First thing this morning when I awoke from my nightmare I thought about friendship. At the afternoon I got a text message from two of my steemit friend to meet up at one of coffee shop near by. I replied with: OK. Finally we had set meet up at green hand coffee shop. We had long conversation about many topics. I could not held any longer to say something that crossed my mind this morning about friendship. Instantly I asked @popon and @andhika12 about what friendship is at their point of view. I encourage them to make a post about what friendship is on their post, and here is my post about friendship:

What steemit friendship mean to me
Generally all of steemit users are my friend and family, I should somehow help each other, but that is impossible to do so. Well, I do have many friends from my off line and also being good friend in online world (Steemit). Some of them also still have family relative. Mean while I am not talking really close friend on both offline world and online world, but just friend. Friendship mean a lots for me, I cannot stand alone on this platform without friend’s help. Friend is the one who would teach me how to be better and better direct or indirect and help me when I am weak and stand by my side when I am strong. He/she would respect my decision over myself. The one who will be with me when I am wealth or not, while I am happy or not. Friend is the one who would encourage me to discuss and look things from different angel too. It does not reputation matter. I came to you to make friend without expecting your return in comments upvotes, but most of you gave upvotes with your own respective consideration, it make me happy for sure. Not to be naïf, I do expect some money too, but SBD is not always everything. How about you?
How would I give my upvote?
My upvote is not worthy (Nan, Zero, Nill), but I keep giving it as my appreciation of his/her good work and hard afford. My current power is not mine, so I only consider it as a tool to do much more things on this platform. I wish I can add little value to this steemit platform by having little power which was delegated to me for 2 weeks by @sagescrub. I consider this is as my training week to show my ability of contents curator. I disseminate my upvote base on the criteria I have set up. But as I am not perfect, I can be easily jump to friend blog and give my upvote. Meanwhile I am only able to upvote a few friend’s posts and steemit user who I consider has given big afford and talent to create that contents. Honestly friend is included to this term. Some of you may not agree or disrespect for what I am doing. I also give little appreciation to whoever willing to leave comment according to the topic of my post. This week accidentally I gave two upvotes to my own post, even I deleted it immediately but I did not happy with that because it decreases my voting power significantly. When I do not come to your post it may have many reasons. It could be either low of voting power or being away for the moment. Right now I am trying to recover my voting power in order to use it the other day and visit you with little gift.
What would I do to appreciate my friends
In term of appreciation on steemit platform I certainly do many ways I could. I give my upvote, I leave my comment, re-steem it and I try to post my friend link on minnowsupport, with my expectation to give little contribution when I found the post with very little amount of SBD. Why did I do that way, it is simply because I have nothing to give from my own power, but the content deserve to be appreciated. The most and the best thing is I pray to your success. Sorry my friend I couldn’t do more than that.
Here is the list of who I consider as my steemit friend
I have long list of steemit friend, but here is the friend I communicate most at all the time both online and offline. I have friends and mentors
My friends list:
But if your name is not on the list please do not think that you are not my friends, of course my follower are my friends. And I want to mention a few more but I am worry if that will be considered as an upvote request.
And these are my mentors list

I would love to mention more names, but I am afraid that it will be miss understanding. And for the names I have mentioned above please apologize if it is bothering you by any means.
Thank you very much for your direct and indirect advices so far, now I have valuable knowledge to be a better blogger. Please do not consider this post as an upvote request. Thank you very much.
Who would I manually curate and appreciate
I would like to learn more from all of you. I would like to curate more valuable contents from anyone. Because that is the way I can learn more and more good things from all over the world. If I found good contents I will do a serious look on it, to apply my little knowledge on curation thing.
Final thought:
- Friend is the one I support with all I have, I give my respect and honor, I am happy when my friend being happy too. And I feel what they feel
- I will remember my friend whenever and wherever I am. I will stand up side by side to help, no matter of your power. I will give you my best support at any time I can, both offline and online
- I am trying to find good contents day by day, I learn from it, I am trying to add value to this community
- I can’t make all of you happy, but at least I will not harm you by any mean intentionally. And please forgive me if I have done it without my intention
My Questions
I hope you don’t mind to share your thought with me about friend
- What does steemit friend mean to you?
