Hello Steemians,
I had a lot of adventures in the past couples of months and it changed me a lot. In the past I would blame society, the people around me, my parents and capitalism for the misery that I had in my life. But realizing that it is only my poor choices in life, lack of stamina and the social isolation that I brought upon myself who made me the bitter man I am, was a tough pill to swallow.
Speaking of stamina, I think it was my very own fault my blog here died. I had supporters, people that I liked to support and most of all really interesting conversations. I miss these days... but admittedly I got a job that swallowed a lot of my time, I lost my drive to build this blog long before that. I envied those who built communities here and thought that I am just not made out to be a content creator.
On Steem I had a lot more success than many others and got really thin skinned when others 'just wouldn't get me' or when I got complimented on my posts I would brush it of as "they just want me to like them". So no matter what the reaction to my posts and comments was, I felt displeased.
I refused to join communities and make my Blogs really topic based. That said I am doing it again with this post. I lost some of my interest in politics, because I feel like my political opinion was just a way to hide my bad social skills behind neat political ideas.
So what can you expect from the Dude in the future? I want to bring the day-to-day German politics closer to my friends and followers here on Steem. This has been my mission in the past, but I feel like it got lost somewhere a long the lines. I need to respect the fact that German politics and American politics work differently and that there is a cultural and historical difference.
I think I will get a webcam and focus on the German News and translate and comment on them. Maybe I will do the same vice versa for my German audience, but for today I will just try to rediscover Steem and catch up on all the good old friends I made on this platform.
Welcome Back my dear friend! Wish you all the best!!
willkommen zurück, lieber Dude! ich habe mich nicht wirklich gefragt, warum ich so lange nichts mehr von dir lese. das letzte thema hatte dir sehr zu schaffen gemacht und ich dachte mir nur, das braucht ein bisschen zeit und wenn es gut läuft, kommt eines tages wieder ein lebenszeichen von dir. und da ist es :-) freut mich, das du noch dabei bist. vielleicht treibt es dich ja auch mal in den discord. der chat ist irgendwie schon lange tot und out. ein kurzer schnack, dafür bietet sich der discord sehr viel besser an. lg
Mach mal Meister - freu mich wieder von Dir zu hören und zu lesen.
Ich auch hahah :-) Danke dir für all die Jahre!
