You might think that my happiness is too shallow but what may anyone think, I'm really just so overwhelmed and happy right now. Haha
It's just my first 3 weeks here in steemit and I'm still finding my way. Like a blind man finding a path where I belong, who I am and what I should write. I'm a floating lotus flower in a pond. Small attempts was not noticed so I ended up posting what could work and blending in. Joining competitions. But deep within me, I want my write ups to be noticed. Mostly my poems which still had earned a cold shoulder that I end up being afraid to post my cream of the crop poems that might receive the same treatment. To be honest, I'm losing a little faith now. I know it's too early for that 😅😅😅 so sorry for the negativities.
Then when you lost all your expectation that's when God gives you a sign to hang on and continue. And this is it for me! I joined @romeskie contest titled "Ikwento mo sa Steemit" for I have something I think would be funny and it's from my own past experience. Well my post just receive 3 upvotes but I'm quite satisfied that the creator of the contest appreciated my work by commenting and upvoting it. I did not expect more from it already.
Then just today, as I was checking my notifications from my ulog account, I received a very good news that would keep me smiling the rest of the day.
I WON !!!
What I learned from this experience that I would love to share also to my fellow stemians is that ...
From Thomas Edison's quote :
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
I am so far from success here in steemit but what I had felt was hope. There's hope for me and I will continue writing even unappreaciated and unnoticed. I know there's something good at the end of it.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. ! And sharing hopes with you all.
Till next time. 😊
