Welcome to Steemit @creativechaos! I love that user name. I chuckled when I saw it earlier today, because the creative process is indeed often the attempt to make some semblance of order out of our often chaotic experience of life.
Seeing that you were an Egyptian-American and a poet, I wondered immediately if you had discovered @yahialababidi, yet? If not, I recommend you check him out!
Thank you for the words of affirmation/encouragement. I gave you a follow and looking forward to what you bring to the Steemit community!
Hehe, very true! I'm not sure if the same username can be used by many people, but when I attempted to create my account I was so happy that my username wasn't taken. Thanks a lot for the follow and the cheer up, truly appreciate it! I hope my work will live up to your expectations as well as to everyone's.
Awesome! Thanks for the recommendation, will be sure to check out his page as soon as I get a chance. I'm thrilled to see what my fellow Egyptian got to offer :)
Usernames are exclusive because of the way the STEEM blockchain works, so you can consider yourself the proud, permanent owner of the @creativechaos brand on Steemit (assuming you never lose your private keys, make sure to back up your master password several different ways!)
You are more than welcome; your viewpoints and work is very interesting. I hope you persevere in sharing here as I have seen so many talented individuals come and go on Steemit over the months I've been active here. It can be discouraging how long it takes to build on this platform since it's relatively small, but it is worth it because of the amazing people here.
Thanks, for the intro, @d-pend. I'm already intrigued by what little I've seen of Safwat's @creativechaos's POV. I dig his name, too, and am reminded of a Nietzsche quote I like:
One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
Cool Nietzsche quote! It seems I have some reading to do, never having delved into his writing.
