You are right @anomadsoul
Let me tell you something: There is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes we take Steemit so seriously that we forget that we have a life outside the computer. If you feel like you are taking you Steemcomittment too far from sane standards, take a few days off.
Some times we get too committed on the steemit blockchain that we forget we have a life outside the steemit blockchain. Break may be needed some times to create a balance.
It's painfull sometimes when a post is written from the heart and don't get the reward expected, this is what makes many abandon steemit for alternatives but we can grow better if we have people like you supporting these posts.
I mean I am committed and I take it very seriously, but I don´t take this a job you know man? That´s the difference, I am having a lot of fun by doing this.
I understand the feeling, when I started I was spending 4-5 hours per post and it got to a few cents but I know that is how it should be, starting is not easy especially because we are competing with thousands of other people doing the very same and wanting the same rewards!
You are right sir
To starting is not easy but with hard work and dedication, It sure becomes fun.
