, and I don’t really keep track. Perhaps commenting with your opinion about my posts, topics I write about, issues I’ve raised, etc., maybe I’d be able to check out your profile. If your content interests me, then I’d be happy to follow you back!
For those who have 1000+ followers and are only following very few people, then try to find some more people to follow, geez. There are a lot of new writers out here who might interest you. It’s lonely out there just talking to yourselves!
It has been a wonderful 1 month journey here on steemit, and a life-changing one for me. Days just pass as I write away, and getting things out of my chest has been very helpful. I’ve probably isolated myself too much from the outside world that I might retire again from this civilization. I might go to the north of the island to explore the unexplored, and to meet amazing people. I finally need to work on my startup project about online personalized tours. Something I’ve learned by volunteering in The Galapagos this year and working in Peru last year. It’s tough because of the financial issue, and also because I’m really just on my own. So when you guys upvote my posts, you are actually crowdfunding my personal project. So thanks a lot!
It’s time for me to chase the sunset, bathe in the clear waters, dive into the mysterious deep and swim into the hidden lagoons... To have new experiences, and to find new inspiration for writing....
I might not have a good signal and stable power though, but I will try my best to write and share my experiences with you all. The big question is where am I really at the moment? Don’t worry, I will reveal this in time. I will expose pieces of me as you follow my posts.
These guys have been following me since the beginning so I’m going to feature them first. They are the cool, new writers on the block, the big fishes of steemit! They have been writing consistently, and this should serve as an inspiration to you all. They are what makes steemit an amazing, diverse community to belong to, so I suggest you follow them in their journey!
Featured Followers:
@flipstar - He’s like my best friend here. He is traveling and at the same time taking these challenges to become a better man. Not everyone can do that! He is a real man, and not afraid to write about his feelings and the difficulties he encounters every day. He usually writes about his ‘Wim Hof Journey’, his sports and his travel.
@harrynewman - If you’ve been sitting for a long time in front of your computer working or just writing for steemit, then follow him if you want to be reminded about health, food and taking care of your body. He provides really useful content, and has been really consistent writing for steemit.
@dispatches - He’s a very talented guy, a filmmaker, writer and a traveler. You should see all these amazing mini documentaries he created about his travels in Thailand. Follow him if you want to learn something from his adventures.
@anarchospace - Another hidden gem of steemit! He’s kind of my spiritual guru. He usually writes about things that will inspire you and make you think. You will see through his stories what a beautiful mind he has. So if you want to feel good, inspired or mad at the world, then follow him!
@clintjunior - He’s like the late Elliott Smith. He’s a very talented musician and a fellow traveler. Check out his music videos and be amazed, he has a beautiful singing voice from heaven. I suggest that you follow him, upvote all his entries in the steemit openmic contests, so he can travel again, and spread the love through his music.
I will feature the rest of my followers in the upcoming months! And of course, I would like to thank my mysterious upvoters, curators who help make some of my posts to the middle of the trending page of freedom, and nature subtopics - @bloom, @xaero1. You guys are the best!
I would like to actually invest more in steem power because I would like my upvote to have an impact on your posts somehow, every day I read really nice and well-written articles, and I can feel the hours and effort that have been put writing those. I don't really check out the trending page anymore, as I would prefer to find those people who deserved to be noticed. Sometimes it has becoming like Facebookok here, when people just clap for the same things, resteeming the same thing, in order to get a little bit of $$$. But let's change that people! We'll dominate and rock this community. :)
In Steemit we trust.
My love for you all!
@diabolika
@diabolika is nothing really. She does not have any titles. And if you don't like what she writes, then please don't follow, upvote, comment, resteem!
thank you for the mention I also found some new authors I will be following now thanks to you.
I am very happy we have met here and connected so well despite not really knowing each other...kind of weired....the internet is just a weired place.
You are an amazing writter and I am looking forward to read a lot more from your pen.
I know you hate labels but" steemitfriend" you cant deny ;-)
I really hope and I am pretty certain about it, your writting and steemit will help you make your dreams come true.
@flipstar, yeah it's kinda weird, but we are all real people here anyway lol. Talking to each other despite the distance. Internet is just a tool that keeps us connected, and steemit!
Thanks for the new label, I like the steemitfriend! :)
I will steal @flipstar 's thing and also call you my steemitfriend:)
It's amazing that we can share more of ourselves on the internet, writing to "strangers", than we can to people sitting two feet from us. Love it!
And I appreciate the mention and your incredibly kind words:)
You are an amazing writer and just think, after accomplishing this much in a month, of where you'll be in a year!
Is that the sound of a whale in the distance? haha...
I agree @anarchospace, I actually had the courage to share more about myself here than to people in my real life,
and you should all feel lucky. Thanks to internet and steemit. It's a diverse community here and it makes you feel like traveling.