- How would you tread your steemit friend?
- Will you forget and leave your friendship behind if somehow your friend do mistake? Or will you educate them instead.
Happy steemit to all of you, may God bless you all
I am so glad that we meet on Steemit. A Steemit friend is someone who genuinely interacts, and you have done that well. I hope that I can support you so that you can support others.
you have given me really great support as always my friend @sumatranate, I sure that you can recognize what i have learnt so far from you
Great post! Friendship shouldn't be tricky when it comes to money or rewards and yet somehow it is. I think there is economic struggle all around the world and people are holding onto all they have tightly because they feel desperate to provide for themselves and their families. You sound like you are exercising your delegation with careful thought and taking this responsibility seriously. Good thinking, to have a criteria for upvoting. Rewarding good content and honest effort is what makes Steemit thrive.
Steemit is wonderful because giving is much easier and even then I wish we could give more. Matthew and I make an effort to visit everyone we follow at least once a week, if not more, to reward their hard work and be a part of meaningful conversations. We are currently following 156 people so getting to everyone can be challenging. Plus, we try to be mindful of how we vote so we are giving as fairly as possible to everyone. It's tricky business.
I think Steemit friends support and encourage each other regardless of power or reputation. We reward hard work where we can and create meaningful dialogue. And to make a mistake is to be human. We all make mistakes and as long as we continue to help and receive help with open hearts we can grow stronger together.
Thank you for the kind words. We are honoured that you consider us mentors. Just keep being your true self @el-nailul because you are a wonderful person and a great addition to the Steemit community.
Keep up the great work! -Aimee
@canadianrenegade, it is a big honor for me for your visit, thank you very much. I am traying to do the best I could. I would like to say hello to Matthew, please say my best regard to him and your twin. I am happy for your friendship, I really do.
Steemit friends? I haven't made any new friends on steemit yet, maybe because I am busy finding my purposes being here. But I like to keep in touch with my old and distant friends through comment and reply, though I know my dust vote meant nothing for your wallet, but I am a stupid generous voter! Vote for me once I doubles up yours.
Friendship mean caring and sharing love, respect and support to each other, no bad-mouthing just joking around. We can keep our communication on not just in face to face meeting but also through steemit (that's what we do all the time) I do appreciate criticism replies from people especially them who I considered to be friends, but many of them seem to be so busy and confused with my posts.. Hahahaha.
Thank you so much for your attention in my posts though you know it's nothing new or important there, don't worry, brother.. Upvote mine when you find it inspiring or fun, I don't mind if you visit me once a while, I am not too busy.. So I can come to your blog and leave my trace so you know I am your sister! you know me... Hahahaha. Keep up your good work and send me that pepper's seeds!
Hi have done more to me kak @cicisaja. I think when you come to Banda Aceh we should have a little chat and cups of coffee. say my regard to my Cut Bang, okay...??
He sent you a best regards too. Hey don't forget to make a review on 3 great bloggers, too, excluding me OK! I want to be the one who planted the trees. Pay it forward to others...and we will.. Yeah we will share our time a full kettle of coffee with @afeed in Jantho. Banda Aceh is too crowded.
What does steemit friend mean to you?
I'm not in your friend list. 😆
How would you trea
dt your steemit friend?Answer Question 1. 😁
Will you forget and leave your friendship behind if somehow your friend do mistake? Or will you educate them instead.
Sometimes I do give advice. It can be direct and some may consider harsh. Educating the proper is necessary. Most will not like this when it happens. If they think of coming here to become a millionaire, they definitely will die off soon.
You have improved beyond my imagination. Well done!
Yes you are not in my friends list, but at my mentor list @legendchew. you have shown me how to be better blogger. thank you my mentor.
