RE: Reflections - Dancing around Honesty, Vulnerability, and Balance...
We change over time here at Steemit. At first, I tried to hide my identity and the details of my life in every possible way. Why? It's a mystery even to me. I am quite an average person and I did not think that my life could be interesting to someone. At that time, I wrote mostly short posts and had a lot of time to comment.
Eventually, I opened up completely and began to write openly about myself. At the same time, I took on many different responsibilities and the time for commenting became much less. But this does not mean that I have become less fond of communicating with people 🙂
Honesty... Honesty can be felt even through the text. If you write from the heart, your readership will grow rapidly. But you know it perfectly well 😁
Balance between real life and Steemit responsibilities. Well, it's complicated. For me, Steemit is a favorite hobby, so real life always takes precedence. But the status of a favorite hobby allows Steemit to take most of my free time 😄
Thank you so much for gracing my post today. I understand that you have many responsibilities (even if they stem from a healthy hobby), and now that I'm in your shoes a bit, I see how adept you are at balancing and managing your time.
I like your approach here on Steemit. However consider changing your profile picture now and the. I would very much like that. Lol. We want to see more of you!!! Just kidding
I think a true author is always true to their writings. Else their words will lose their worth. However I still feel like an imposter sometimes... I want to open up more, but, there is some kind of reluctance in me. Maybe with time, it will go away. Or it may never!
Yes, this picture is really out of date. On the other hand, everyone is used to it 😁. Maybe you are right and I should think about changing the picture. 🤔
