I really don't have a clear answer on that question. I forgot to post things? Subconsciously perhaps my brain craved to use other interfaces? I was busy doing other things in life? Maybe.
Luckily I was smart enough to still keep the master key of this account tucked somewhere in a keepass database that recovered all other keys, and I was able to reset my password.
During these 3 years I have produced and accumulated a lot of great quality multimedia content that I will be sharing with the Steemit community and hopefully have a great conversation again :)
