I chose to be genuine to say hello

in introduceyourself •  6 years ago 

Hello everyone

My name is Johnathan Scheulen and i'm currently 26 years old, and i know these first lines are generic, and saying it makes me feel like i'm in some sort of a casting, but i can't say that there's an original way to do this and claim that noone did it before so i'll just go with the traditional way.

I am from Venezuela but currently i live in Chile, now, i could be bored talking about the kind of situation my contry face which forced me to migrate, and be the target of support messages, of empaty and understanding for those who know what i'm talking about, but i'm not gonna do that, and now that i finish this brief and kind of awkward introduction to myself, you may ask to yourself, what kind of content would be expected from me?. Well you could be witness of what i am passionate about, and that is to write stories, some of them beautiful maybe enogh to evoke on some of you memories from a past long gone, and enjoy little glimps of those experiences and emotions once felt reflected in my words, others, more obscure, trying to transmit that disenchantment that life has, and in that middle ground, between happiness and the sadness we all have, we could find each other, not so different from one another, while we keep on walking on the uncertain future, for those who have a pessimistic side, but even those who doom the world we live have a glimps of hope for a better tomorrow.

And i look at you and i just don't get it, such a beautiful light willing to live in the shadows

Hello scheulenj! 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!
