A few months ago I decided to get rid of all of my social media accounts and what a relief that was. Steemit seemed different to the other platforms so I decided to create an account and see where it took me.

I would have never thought that any of my blog content would be able to be shared across the world like it has or even make a few dollars out of it!

I see this platform spreading like wildfire and would like to thank everyone involved in upvoting/re-steeming and sharing of original content.

I'd like to know where all of you Steemians are from??

For more quotes, original poetry & self-development articles please follow @viazenar

Keep on Steeming on :)

Welcome dear friend @viazenar, I hope you enjoy working with us, here you will earn money doing what you like, first of all I want to wish you many success !!!!!!!!!
I am from the southernmost country in the world, I live in a small province called Corrientes in northwest Argentina, a pleasure to have with us

Thank you! What an awesome place to come from. I'd love to visit Argentina one day soon.

Amo el mate! ;) allí también juegan al truco?

Here we have many passions, take mate, play the trick, eat grilled, take fernet with soda cola, play football, here comes Lion Messi, eat dulce de leche, dance to tango and call me, as we are very Passionate, we wait for you

I will be in Argentina in November. Lets see if we meet up ;) I will definitely visit a lot of my friends in Cordoba and Mendoza! Yeah I already got invited to the famous barbecues :) We play a lot of truco down here in Mexico! I love it!

I really like the message in the photo. We should all take time to just enjoy the ride. Life is all about the experience.

Thank you. Well that is it :) it's all about being in the present moment because that's all there ever is! Check out the book The Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle if you haven't already.

Hi @viazenar, welcome, yes this book is an excellent start, i m from France, living in Thailand

Thank you very much :) I would love to visit Thailand one day.

lol - I think you only find her so beautiful as I :-)

Since Steemit, I've almost stopped using FB. I still use it to keep up with my music community. Barely any of them have heeded my advice to join steemit/some gave up on it already. I'm From Canada!

That's the one thing I miss about using Facebook is finding out about gigs or events! Hopefully more musicians will begin promoting their music through Steemit, that would be awesome.

Even beyond that, there are many musicians that I do not know personally or, some that I'm either loosely aquatinted with or just met that are easily contactable through FB. If i need a keyboardist for a last min gig, i can probably contact some1 i've never played with before but know through that platform. Additionally I can put a post out there to my community and get referrals etc. Eventually I do think Steemit will encompass these things.

Same here. Only kept my fb cause of business. But barely check. Steemit way more interesting and to the point. But I guess as I progress here I won't even need fb for anything.

Welcome to steemit @viazenar. You will do great here.

Thank you! :)

Hi. Welcome to Steemit. Stephen

Hey Stephen, thank you!

I'm very glad you're enjoying this platform. I've only been on here for 2 days or less, but I really like it. I live in Poland by the way.

Thank you & welcome!

Portugal, what a wonderful country. I was there last year with my partner. Lisboa is one of my favourite cities!

Cool!!!

Tom thanks you! And Welcome :)

Haha, thank you.

Is this the new "Rick Roll" ?

Hey you are gorgeous!

I got rid of all my social media too. Waste of time, but STEEM is definitely a great use of resources!

I definitely agree with you there! Hopefully more people become aware and make the switch as well.

Until then we can enjoy being in on the ground floor!

Ive been wishing for a social media platform to give facebook a run for its money. I wish i found out about steemit sooner!

We're still in the relatively early days of the platform! People in the future will be saying the same thing as you have just said and then you will be ahead of your time haha.

Hey glad to see you with us :) I am living in Seattle, WA. Whereabouts are you, that wasn't included in your post. STEEM ON!

Awesome, seems like there are a lot of users in the US. I am from Sydney, Australia.

Steemit Is GREAT.. I'm a YouTube video blogger and have recently moved here... and totally agree with you.. welcome :-)

Thanks! Good to hear you are enjoying the platform as well.

I'm here to see/hear all my ex-youtube'guys' who have been defunded. Now we'll all get funded. Anyone know how to buy Steem w/ fiat currency?

I don't think you can buy steem with cash... that is the problem with most alt coins... they still have to come in via BTC..

Hi! I loved reading your short post about leaving the other social media channels. I have multiple accounts but for some reason I always felt they were sucking the life out of me, like some sort of unseen energy vampire! But now I'm trying out Steemit and this community is so much better! You've inspired me to share my photography, artwork, knowledge and opportunities here (along with a few others).
I look forward to seeing your new posts (as a new follower) and as I like to say: Keep Creating Your Magic!
Best wishes, Dan

Haha yes, energy vampires. That is an accurate description. Awesome! Looking forward to your content :) Thank you very much. Best wishes on your journey.

TO THE MOON AND BEYOND

Awesome. I wasn't aware of those other platforms :) thanks for sharing.

Hi beauty! Your content seems to be my style! Excited to have you here. Followed!

Thank you so very much :) I'll check out your posts as well!

Hey, very nice blog. I'm from Belgium ... very small country with 3 national languages (french, dutch and german) :-)) PS: I'll follow you. Feel free to follow me, but only if you want to :-) Take care.

Awesome! Thank you very much. I'll check out your blog :)

Its great to see people from different parts of the world in a close-knit community like this :)

It's great! One of the positive aspects of globalization. I love how communities are able to be established and flourish through a digital world.

