Great post! All good things happen in their own time. I rarely pay attention to the actual number of followers, and if someone has unfollowed, that is okay, there will be more that do. And begging for upvotes is a major drag, and most people really dislike the idea, me included. I had one person today, upvote his own comments with 4 other accounts of his... go figure.
The best way to go, be true to yourself. And you will meet up with some incredible folks, like my friend here @chelsea88 :-)
Have a great night.
Yeah you're right it is a real drag. It makes Steemit look bad too. Thanks for the comment & I am happy for your friendship too @inthenow =)
