I’m really sorry to hear you’re going through a similar crisis. I think we all do, because maybe that’s the nature of social media. This happened to me on Facebook, so I came to Steemit. Here, the money side of things underscores it because it changes the way we see the actions of those we encounter and how we measure ourselves. At least that’s my thinking. I will still always love this place more than any other social media alternative. I’d never ‘quit’, so there’s got to be a better way to handle this crisis better. So I’ll try the Ulog and using it as a writing journal. Maybe by achieving on a much loved project, I’ll feel better about my time on Steemit. I do value the genuine connections, but sometimes the weight of many presses hard. I’m too sensitive.
Anyway, I’m always pleased to see you appear on my blog. It’s like you bring some mysticism to my page or something. :) I didn’t even think you remembered me!
You’re one of the blogs I make a point of checking in on every once in a while. I loved the Sankofa contest your resteemed, I was so jealous I could not participate. I wanted to add that to my list of achievements of having written one. But then it means I have to try my best and find the time! Maybe when I have an attitude adjustment, I’d write one for fun. Appreciate you dropping in, it gave me a smile to see you. <3
Oh wow! You just made my day with that reply. Sure I enjoy to drop by your blog. Some times I am just too exhausted to register a mark I was there. And, those were awesome words for "Sankofa." Makes me all the more fulfilled. It's an initiative I think would contribute some value to this chain, and also help us preserve a part of us that's unfortunately getting lost in globalized living. Sure I look forward to when you will be able to participate, and happier even that you read the entries. Aren't they awesome! :)
May that "mystic" powers last longer. Ahaha. Kind regards, my friend <3
That Sankofa contest was a fabulous addition to the chain. It’s those contests that have soul and forces a writer to learn about the different forms of story telling that I look for. I haven’t read an entry, I was too busy being envious that I couldn’t join in on the fun! I’d actually done some research, but realized timing was wrong and I’d not have the time to deliver to a standard I felt was acceptable. But I didn’t know you’re so passionate about it, only that it was very ‘you’. Lol
I’ll certainly read a couple tomorrow evening and make a point of reading a few in each of the future contests. I was pleased to see it looked like it was going to continue! So when I am less emo and more productive, I’ll join in. If the contest has moved on, I’ll write one anyway and dedicate it to you. It’s been on my wanna list ever since I learnt the meaning of the word! <3
Yes, you keep being mystical and doing good on steemit. Similar to @beeyou, you only need to appear once a month and I’m like thrilled!! I just get a little down when I look at my follow list and wonder, do these people even know me? Unfollow! I guess I’m here to be inspired, and I get inspired by learning more about a person’s interest.
Anyway, I hope you get past this crisis. If it ever seems like no one appreciates you, know that I’m still probably stalking your blog for interesting stuff. And yeah, it’s actually the cultural stuff I’m most interested in. ;)
No need to reply further, read and enjoy. I know you’re busy, but thanks for sharing your words. <3
Start becoming familiar with the word "ulog" too

It's high time I wrote my first "ulog." Thanks for the opportunity to express our innermost musings, @surpassinggoogle <3
Ooh, this will be ever so cool. @surpassinggoogle, I love misterakpan’s posts. So I can honestly say, I’m waiting in anticipation for his Ulog. BIG fan of this gentleman’s writing. ❤️
(No need to upvote this post, I would cheer this man for free) I’m still waiting for part 2 of your story.... feet tapping :P
