Tired. Can't sleep. Too many exciting things happening for me to have a quiet mind. Each time my head hits the pillow, all the conversations I've had replay in my mind. I see others grabbing hold of opportunity and being successful and I feel disappointed in my own effort. I'm hard on myself at times. Sometimes I think I'm not hard enough.
The whole environment of Steemit and Steemspeak has changed dramatically over the last few weeks and months. An influx of users has felt like a tidal wave of attention coming into my life. I've got people sending me PM's in Discord asking me to look at their posts. People seeking my advice on how to be successful on Steemit. I'm not sure I know those answers, but I tell them what I can.
My focus has been so much about helping others. Now there are just so many people needing help. I can't even assimilate it all at the moment.
I'm drifting through a twilight between the setting sun of my past life and the dawning of my future life. In this darkening environment I can only see what is directly in front of me. There are too many stumbling around in the same twilight wondering when the dawn will come for them. I can help myself, and I think I will. Perhaps not all of us will come out of this twilight. It is time to plot my own way towards the dawn.
Your last paragraph just gave me the bumps!
Beautiful wording :)
Thank you man!

I'm comforted by that thought, @whatsup. I really didn't know for sure, but that was definitely my aim. I like reading personal stories. I'd like to craft them myself. This one began with just the idea that I needed to put words on a blank screen and eventually something flowed out. That is the discipline I'm seeking to attain.

You are Chaos and Creativity, @battleaxe. ;-)
I will embrace your spirit in my own work and let the chaotic thoughts of my mind turn into creative potential.
I'm encouraged by @billykeed's notion of "..let it be organic". It will grow of its own accord if I nurture it with compassion.

I think you already out of the twilight my friend. You got the wisdom you know. Not sure how I feel about users Private messaging me to watch their posts. Just post in the relevant room and let people decide whether to read, upvote, resteem or whatever. let it be organic you know.

I'm not a fan of groveling and I see way too much of it with the newest accounts. Follow me <--> Follow you BS. Be as organic as you can.

Yea I don't like it. I have never done that. I remember when I first started I just posted, upvoted, commented. I hate grovelling too.

I can already feel what you're talking about and a 1 month minnow. I haven't even branched out much into the chats, yet I feel I'm constantly working the helpdesk. Happy to help. My past life has already come and gone. I honestly can't go back.

I'm not alone? It seems not! I'm glad I wrote this now. It is like a bedazzling kaleidoscope at the moment. I don't want to get so dizzy that I fall off the ride.

I'm essentially doing steemit full time, 7 days a week for 4 weeks. I studied a great deal during this period and have so much more to learn. I see other people that are just ahead of me who took off. They are so involved that I don't know where they find the time. Yourself included. I'm about to make the final leap and enter the "chat zone."
Once you go off property to steemit, you know you're steeming right.
