A Challenge for the Steemit Community
Considering that we've all "been there", I thought this is something that could be a lot of fun! Since you must be at least 13 years of age to be on Steemit, this is for everyone!
I really think it would be awesome to see people of all ages, from all over the world, sharing things that remind them of their childhood.
We could learn a lot about each other and that is what breaks down barriers between people. This is how meaningful relationships are established, so I thought this might be a great way to really bring the community together. (edit: hours into this challenge and I've already met some great new people!)
Want to Enter? It's Simple!
• The post can be a photo from your childhood or something that reminds you of your childhood - music, food, clothing, toys, places, or anything like that! Feel free to get as creative as you like!
• Be sure to use #iwasakid as 1 of your 5 tags in your post - this will help others view your posts related to the challenge!
• Copy & Paste these simple rules so others can easily participate
• Engage & Interact - the challenge is meant to bridge communication gaps and offer topics of discussion - even if you do not wish to make a post yourself, feel free to check out the #iwasakid tag and comment on your favorites. Friends are usually people we can relate to - you might just find a new friend!
• Drop your steemit #iwasakid post below in the comments OR in any of my posts with that TAG #iwasakid
• RESTEEM THIS POST FOR A SURPRISE!!

You are the man, Jack!
But...I had nagging suspicion that you were a kid once 😆🍻
Physically grew up...... as for the mindset..... well, that is another story!
Hey, I can relate! One of the comments in this thread was someone trying to say "what if I'm still a kid?"
I said "I'm 32 but I act like a child - that doesn't count!"
Thank you for thinking of this and hosting. This made me laugh making it, and so many memories. Cheer everybody!

how do I go about using these pocket tokens on steemit? seems interesting but is confusing me a little

I just ran into a post related to this challenge. What a fun idea! I happened to run into a folder of scans of old photos on my laptop today and was planning to start a post series of those tomorrow. That fits perfectly in this challenge... Accepted!
Much love @edward.maesen! I thought this might help with writer's block - I have been trying to find a challenge that is so broad you could write 1000 and never run short. Looking at a photo of your childhood or even a toy you had can open the floodgate of memories.
Glad you accepted the challenge! It will be a lot of fun. I plan to do one a week. And if we get enough people in this - possibly a feature post with all the partipcants which would split the reward of the post amongst those that participate! Big plans..if you can dream it, you can STEEM it ✌️😎🚀
Thanks again and here is my post :)
