I couldn't agree more with your article. I enjoy writing articles but I find myself slacking off in that aspect, at least until basketball season starts. That said, I have really been connecting with people on here in the last month or so I've been around by commenting on other posts. I have been able to find the authors that I enjoy reading and some YouTuber's that I already enjoy but have found again on Steemit. Ive also noticed when you comment on the topics that interest you, you will come across the same people because they are also interested in the same things. That has actually been what I think has created the best bonds with friends on Steemit thus far for me! Wish I you continued success and growth my friend, good luck!
