RE: On making it to the 100 following mark...

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

So, we're both a bit past our prime and could lose a few pounds? I like middle-age. I didn't really even feel like I was starting to "come into my own" until a couple of years ago - but only as it relates to personal success, emotional stability, and a drop of wisdom. Financial success? Not so much, yet. But, I have hope for myself there - at least I have a slight silver stack and minimal debt, which is doing better than most people I know.

I share my life experiences, difficult though they may have been - because I know there's people like you out there: people who have had their own life experiences. These experiences you have had are different from mine, but I want to hear about yours, I want to learn from yours. I want to welcome you to the SteemIt community and say to you, "You have value; warts & all." :D

Real life happens to everyone - rich and poor, dumb & intelligent, kind or mean, pretty or ugly - and it all has value. I don't judge books by their covers any more. Share your stories with us, whatever they may be.

I just started Steeming two months ago and already have surpassed 900 followers. Who knew that I was all that interesting? I'm sure you'll come along in time. Put a little bit of "skin in the game," right now, if you can - Steem prices are very reasonable. I put in $25, twice - now I'm up over 100 Steem Power. It starts making a difference. I would have wasted that same amount of money watching movies or playing games, if I were still the same old me from a few years ago. This way, at least I might end up with something more to show for my time and money. I figured I had nothing to lose, but I was wrong - I have discovered that I have a lot to gain from my time with the SteemIt community. It's not a "get rich quick" scheme - it's a steady ebb & flow where the turtle will win the race, eventually.

Followed, Upvoted, and Resteemed.

I'll have to check into that buying some steem... as it is i have all of my SBD going into SP. i totally agree with you on the "it's not a get rich quick scheme" i think too many who come here think that it is easy money.... but it's not really about easy money... it's all about the community and those you meet here... thank you for the kind words.
