Wow, did this article ever strike a chord with me. Just the title alone hit the nail right on the head. And the first paragraph... and then the next... and the next. Man, I feel all of it.
I too have felt lonely a lot of the time. In my lifetime I have met and gotten to know probably 57 million people. Most of them like me. But they just don't get it. I have a tendency to speak what's on my mind... to tell the truth... to enlighten people about what a shithole of a planet we're living on... and that there is a way to survive all the troubles that are coming. But these people... 99% of them don't want to hear about it. Each time I get that questioning glance, each time I see that glazed look in their eye, I just turn around and leave, knowing I'm wasting my time, and feeling just a little bit sadder inside.
But personally I'm doing well. Very well. I'm older now but super healthy for an "older fart". I have found a spirituality that is just amazing... based on my own personal connection with nature and the universe... the things I consider to be 'god'. And that connection treats me very, very well. It's what keeps me healthy. Not to mention that the older I get, the more successful I get. Not rich yet, but damn... with the track I'm on, and with the consistency I'm delivering to myself, it won't be long.
My biggest problem is that I just can't seem to get Steemit to work. I want to write articles. I want to share. But I just get so pissed off that I can't edit my articles, can't edit the text, can't figure out how to insert pictures, links, etc. that I just give up. I have already written two articles on Steemit and then just trashed them.
I have run successful blogs elsewhere... why is Steemit the most difficult one I've ever run into? Maybe because it's the most beautifully simple one and maybe I just haven't figured that out yet? Obviously I'm doing something wrong... I have a mental block about Steemit now. And man, once I get pissed off... once I get a mental block, it's usually fatal. I truly hope that's not the case here.
In any event, thanks for submitting this article. I loved it. I understand your thoughts and feelings on so many levels. And I fully intend to meet some great free thinking truth tellers like you and Jeff Berwick, Luke Radowsky... people who would instantly connect with me. My "new" tribe. Most likely the majority of people who are becoming attracted to Steemit are the type of people I'm going to really connect with... in person and online.
Cheers
Wow, I could feel the energy in your post. If you ever visit Panama or decide to come to Anarchapulco we will definitely connect. As a professional blogger I have to agree that the simplicity of Steemit is why I love it so much.
Yes, you need to have some images or your posts will not gain traction. My post on how to SEO images might help. Also remember to center your images. It works like this, just take out the spaces to make it work.
< center > your image url < /center >

Thanks Randy. Thanks for the tip and for the link. Obviously you care, lol.
You're right, I do have an energy that I'm very pleased about... one that 'the right people' definitely connect with. Some people, not many, find me to be a nice addition to their inner circle. For the rest of them, I'm just a nice guy they met... totally blind to the real me, lol.
So I'm very happy to contribute to any community who is awake and in tune with the reality of this life. I'm certainly not a doomer. I'm a very positive guy, infectiously so. I'm excited. I'm happy. And I'm pretty darned certain that I'm going to end up in Panama or at Anarchapulco one day.
But first, I want to complete what I believe is my last year of working for someone else... my beloved son who still needs my help developing a fantastically successful company. But I'm getting tired of it. I need a permanent vacation from that world, and to turn my focus toward growing my own little financial empire. I have decades of experience as a technical analyst and I'm very capable of growing my holdings in Canadian mining companies into something pretty big. I'm almost ready to really start enjoying life. Next summer I plan to free myself. See you then !!!
And for what it's worth. You just went into the record books. My first "friend" on Steemit. And I thank you for that :-)
