Everyone is searching for Utopia on the web but we keep getting let down.

Great response as usual my friend.
It just feel that it is so sad we cant seem to find a way of getting the balance right.
My last big hope is that Steemit can at least make a step closer to this utopian dream.
A friend once told me that if I wanted to attain happiness I should:
Write the books I want to read
Make the films I want to watch
Paint the paintings I would like to look at
and create the place I want to live
In that spirit we should all try to make Steemit into the platform we all want it to be. The place that is missing on the internet.
I know life can never be perfect, but the way I see it, with Steemit still in beta we have the best possible chance there has ever been to make something that can be a light of hope in the sea of disappointment and despair we have experience at one time or other on the web.

That is actually excellent advice. Too often we sit about just complaining about things instead of actually taking action. Even if you don't succeed your example might inspire someone else to do it.

Exactly and those of us who have seen the ups and downs in other places have not given up on Steemit.

Look at DASH right now - there was a time a while back when people were saying it was dead.

The thing is none of us can foretell the future. All we can do is everything that is in our power to make it happen.

If we succeed then it is fantastic.

If we don't then at least we have tried and we have (hopefully) learned new skills and knowledge that will help us in our future endeavours.

Either way we have gained something and grown.

If we sit around on our arses complaining all day but do nothing about it then we are dependent on other people to control our destinies and it will likely never happen.

I agree with 100% my friend. You put it perfectly.
I for one have not given up on Steemit, not by a long shot.
Whats that old saying I have not heard for a while;
When the going gets tough the tough get going.

Actually my friend I see so many positive things on Steemit that seem to go unnoticed. Perhaps I will write a blog on them.
In the meantime, personally I am loving my time on this platform.
I cant ever remember ever being on a social media platform where I have come in contact with so many fascinating folk.
Cheers @thecryptofiend

i actually DO read the stories i post, lol! of course, im a huge reader anyway, and ive always been big on reading to learn new things, so that may have a lot to do with it....

Good to hear @steemgirl please dont change!
