Hey there Steemians ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ


Some of you may not have even noticed, but I've been missing for a couple of days. As a matter of fact, if you look closely you'll see that I'm really not as active as I was a couple of weeks ago. We could attribute this to many things but honestly, it boils down to one thing.

Search.

You see, I've been on this journey to "find myself" so to speak. Not in some proverbial or spiritual way. No rather, in a "this is the direction i'm going with my career and life" kind of way. Now before you panic, this is not a break up. I'm not leaving Steem. Quite the contrary rather. I'm taking this time to figure out what I love most and how to do it in a way that I love the most.

I've found myself realizing that the biggest thing that drives me, is technology. I love technology. Computers, Gadgets, Cameras, Cars, Programming all of it. I love it. I truly enjoy playing around with tech. It's been that way since I was a little boy. My parents could attest to it! I mainly got it from my father, who has a degree in electrical engineering but has been learning the ins and outs and programming computers since he was a young lad himself (not that my father is old or anything ๐Ÿ˜…) and he pretty much passed on a lot of what he knows to me as I was growing up.

So here's where we find the dilemma. I'm a vlogger. I talk about photography, I talk about cinematography. And it's true, I love these things. However these are just small pieces under a very large umbrella of things that I love. The question I find myself asking daily now is:

How can I encompass everything I love into my content creation?

Well that's what I'm taking time to figure out! And on top of that, a couple videos ago I announced that I was picking up day trading again. I'm preparing for that as well. So basically I'm just taking every precious second of this beautiful life we have, to soak it up and game plan the next couple of months; Figuring out how I'm going to organize these plans and move forward with them.

It's time to get back to being me and to start doing what I truly love... Or rather, ALL of what I truly love. So stay tuned Steemians. I have a lot coming down the pipeline, it's just a matter of when!

Hope all of you are doing extremely well, stop by in the comments and say Hi! I'd love to chat!

I was picking up day trading again..

Just my opinion- do one thing and do it well and don't try to do many things

Hey @nathanmars! I appreciate that! Unfortunately, there are bills that need to be paid. The truth is I dedicated myself to being a full time Steemian and it just wasn't feasible to live the way I needed to live. So I had to pick up some form of extra income. The good thing is, according to my trading style it only takes about 2-3 hours out of my day!

Thanks for your honest answer and I wish you good luck buddy!

Side projects and hobbies are important for us Steemians too :)

Hey @yonilkar! Glad to hear you are finding your way too! It's part of life :D

This is a great choice. I've done it a number of times in my life and amazing things happen after some serious deep self-reflection. I'm looking forward to what you do/create on the other side.

Thanks Mark! I definitely feel it was necessary! It's more of a transformation because I love what I currently do, I just want to do more in a much bigger scope. Thanks for saying hey @markvicente! I followed you a couple of days ago by recommendation from Bonnie, and I'm definitely looking forward to more of what you bring here! You did an amazing job with her video by the way!