Like Minded people usually flock together. That should be a well established law of human behavior haha

i wish you success!

Thank you! As do I for you.

Well done on getting rid of all social media, I've tried many times and failed at every attempt. Beautiful quote, btw! We all too often forget to appreciate the journey and focus more on the goal. At least I know I'm guilty of that. Good to be reminded of trying to slow down a bit and smell the roses ;)

Haha thank you, but it did take me some time. I was what I'll call a "chronic deleter" constantly deleting profiles but always reactivating them. I deleted most of the content on my Facebook page so it couldn't be used again & that helped a lot with not reactivating it again.

That's it! The journey is the best part :)

C eh N eh D eh. I still use social media though. I like to try to get my posts out to a larger audience. Doesn't always work...

Steemit is definitely different in a much better way!
I believe a lot of people will be making the move as well. Steem on! & I follow you now :)

Most definitely! And thank you.

New follower here - I'm from the Buffalo, NY area! I agree that this platform is a refreshing change from the typical social media sites.

Hello & welcome :)

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

Sydney, Australia. I only joined a few days ago and I totally agree with you. This platform is spreading like wildlife! Can't wait for SteemTube and the ability to share videos. I reckon Steem is the killer app that's gonna destroy things like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube! :)

Awesome, welcome! I'm from Syd Australia too :)

Cool! What a small world lol

Great that you ditched the other social media platforms. I am not ready to do that yet.
I live in the Netherlands, Haarlem to be precise. That's a city near Amsterdam.

All in due time :) excellent. Netherlands looks like an amazing place to visit.

If you ever make a trip to Europe, I think you should definitely visit Holland.

Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA!

Another place on the to visit list!

You def. should it's wonderful here!

I have a big fb reach. Tried convincing them to join steemit, but sadly they think it's bs. Tried explaining but you can't describe colors to a blind man.

That is it! I'm sure when Steemit becomes as successful, if not more successful than Facebook people will be kicking themselves.

I made a really good post why steemit will surpass fb. Check it out, if you'd like.

Nice! Would you be able to send the link and I can read and upvote?

Glad to have you here @viazenar upvoted - following you. I am based out of Seattle. Looking forward to reading your posts.

Awesome. Thank you! I have plenty of content already posted if you wanted to check it out.

I really liked the post you made called "we are complete".

Thank you :) Looking forward to sharing more posts.

Love to check it out.

Hi @viazenar , i am newbie here even so i am reducing the use o FB and Insta. Here is much more fun!

I am from Caracas, Venezuela.

Hi Viazenar

I'm from the UK!!

Hello from Australia!

Welcome fellow Aussie - I just joined yesterday, and am still trying to get the idea of the platform. I have days where I do not touch fB - but not able to cut it out just yet!!! Now living in France with my family - best wishes to all Steemians!!!

Hello & welcome! Sounds like your Steemit journey is just beginning. Best wishes.

Welcome to the big small town of steemit @viazenar!

Haha, thank you. I like your description of Steemit being a big small town. I would have to agree!

Welcome to steemit ! I come from the chocolate land, Belgium. Hope you will like this great community. Have a very nice day !

Haha, nice one. I am a big fan of chocolate. Awesome username by the way!

thank you ,-)

Beautiful message by a beautiful girl :p
Welcome to the community. You'll definately enjoy here.
Followed you to see what you'll post in the future. Steem on!

Good to have you on board.

Thank you! I'm glad to be here.

Love the pic and a spot on quote to boot. Follow me on here everyone, I am new and still learning

Since I started Steemit (which it has only been a couple days) I have been on social media a lot less. Facebook just has a lot of ads lately and nothing of importance. Beautiful quote and often times we don't take time to appreciate the journey. We rush through life and "don't take time to stop and smell the flowers".

Wonderful :) welcome to the community. I'm sure your Facebook use will steadily decrease!

Haha, that's right!

Welcome to Steemit! It's refreshing to see someone willing to pull the plug on social media... it's certainly not something easily done in today's world! Hope you enjoy the site and best of luck on publishing great articles!

-Indianapolis, IN

Thank you very much! Yes that's definitely true. When I tell people I only have a Steemit account they look at me quite confused haha.

followed you.

Thank you very much!

Great intro, glad we have another true beauty on steemit - enjoy it!

Welcome to Steemit, @viazenar

Thank you :) @twinner

Sweet photo, your not really speaks to me. Thanks for sharing.

Welcome to steemit @viazenar. You will do great here

Thank you @gringalicious

In a way, this platform, for what it offers and what it means and by that i mean a platform, not a website, nor for social and entertainment purposes such as FB, Youtube, Twitter etc, but as a platform to integrate all those in one, and also providing users with ideas which can go beyond profitting, but also to find intelligent topics, have debates and to enjoy.
I think people are just starting to realise that Steemit is becoming more than people thought it would be in the beginning.
Good choice of words and good luck !

You're spot on there. It has more of an online community feel to it, where users are able to freely interact without a lot of the garbage other platforms have.
Thank you!

Exactly !
I wouldn't say garbage, but the way it's been used and the purpose of it has shifted to being a mass tool for dumbing down of the future generations, even though the older generations have been impacted by it too.
Actually you're right, it is garbage ..
Anytime !

Welcom @viazenar, upvote and follow you, me too oke...!

Nice :)
