An Introduction

So here we are at the beginning.

It is rare that somebody twice your age informs you about a new and upcoming social network, but that's exactly what happened to me over the weekend when my Dad told me about Steemit. My immediate reaction was an equal mixture of excitement and curiosity, due to the fact I've been yearning for something new, something fresh where ideas and information can be shared. Facebook, which I'm sure most of us have been a part of in the digital age, has become a corporate, self policed, image conscious platform. Nobody wants to share interesting stories, ideas or creativity on Facebook, it is now just merely a platform where people can compete for social position by posting a hugely positively biased version of their lives.

I hope to use this platform to express my creativity, mostly in the form of writing, but also to appreciate the huge variety of people in this world. I find everybody fascinating. I want to read people's stories and learn about their lives.

Let's see where this goes.
