RE: Deep Dives Research Challenge #5 | The Wikileaks Archive Winners Announced (38 STEEM!)
I feel you on the passion part! I've always had this "problem" that when I was forced to work on something in the past that I just didn't like or find boring at a certain point.. it will affect the quality of work immediately!
I love lots of things, and I have a passion for many things too, I am happy that nowadays I can focus on those... because like you said, you can't fake that!
I am not really sure what you mean here: It's not only the high reputation authors that have something to offer and can produce quality content. Everyone has to start somewhere...
Are you aiming at me personally here? Just trying to clear this up, because I'm not quite sure how to take that sentence..
As I have my own very heavy history of a government doing horrible things to us, combined with a psycho ex (father of my 2 oldest) and the missing of those 2, I am not always in the best mood to read articles like this. I've started on Steemit writing for @familyprotection almost daily for quite some time.. Which meant that I was sucked down in my emotions constantly.. reading things about corruption of governments are for me personally, almost always linked to my own story.. And when I get sucked in these stories daily, I can't function anymore..
So a while ago I chose to not read them all, because it can literally bring back my own nightmares.. so when I'm not reading every story (even if I'm interested) it's because of protecting myself ;)
I didn't mean it to come off that way (personal), if in fact it did.
Of course a lot of these topics are dark and/or negative, and if it's going to affect your emotional well being, then yes, it's best to avoid them for the most part:)
I didn't think so thats why I checked with you. Its so early still and I didnt really wake up that nice with construction workere since 5 am next to our building.. maybe I've read it wrong hehe..
I am all about exposing those things, as you may know.. but sometimes still very cautious and ran by some fear too.. which is not the best emotion to guide a person lol..
Sometimes I save posts like the deepdives entries, to read later because they have my interest for sure.. its just bad timing for me sometimes to read them.. I will try to jump to your posts more often and leave a comment though because your posts are good! :)
