What's in a name?
This song wont get out of my head now!!!
I guess it really depends on your beliefs, some believe that to know someones true name is to hold power over them. This particular challenge not only wants the what and how of your Steemit name but your real name as well...
How much would you be willing to share with the world?
Myself, a challenge has been set when I was nominated for the Steemit Name Challenge and I am pretty open about who I am so sharing some links to connect the dots is fun for me.
I was nominated by @hitmeasap a few days ago who was nominated by @coolguy123 who was nominated by @c0ff33a all initiated by @felobtc.
The Rules:
- Tell us in a post how you chose the current Steemit username you have. The story behind it.
- Tell us your real name!
- If you could change your current username, which name would you choose and why? If you have a possible usernames list, mention it!
- Use the tag #steemitnamechallenge so that I can track all the posts and check them out
- Nominate 5 people for this challenge
Insideoutlet
Who are you???
My real name is Erin, Insideoutlet is a play on words, over ten years ago I fell very ill and lost my large intestine. I say lost but I not so much lost it as in it was killing me so it had to go. Long story short, I had twelve surgeries over three years and ended up with a stoma and ostomy bag for life. My full story can be found below in the links section.
About year nine I grew some confidence, A nude cruise will do that for a person. and started a blog called InsideOut Ostomy Life as I felt my life been turned Inside Out both figuratively and literally and I was finally ready to talk about it. The aim was to help other people that have had to go through similar things know that a full happy healthy life is possible, even with an ostomy.
While I was and still am super appreciative of all I can do on my Ostomy blog, I found that writing and dealing with so much chronic illness all the time made me question every ache and pain and fear a flare up or remission, so I needed another Outlet. One that let me be more creative without fear of losing followers because I wasn't focusing on a niche.
My hubby @shai-hulud, who was also nominated but is not generally a joiner found Steemit and suggested we give it a try, giving birth to Insideoutlet, a way for me to reconnect with my inner teenage creative writing style and random thoughts. As my hubby will not rise to the challenge I will give you a quick rundown on him too.
Shai-Hulud
Real name is Peter, he is a huge Dune fan wanted @muaddib but most frustratingly it was taken by another user that has never posted, so he chose @shai-hulud instead another character from the book. Fun fact, he has a tattoo of a quote from Dune on his ribcage.
The sleeper must awaken!
We both like our names have become know by them so we are happy to keep them.
