I remember when I was brand new...back before there even was reputation, or a feed, or a profile section of the blog...oh so many cool things we've picked up along the way.
I think then reputation first came out I was a 6...that's right...a 6! At first rep went fro -10 to 10...then changed over to the current -25 to 75 range, which left me about a 60. Now as many of you know..each level you go up, the more "experience" (or reputation) points you need to achieve the next one.
Much like you stop some of us stop counting birthdays at the age or 25 or 29...I rather stopped counting my rep around level 65. Nothing wrong with it..but it just moved so slow, it was best to just go about my thing, keeping it as a byproduct.
But I have to admit, recently after being level 69 for what felt like an eternity, I've been staring at the meter over on Steem.Cool. A little closer each day...until finally...70!!
Now, I do know that it's not the biggest thing in the world to reach this level (unless this was World of Warcraft during the Burning Crusade Expansion, lol.) But ALL of the other people that have reached this mark are phenominal Steemians as well as AMAZING PEOPLE such as @stellabelle, @fyrstikken, @barrydutton, @ace108, @virtualgrowth, @NoNamesLeftToUse ...the list can go on. (I don't want to ping that many people.)
But I had to give a little happy rant on the 'feelz!' Happy Dance!
Now back to not looking at rep for an even longer time!! Rofl!
Thank you everybody for the fantastic support over this last year! What a ride!!

Congrats on the 70! In a small way I understand what you mean, the first 25 rep (to 50) seemed pretty easy but it's literally slowed to a crawl now going from 50 to almost 52. I think I'm about to the point where I'm not going to care anymore either. I think I saw a 77 around here a week ago or so 😳 sheesh I can't imagine how long that took!

Oh yea..after 50 it seems to take forever! I can't imagine the wait from here. Lol.
I probably will just not look at it again for a loooong time. :P

Hitting 50 is a really big deal too! That's the subtle level where you're no longer seen (rep wise) as a newbie!! :D

@sykochica, congratulations. That's a great distinction you have achieved and being in the 70s is like " Hurray !!! I have arrived .." but true that. All the hard work, all the mind work, all the time that you put in finally took you where you have reached now. I reckon it was a tough but sweet rewarding journey you had there. I am happy for you. God bless.

70 is nothing to sneeze at! I feel like where I'm at right now is already kind of slow and I'm only at 63! I can only imagine what 69 felt like. So..... When are you gonna make it to 80?!?

I remember when rep first came out and 70 was so far off I didn't even think about. Instead I just attributed it to the Icons we have around here. It's an honor to feel like I can be among such an elite group now! :D
Definitely keep at it! I really didn't know anything about cypto, blogging and was rather anti-social...but now I don't shutup and almost sound like I know what I'm talking about. Lol

Things were rather amazing at the beginning! I remember when @guerrint had a $30,000+ makeup tutorial...then soon followed by fantastic drunk makeup tutorials by @stellabelle and @reneenouveau. @pied-piper was the MAN to follow for guides on how the hell this place worked...@winstonwolfe's (who brought me in here) first post that went over $1,000, the launch of core tools like steemstats.com...my first trip to @steemspeak (where @fyrstikken pushed my to go outside my comfort zone)...oh so many great memories too.
Sry for the babble..reminiscing. Lol. I just didn't want it ALL to sound like a doom'n'gloom past.

Congratulations! I hope to be able to reach that milestone one day. Hopefully within a year. It seems I got stuck at 45. It took a while to get to 46 and then even longer to get to 47. I can imagine what it would feel like once you reached 60.
Congratulations again. It must feel wonderful.
