To the Steemit community--
I am so excited to be here writing to you all today. I have never blogged a day in my life and this new platform seemed like the perfect place to start for this millennial. So without further ado, let me tell you a little more about myself.
For starters, I am a quarter of a century old and will be graduating college Spring 2018 with a bachelor of science in Communication Studies and a minor in Psychology. I plan on pursuing a career in human resources upon graduation. It was with the intent on helping people that first pulled me towards HR. As a woman, a wife and hopefully one day a mother, I want to help people be happy in their day-to-day job and leave work feeling fulfilled each day.
My husbands job has called us away from our native home in Texas so we currently live in Nebraska. I refer to myself as a 'displaced Texan' on the regular and a little piece of my heart is still in the lone star state!
Did I mention I love dogs? Well, I love dogs. Currently, I have three: Millie the husky, Mara the greyhound, and Rowen a mystery mutt.
These three hooligans keep me grounded and give me motivation to stay in shape (walks) and get up early every morning and not hit that snooze button 10 more times.
I love our planet and never shy away from an opportunity for an adventure in the great outdoors.
I am a lover of art, music, and Netflix. All of these things I plan on rambling to y'all about in the future.
A few years ago I was diagnosed with major depression and anxiety, and while it can be a bit disabling at times I do not let it define my life and keep me from achieving happiness. If I am able to help even one person who reads my blog who lives with depression, anxiety or some other disorder with a negative stigma, I will be forever grateful. I am by no means perfect, wise, or without fault; but I want to help others see all the beauty that is in our world and be thankful for the simple little things in life.
Being new to Steemit, I would LOVE to hear from everyone who happens across my blog. I want to learn more about the members of this awesome community so feel free to leave me a reply, can't wait to hear from you.
Follow me: @simkat
-Cheers

Hello and welcome to steemit!
I'm wondering how you got to the top of that rock in your third pic. Looks like it was quite an adventure!
I'm an early adopter here. I wrote some marginal short stories and got very well rewarded for them. Since then I mainly just comment and up vote posts I like. I don't chase the curation rewards you can get from voting. I actually like to find cool posts with very little up vote rewards and encourage people to keep steeming on. It's a great community of people here and I'm sure you will enjoy interacting with us!

Hi there!
Behind that rock were a bunch of other rocks that I was able to climb, it was a lot easier that it probably looks. I think that is really great of you to encourage others to keep on writing and posting. Personally, I am having such a great time looking through and reading what other people have to say and I feel like I am learning so much. Congratulations on your early adopting success btw, I think this is a great community of people.

I can definitely relate to the anxiety, it used to hit me hard a few years back but one thing I've learned is that everyone has different ways of coping with it and those ways may change as you get older.
Anyways, welcome to Steemit!
I'm very new to it myself but the community seems very friendly and engaging so far.
Plus there's tons of resources here on the platform that that cover a broad range of topics that you may find valuable.
I wish you good luck on the platform!

Welcome to Steemit! It's not that bad being stranded in the midwest. I live in Iowa, and have for most of my life. However, I think you get a lot more snow over there in Nebraska! Enjoy your time here on Steemit! Following.

It really is not that bad at all. The snow is actually one of the things I love most about Nebraska, oddly enough. I had never actually seen snow like that before. Being from Houston of all places in Texas, we have hot and less hot.

My sister lived in Austin for a few years and hated the heat. When you are used to cold winters and a white Christmas, you miss it when you leave. Maybe not everyone, though.

Thanks for your post. I am intrigued about Texas and can relate to the depression. I think music lovers can suffer from depression. I see you have a dog. I appreciate music and folks who are creative and think outside the box. I will share a couple of posts for you. One is of a dog painting that a friend of mine painted. Hope you enjoy another is of my own piano music and finally a post of a bug out plan for you and your husband if things get bad. Again thanks and hope you like the posts.

a very nice Introduceyourself post, @simkat. Welcome to this great place on here, and curious to see/read more of yourself. Fiscally conservative sounds prudent and like someone who has done their homework -- myself always a little puzzled when politicians act as if they had the goose that lays golden eggs in their drawers (while frowning at real gold at the same time)...
