Initiating recovery mode

in diary •  6 years ago 

I was absent for a while and I should have posted every day if only to milk some votes. Now I'm feeling the price of stagnation. I'm spending more than I earn (well, I don't earn, so any expenditure is beyond my level of income). I had to spend around 90 SBD today for various expenses. I was counting on Steem to recover this when I started these expenses, but the prices of the services I contracted grow and the rewards from Steem were low and stopped when I stopped participating.

I don't know what I could have done. I have to spend time building things that grow big. I spent a year here and my revenue started high and ended up much lower. It seems to me like here, at least, I am not growing bigger but smaller. I want to find a way to reverse this, and if not here, somewhere else. But I don't know what to do.

Meanwhile, however, I won't stop posting here. I need to recover from the big wound that my absence brought and participating is the only way of slowing down the current fall until I find something else to grab onto, either to pad the ground before I hit it, to slow the fall, to stop it or to start climbing up. If I don't do this, I will see a day when I have nothing. I need to build good habits, and this seems to be one of them right now.

I was thinking of what to post about, thought about dragons, shadows, blood, trees, landscapes, fantasy, spaceships, mist and red eyes. But it's not easy to choose a topic that won't feel out of place. I know that I have built an aesthetic quality and I must stick to it lest I turn my blog into the house of the unmentionable.

Besides, look at this:

That's on my Xopus blog. Is there anything more terrible than having your home destroyed by a natural disaster? This natural disaster is @ChronoCrypto's unfortunate absence. Sad, so terribly sad. Death. I didn't owe anything, I think? Did his server die? Will my blog perish just like that? I'm very sad about this; also I can't get Steempress votes if I don't have this service. I need to get another hosting service.

To be honest, I had hope, but it is fading. I need to stay strong and live up to the optimism I preach, but it's hard when everything is so hard and the rewards are so low. I'm also sleepy. I go to sleep at 8 or 9 pm and wake up at 4 am. It's 7 pm now.

I was also looking for an easy job somewhere. I need to earn at least $300 a month in order not to be the burden which I currently am, but I'm also filled with fatigue and depression, so I can't work in something intense. I need to think about this. I always say that I need to think about it, but I don't even know where to start. Life is hard. Time to get ready to sleep. Bye. <3

Do you still look for a new hoster for your wordpress blog?

(:

You are such a great writer, just try to write your finest work, now you can get some inspiration from this time you're currently living, so just convey your feelings through your writing! :)

:))) Thank you for your compliments. I wasn't sure about this text, but you have reassured me. Sadly, frustration is not the best fuel for creativity. I'm also paralyzed by my fear of exposure sometimes.

Am sorry you're going through all this. It's true life is hard but don't get your hopes up.

I sent a little gift. I know it's not a lot but hope it'll make you smile 😊❤️

Aww, thank you so much! I don't know what to say. Just, thank you. :)

You're welcome 😘

How are you?

I'm alright! Starting to collaborate with a friend who is trying to start a business. I'm the brains and she's the hands. It's so tiring, though. I'm not sure I can keep up with her rhythm!

do you have a backup of the data in that wordpress blog? I's easy to restore that somewhere else, which I could help with if you have a backup.

Nope. The posts were all cross-posted to Steem, so it's kind of a text backup, but I would have to manually and individually restore each post, and re-configure everything. It would take a while, to say the least.

have a look at this https://steemit.com/steemdev/@holger80/store-all-posts-from-an-author-in-markdown-files which might save you much of the manual effort.

Woww nice! :D I'll try to find a use for that.

I was using Steempress just for the votes, though. If it looked pretty, that was an unavoidable side effect. 😍

Welcome back to you.After a long day you have back that great.How are you?

Thank you :) It's good to be back, and it's good to have you here still.

Quizás necesitas un descanso. Sé que suena estúpido, porque en medio de la desesperación uno solo piensa en trabajar, trabajar y trabajar más para conseguir de cualquier forma lo que se necesita, haciendo que nos desgatemos y no podamos pensar bien, pero eso solo es reaccionar, de la misma forma que cuando uno está cómodo se olvida por completo de trabajar y se relaja. En ambos casos se está haciendo lo mismo, se está reaccionando a las circunstancias, y eso es lo que hace que uno suba y baje con la marea, como con los precios del mercado.

A veces un descanso sirve para planear, para pensar en lo que se debe hacer, y luego enfocarse únicamente en hacer eso de forma perseverante. El estrés desaparece porque eres consciente de que estás haciendo todo lo que puedes, y de cierta forma, eso nos hace más capaces.

Espero que no te moleste que haya comentado en español.

No me molesta para nada que comentes en español! Es nuestro idioma e igual es para mí lo que dices.

Aprecio tu mensaje y es cierto que tengo que sentarme a pensar a veces, pero tengo también mucho tiempo inactiva sin hacer mucho. A eso me refería al principio cuando dije

No hago nada y no trabajo, no gano, y no entra dinero. Ahora por descansar demasiado ando endeudada porque tuve que gastar y no tengo ingresos. Si sigo descansando me voy a quedar sin nada.

Hi, thanks for the upvote on my video :-)

Hi, I have never upvoted any of your posts. :-) Welcome to my comment section anyway. :-D

Hi, and er, yes you have as thats how I found you. You must have a bot or a stream running then as if you go to my last post (Clifton Bridge Base Jump) and look at the 60 votes, your name is on there. Cheers

I sell my vote to Smartmarket and you bought a vote from Smartmarket, so you got my vote through there. <3

Extrañaba leerte cada mañana.. comprendo lo difícil que es necesitar 90sbd diarios.

Posted using Partiko Android

Jajaja no necesito 90 sbd diarios, necesito quizás unos 150 al mes. :)
