Introduction of an introvert

in introduceyourself •  6 years ago 

We are all here sharing this earth. We are all equally part of it. As individuals we need to be aware of what we are doing and the effects our actions, thoughts and feelings have on this world and what exists in it. Once the awareness is there, the rest will flow ~

An overdue introduction:

Greetings from a Kiwi

Been living in a beautiful place on the West Coast of New Zealand, called Raglan, for a few years. Since being there I've really been able feel the benefits of immersing myself in nature, good people and... Psytrance! I've had so much more energy and motivation to improve myself and my surroundings and really feel like I've found the right path.

Life was good in New Zealand. Everything seemed to have fallen into place but there were a few niggling parts of myself I still needed to work out. Reoccurring 'difficult' trips led me to leave the job and take some time off to really think about what I wanted to do with my life.

Where to go? What to do?.. A series of coincidences led me to book a one way ticket to India. The time was right and I’ve been on the road since then (had my one year of travelling anniversary recently). I feel like I’ve found what I was looking for. The plan was to head home in February but I’m still travelling. Insurance has run out, my bank balance was in the negative but I thought ‘fuck it, I’m here. Lets keep going.’ I cashed out the small amount of crypto I had and the plan is to keep travelling until the next summer starts in New Zealand so I can go home to some warmth.

Loving the Steem concept. Social media has always been a bit daunting for me. Its funny.... I feel like I’m more insecure on the web than I am in real life. Can’t explain why... But from what I’ve seen the Steemit community is a welcoming and non-judgmental one. I want to use this an opportunity to express myself and what I do, to share my insights on life, and to help others to do the same.

2018 – The year of Steemit

Peace!

Hello oscillator! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!

hey man, welcome to steemit, good to find new psyheads on the platform <3 Is the name oscillator being related to synths? ;) do you have a favourite one?

Haha not specifically relating to synths :P It was/ is my DJ name. Only got into it for a few months before I started travelling. Been itching to get back to the decks

You in Romania bro? Planning on going to Solar Seeds this year by any chance?

yeah man In Romania, but not sure I'm going to Solar Seeds, most likely to Waha, Dakini and probably to Ozora in Hungary. Any chance you wanna visit some of these ;) ?

I just got a response back to volunteer at Sonica in Italy so my plan is to head there in July then on to Modem. Havn't heard of Waha, Dakini. I'll check it out

Did Ozora last year. Was epic 👌

nice nice man,have a great summer time!

Hey, I'm Aly, couldn't find your name in the post, so I guess I'll have to call you by your username. Hi Oscillator, welcome to Steemit! You seem like such a zen person :) I met this lady last year that went to India to learn more about meditation and yoga, her vibe is also always so calm and relaxed. Think you'll have pretty interesting posts, am looking forward to it. :)

Hey Aly, my name is Oscar :)

Yeah, India is a healing country. I didn't really realize it fully until I left (which was only a week ago). Now I'll have some time to reflect and hopefully channel my thoughts into some posts :P

Thanks for the words :)

Welcome to Steemit. I've spent some good times making sandcastles at Raglan, and eaten some of the best fish & chips! :)
