No baby yet, but I did get to spend the day with my grandsons!
I have to admit, while I was there I was kinda stewing about something. WTF am I doing on Steem? What am I achieving? What am I doing wrong? What am I doing right? How can I do better?
The answers exist, written for all to read and posted on the platform. You know the posts I'm talking about, "Comment always and post often...", "If you do xyz this will happen...". I mean it's a proven method, right? Or is it? How do you weave yourself into this formula? Now that's the $1,000,000 question.
I always hear people talking about showing your "sparkle" and getting out of your comfort zone. Yes, this is good advice if you know what your "sparkle" is. I don't think I've figured mine out yet, at least not how to express it in a way that appeals to the masses.
The one thing about Steem that will always keep me here: I am not alone.
I see many of us experiencing this same hurdle and instead of seeing you quit, you show me awesomeness, eventually.
Playing with FaceRig videos in my ulogs has been fun but I've come to the conclusion that I have no idea what I'm doing. LOL!! Sometime in the future I'll have a use for them but not right now. Most people are busy, trying to get through friends' posts, P.Y.P.T, manual curation, etc. It takes time to sit and listen to a video when honestly we can read a post much faster. I get it.
Then there's the networking aspect. WOW! Some of us are used to running in much smaller circles than others. So again, that takes time and tons of self-affirmation. Eventually, even the introverts build relationships and begin to thrive. I can see it all laid out before me but the path has so many bends and distractions. It's certainly not a "Point A" to "Point B" type of journey.
I can feel something bubbling, (no, it's not gas) so I'll keep exploring. Yes, I almost finished this off with a fart joke but then stopped myself. Should I have let that one out? Or was I right to hold it in?

It's been a long day. Maybe this was the rambling of a mad woman, a Steemian or maybe a mad Steemian. I'll decide tomorrow!
Until next time friends...
