Introductory post: Finding the purpose to write

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

“I am just a normal girl living my life like everyone else.” That is what I used to tell myself and that was also always the reason why I never saw a reason to post life stories on Facebook, open my Instagram account to the public or write a blog about my thoughts or what I am experiencing. I always questioned if anyone would actually find value in what I could share.

Given this I was actually surprised about the EXCITEMENT I felt when my friend Ming told me about this community who writes and shares article for the beauty of creativity. Suddenly there were so many topics coming to my mind. What was new now was the purpose of creation behind it and maybe even inspire someone with whatever I can share with the world.

And here I am writing my first post (which I again started to postpone…Isn’t it a funny game with this self-esteem?)

So who am I

But to circle back, I am Elisabeth, a German living in Malaysia. I came to Malaysia because I followed my passion for learning and for helping others to grow. Almost two years ago I started to work for this company called Mindvalley which I hardly fully understood before I joined it and moving to Malaysia, a country which was a complete white page for me. I did not had any clue what to expect when I hugged my family goodbye at the airport, ready for the next adventure to come.

What I found here was not a company but a family which is supporting me to believe in myself and even started to express myself here. More to that in future posts 😉

What can you expect here

What I want to write about is my journey of learning I have been going through, my passion for traveling and the energy I put into saving the planet (at least that is my motivation to strive to live more and more without waste). I might even write some posts in german just to reconnect to my mother tongue.

I am looking forward to share myself with you and discover the art of writing! I would love to hear your story and how your Steemit-adventure has been so far!

Lots of love,

Welcome to Steemit! Follow you hope you will follow me! ;)

Hi @romanpetrush! What are you mostly writing about?

I'm really excited to see what you have to write just based on this, so I'll follow you! I am also up for reading your writing in German. I studied German in school but I've fallen out of the habit so it will be nice to get some practice in :)

Oh, wow, thank you for your feedback! Great, you can keep me accountable to also write articles in german, @malloryblythe! I still need to think about what is best, both version in one post or depending on the topic.

If you have a particular article you really like, you could write the original in German and repost with "(English version)" at the end of the title. Could be a great way to increase your following across two different audiences, too! Just an idea.

Great idea! Will test it out.

Hi @wordtreasure ! Great post, i like it, i just upvoted it ! PS: you may like to follow me ... @legsnheels

Wow, that sounds very social of you. I can't wait to hear your stories. Let us know about your move to Malaysia.

cheers 😃

Cool, what are you most interested in? I made a list of what I want to write about and cannot decide where I want to start with.

I'm very interested in your first impressions after the move. And also what might not have worked out so well. I think that is a very courageous step.
I'm also waiting for the article on your company.

I will put that on my list. And definitely there will be posts about my company here because I am very passionate about this workplace. ;-)

Willkommen !:) Magst du Durian? :D

Hi @pepelyuga! Das ist eine gute Frage, die nicht so leicht zu beantworten it. Am Anfang dachte ich immer "Oh nein, dieser Duriangeruch ist die Hölle." Ich dachte es riecht irgendwie nach einer komischen Zwiebelmischung. Dann hab ich es mal probiert und war super irritiert. Ich glaube es gibt keine Frucht mit der man Textur und Geschmack auch nur irgendwie beschreiben kann.
Mittlerweile mag ich den Geruch auf den Märkten und habe schon einige Deserts mit Durian probiert. Aber die Frucht selbst noch nicht wieder. Wenn ich es das nächste Mal probiere werd ich mal darüber schreiben. Es hat sich bestimmt vieles in meiner Geschmackswahrnehmung verändert.
Wie war deine Erfahrung mit Durian?

Ich habe Freunde, die nur für gute Durian nach Malaysien, Borneo, Davao und Co reisen und die sagen mir immer, wenn es mir nicht schmeckt dann hatte ich einfach noch keine gute und ich denke da ist was dran und es gibt ja auch so viele Sorten :D so leicht ist es nicht, in Thailand hatte ich meistens Pech. Ich werde mal zur Duriansaison reisen und freue mich schon darauf mich überzeugen zu lassen hehe
