๐ ๐ ๐ Why I Love Steemit ๐ ๐ ๐
I've been on Steemit for five months now. These five months has been incredible. I've learned stuff about myself and others that I would've never learned if it wasn't for Steemit.
The community
The people of Steemit are so wonderful. I've made friends here, like real connections. I've had one post that got a couple of mean comments, and that was the post about how it feels like to be a girl working in IT. After that post I never mentioned anything related to gender again. Ha ha.ย
There are so many kind, creative and smart people here. It amazes me every day!ย
The writing
I always loved to write. I went to school to become a journalist because of it. But I've never written much for fun, or published my thoughts, dreams and goals. This was something completely new and I got addicted. It felt so good to write and get that instant feedback. Steemit has made me realize how much I actually love writing.
The language skills
I love language and my English has always been fairly good. But after five months of both reading and writing on Steemit, I can tell that my written English has improved.
The rewards
I can't sum up what I love about Steemit without mentioning the fact that when I moved to Australia I paid my first rent with Steemit money. Also, my Steemit rewards allowed me to give the biggest amount I've ever given to charity. That was a great feeling.
The inspiration
I've been so inspired from reading you guys' posts. I've tried some food recipes and I've gone on hikes because someone here inspired me.ย
Knowledge
I suddenly know a lot more about Bitcoin, cryptocurrency in general and blockchain. I even learned about foreign exchange trading. I have learned stuff from fellow Steemit memebers that I think I would not have learned other places. I'm very grateful for that.
There are many more great things about Steemit, but the beach is waiting for me!

Finally, a place where I can be a complete nutcase. Rather than getting arrested, I get paid! A ton of great people as well. Of course, without them, I would not be earning a thing.
Ha ha ha. I agree. Yes, there are so many great people here.
Very interesting. I'm just starting out!
Welcome! Steemit is so much fun!
I love finding people like yourself I haven't followed yet! Fixed just now! :)
Hi Luke! The feeling is mutual! I'm glad you fixed that! Ha ha.
I think I fell in love with Steemit on the first day I was introduced to it. Then I read the white papers and not knowing shit about cryptocurrency, I saw they had a plan for sustainability and that locked the deal for me. I've been a part time blogger since the 90s and beta testing sites for a while. Communities develop. We find "our people" rather quickly and form relationships. But I also love Steemit because it encourages honesty and open mindedness.
It grinds my gears to hear that you've had some "mean comments" - but don't ever let that stop you from writing what you know or love. Screw that! Be you! I just hit the follow button :) Looking forward to more of you milestones!
It was only on that specific post, and I didn't take them personally. The hundreds of nice comments make me forget about that real quick. I love this community too. Thanks for leaving a comment here! :)
