Winner Of #win10sbd Challenge-4: What Steemit Is to Me?
@silvernova
I am a pioneer, riding upon my trusty steed, exploring the new frontier and trying to find a little spot to call my own. Steemit to me is like stepping into the boots of an early settler. The world is your oyster and it is a brave new land.Steemit represents the free speech of the population, a place to yet be settled and established. Where the land is fertile and the fruit is ready to be picked. The population grows from day to day, new fresh faced explorers arrive to start the rest of their lives. Bewildered and confused they take their first few hesitant steps onto the shores of a land where anything could happen. They are now free to find their own way.Steemit is free from the shackles of censorship, where anybody can speak their mind and may even find an ear to listen. No body really knows the potential of this new community as it is still in its developing years. It is an exciting time to be part of this new frontier, blazing a trail towards the future.
What I am Here For
Steemit to me, is a collection of knowledge, from around the world, based on passion and experience. It is where people can share the things that make them smile. Things that get their brains working, make them angry or just tickles their fancy. It stands for quality over quantity and content matters. It's not just about getting someone to read or watch your content but delivering content that someone likes or gets passionate about. From my limited time here so far, it seems that people are taking the time to create their content, to put some love, effort and pride into the content. I can see from my time here all ready that the underlying philosophy of stimulating content is going to be a hit with a population fed up with the spam, censorship and narcissistic nonsense flooding the other social media services.

Want to Know What Some Other Participants Think About Steemit, Here are Some Excerpts-
I've never once seen a "I am more senior than you" remarks, any arguments, if there is arguments at all, are quickly settled amicably, manifesting the true spirit of "agreeing to disagree".
There is just a sense of togetherness felt in this platform like I've never seen in others. I can really feel the "it's about us" in each and every post, at least for the post I've seen and upvoted.
Like @surfermarly and her adventures along the coastline from Italy to France and Spain. You can see her enthusiasm in showing us the latest place she visited as soon as possible. Not in the strut-her-stuff way, but like how you would show pictures of your vacation to a friend. Or like @papa-pepper and his fatherly advice, from how to calm down a snake to making money to how to appreciate life. It's people like these that makes me feel like I'm a part of their lives as well. Even as a collective.

All right lets see what comes off the top of my dome, homes...

Every time I want to put down the screen...POP!
Another notification just dropped.

I have met other users that are like-minded. I have made friends that are completely different. I have read inspirational posts from financial analysts. I have tasted other cultures, visited other countries, celebrated foreign festivals and danced in the streets of cities that have not even been created yet. All from my kitchen table.
What does Steemit mean to me?
It means that I have a community of like-minded users at my fingertips that are not just around for the retweets and likes.
They are there for ME.
Instead of thinking: "No, I can't do that. I'm not a writer." or "No, I can't do that. I'm not a photographer." I now think: "Well, I should give that a try. If I get lost I can always post a question and SOMEONE will have an answer."

Instead? SteemIt is becoming a new outlet for me already. Somewhere new to express my thoughts and feelings. I've never been much of a blogger, but I've always had an itch for writing, especially about my life experiences or thoughts.
Steemit is such a cool platform for this, I don't feel I'll be censored, I don't feel as though there's a petty atmosphere. I feel like I could pour myself to this community and not worry about the reception, which is something alien to me.
I never thought once "Oh, SteemIt could take on Reddit possibly" until I went to bed last night. I was blown away completely after I woke up and saw that my recent blog on my love of Skateboarding had gotten so many votes and so much positive reception, it was only my third post, that's so cool!.

I like to write stories where characters get into conflicts and battles, and deal with problems. They struggle through them until there is some kind of resolution. I hide behind my characters.
I let them do all of the talking and the shouting as they battle the enemies and deal with the problems in the world.
Now I am trying to get comfortable in this type of platform where I don't have my characters to hide behind. But I have to say, with Steemit and the friendly people herein, I see it is possible. It is different than being in front of friends and family, they already know me.

Currency is possible here at Steemit although that's not the only thing that happens when you join, learning, imagination improvement, more motivation to do what life let's you is also main selling points for this network and growing community.
Creation is number one, and it's what people around the world do all the time, Steemit is another outlet for that!
