It's my birthday today - quick thank you to the Steemit community and why you made this the best year of my life

in steemit •  7 years ago 

And what a coincidence that I was born on the Steem Independence day! So, first of all, I want to congratulate and wish the platform to celebrate this day eternally as it becomes the main medium for blogging and content sharing.

Since I joined this amazing community some two months after my previous birthday, it was a fun and rewarding rollercoaster ride. And if I look back, I think there wasn't a single day without me being here.

At times I would practice my writing craft. Other times I would come here to learn something new and read interesting stories. Most of the time though, I would put a curator mask and dig through the feeds, searching for quality, undervalued content.

I want to thank all of my now 1300 followers who like to read my little ramblings and musings and enjoy articles I resteem. I meant to thank you many times before, but the new milestones just kept coming!


Steemit gave me the opportunity of leading the lifestyle I was dreaming about. Life free from alarms, cubicles and angry bosses. Life you don't need a vacation from. Next challenge is to make it completely mobile. I want to travel and explore the world as much as I can, while staying heavily involved on the platform. My day job as a web (front-end) developer is completely in line with it. I wish you all follow me on this journey.

I don't do anything special on my birthdays, it's just a cake and a few friends that come over. Usually I don't like these special occasions, I enjoy more the every-day hustle. But if I have to look back on this year and evaluate it, it was definitely the best time of my life! Looking forward to the road ahead.

Steem On!

Thank you! Sorry it took me some time to respond. :)

Happy Birthday, it's great to hear about your journey here. I have been here not much more than a week and am still very much a newbie, looking and learning and I am finding the adventure fascinating. Congratualtions on all your followers and wishing you well with your plans of travel.

Thank you very much for the nice message! Just have persistence and patience and enjoy your time on the platform. :)

Thank you, yes am thoroughly enjoying my time here.

@alcibiades,
Thanks for your birthday inspiration of how you will build up your writing and your following here to be able to be more mobile so you can travel. That is a goal that I believe that steem authors and curators can be afforded by hard work and consistency. Hope we can help each other in the goal of becoming more self-reliant and free from corporate America.
Best,
Isaac

Thank you for the nice message! Steemit is revolutionary and hopefully many more people will be able to pursue their dreams and find freedom by participating here. Cheers!

@alcibiades I envy how you have managed to break free from the shackles of the average work lifestyle, it is awesome how this platform has given you that opportunity. I hope to eventually follow in your footsteps one day.

Happy belated birthday wishes.

Thanks! And I wish you the same! I believe everyone has a chance of creating this new lifestyle if they stay persistent and believe in this amazing platform.

Well I will try my utmost. As long as I am enjoying myself it is easy to keep persistent. Lets hope the honeymoon period of steemit doesn't wear off for me.

Happy Birthday to you and Steemit! I would say freedom is a pretty great present. That's awesome that you can do whatever you like boss and office free. Be your own boss! :) #goalz