Haha I don't know, let's see. ;) Plenty of fish in the sea...
Aww thank you so much for the mention Miss P! You are an angel among us. Your page is my favourite place to go on Steemit, because everyday you remind me what I should be doing with my life.. One day I might actually listen to that inner voice!..
You've got so much to share, and you write from the heart. You're a soul warrior. 🌞
Thanks for your kind words @clintjunior. I appreciate you reading my posts.
May you spread the love around the world through your music! :)
Oh my gosh @diabolika I am blushing right now! I came to steemit with the mission of sharing my knowledge to better help others improve their lives... The fact you have noticed this, and feel that what I have been posting is of value. It means a lot <3

You're beautiful:) enjoyed the read by the way!
Awww, that's sweet. Thanks! :)
@diabolika I've updated my profile text using your characterisation. And don't worry about your steem power, you are growing fast and if you keep writing like this you will be a big fish soon.
Ohh thanks! @bloom. I'm pretty embarrassed when I upvote and it didn't worth anything, so yeah. I hope I'd be able to increase my sp in time....
There is also a non-material value in your upvote.
aww thanks for sharing new people to follow. :) Will have to check them out! Glad I found you! Thanks for sharing your journey with us. :) Travel the world and be merry :)
No worries,
you too! :)
hehe I'm checking out the people you admire right now! When I saw you knew @xaero1, I was like this lady has great taste in people. @xaero1 is one of my favorite people on Steemit...A smarty pants!
I'm going to check out the rest. :) Just finished checking out @flipstar's blog about "My Wim Hof Course" hehe interesting stuff.
Yeah @karensuestudios, I didn't know much about @xaero1, and just recently I took notice of the tremendous support he has been giving me. He just sent me a long lecture about bitcoin and crypto trade lol, to educate me. Because I'm a noob with regard to this.
@flipstar is super cool too, and all of my followers I've mentioned this month!
HAHAH yes! @xaero1 (aka my nickname for @xaero1 is 01) loves sharing crypto advice freely. I think that's so awesome. Knowledge is power! I'm a total noob too!
Slowly making my way down your list. You're a cool lady, I was telling @acromott about your account yesterday. I've been getting my acroyoga community to join, and it's been so much fun. We nerd out and talk about new peeps we meet everyday on Steemit. hehe
Haha thanks @karensuesstudios. It's good that you're able to get them to join, while my friends are well, doubters lol.
Haters gonna hate. Lol maybe when they start seeing you make money and friends they might change their mind. I have no doubt you will do well, you have such awesome content! ❤
Glad I found you, as you seem to be a kindred spirit! I just joined Steemit about a week ago, and I'm looking for people to follow...plus just trying to figure this all out. Thanks for the great info and rad posts!
Welcome to steemit! Awww thanks @colorado-girl
Have fun writing!
As always very .. you%) I love reading your posts and I can relate to you a lot%) i love reading your traveling post but mostly I enjoy the ones where you speak about what matters to you like the one "unfucking the world"%)) so true%) For me you have been one of the very first people I met on Steemit and you keep inspiring me a lot%) I really want to see how you "will expose pieces of me as you follow my posts")) But for now a really special present for a special girl%) That is the image which I told I am going to present to you and the one you inspired. I guess it is the perfect timing to celebrate 1st month on Steemit%) I call it "the balance" and it is my wish to you - whenever you travel, whatever happens in your life just keep it inside you%))
PS: I would love to send it to you (if you of course want and have the address where I can send it%)) just let me know on [email protected] and I arrange it%)
@sashagenji this is beautiful, I love it! At the moment, I don't have a permanent address, but someday I can pick it up. If we can meet in person... ;)
Yes I know some steemians preferered the posts that raise awareness or things that matter, or those things I've learned during my journey.
Thanks as always for reading, looking forward to your posts too!
I guess we can%) We are also traveling so who knows if you and I will travel to one place one day and meet%) I will keep it for you, dear%)
Yep, I am finishing 2 posts actually - one is very similar to your idea to highlight people who I met here to celebrate 1-month anniversary%)
Happy diving into new experiences!Love and blessings to you as always%)
Thank you @sashagenji! Keep steeming.
Thanks for paying it back to your followers, there look to be some great reads there! And best of luck on your personal project!
Thanks ! @therovingreader, yeah these guys work hard to write consistently for steemit, and they have really interesting content.
This is a really cool thing to do... share some of your top to-follow... it helps get people who should be out there... more... out there. I will check them out. I upvoted this too... you are welcome for the 0.003 SBD or whatever it is worth.
I appreciate the 0.003 SBD or whatever it is worth! ;) Thanks @allcapsonezero
Yeah, I will do this every month, so everyone can follow each other, or find some more interesting writers to follow. It's nice to be able to support each other!
