RE: Home Stretch - Reaching a Milestone

in #steemit7 years ago

it's not that bad, lol. It took me a while, but now I never misspell it anymore.
Can you imagine: I started here with the username @mike314-0005, hahahaha... after misspelling it myself for the 1000th time, I decided to create a new account. (Imagine a whale would have wanted to send me a delegation and forgot a zero ,... lol)

Sort:  

LOL. I like this name, it's ....simple LOL

You can't imagine how much thought I put into that new username, lol. It took me weeks.. I even published a post about it.
At one point I was tired of thinking about it, so it became 'simply'mike.
The simply refers to the simple username, but it's also a little sarcastic, because of all the things I am, 'simply' is not one of them. My friends laughed when they heard the name the first time, lol. I'm such a messed up, complicated person - so I liked the contradiction.

(Recently I started to think that there's more to it than just sarcasm. It was my inner-self, the unconscious part of me that eventually decided. Because it is actually the struggle I'm dealing with these days: to just be, and to live in the now, 'simply' be myself. And because of this username, I am confronted with it every day, so I won't forget... Life works in strange ways 😉)

Oh, gosh, yeah you had me beat there! Haha, anything with that many numbers would throw me every time. ;)

Right! Me too. It was so bad that I left the account I had worked hard on to get it from rep 11 to 51 behind and started a new one. Best decision I made here on SteemIt 😉
