My Confession on Joining Steemit : Unending Gratitude to these People!

I am now 2 weeks old on Steemit. I have been wanting to write a blog to the people I would like to sincerely thank. For others, they might think that making a piece like this is an exaggeration, especially that I am still puerile on this platform. But, I am really very grateful to some people on here.

By the way, I would like to talk about how I ended up on here. My new friends, teacher @chrisvee and teacher @jho0129 who are into investments introduced Steeemit to me. These two are very kindhearted. (Please do support them as well.) They have never failed to tell me whenever they have engaged in new online marketings that they think were authentic. But of course, as you might have heard, not all of them are genuine. There are a lot of them that are wholly scams. These two have been victimized. Luckily, I wasn't since I don't always have money to invest that I always declined them.

Going back, @jho129 asked me if I wanted to write or do something like painting, drawing or anything and get paid for it. I was very interested and curious about the idea. Since I was having a financial difficulty that I thought why not give it a try. (I'm always having financial difficulties, by the way. LOL!) She sent me the link and I clicked it with alacrity.

But to my surprise, it's about blogging mate, which I was always very scared about. I tried reading some blogs that I saw that time, and if I still recall, it was on the trending topic. I was so overwhelmed by how people made their blogs and dumbfounded with the enormous amount of dollars that they got from just one post.

I was very hesitant, then. I never imagined myself writing something and publicize it. I wasn't confident to write something, especially using the English language. (And, I am not confident still!) So, I ended up neglecting it. But, @jho129 constantly reminded me to sign up. She said that signing up on this platform might take a month to be approved. Though I was copiously doubting, I still did it.

Luckily, I got an email approval from the Steemit team after 4 days, I was so happy but sad because I was thinking of what might I write before long. I have been shouting to the world a lot of times that I am not a writer. I had tried writing once in primary school in a competition which my teacher confidently participated me but I didn't win and that diminished my self-esteem even until today. For people who are suffering in poverty, losing even in a small competition is such a big thing. And in my case, I have been proving myself to a lot of people many times in many ways that a child born from a poor family could also do something but I always ended up being disapproved and rejected.

After, I posted my introduction post. I was disheartened because there were very few who welcomed and upvoted my post. I even told myself that it was a waste of time. So, I reevaluated and asked myself what exactly my reason was for joining Steemit and I realized that it was not mainly because I could earn something from it but because I love to write and express myself. After some time, there were more people who noticed and praised my work. I felt strange. I felt like my inner-self has been boosted and that makes me want to write more.

And so, I am very thankful that the people on this platform are helping me to gain back my self-esteem. Some people in this community that I look up to, are telling me that I am good and I can really write and those words help me to try my best to improve more my writing skill as well as my confidence to myself.


Miss @fernwehninja was my colleague at my previous job and I never thought that she is also on Steemit. We weren't close back then because we had different shifts. But, I do appreciate your support and advice miss. You are such a nice person. Thank you, Miss!


@maverickinvictus, you don't want to be called sir but please let me call you "mentor". I always stalk your blogs because I know I can learn a lot. You as such a very humble person. You don't know me that much but you supported my pieces. Thank you so much, mentor!


Sir @futurethinker was one of the people who noticed my #introduceyourself blog which I never thought someone like him would comment on my blog like that. I thought it was just a plain joke but when I checked his profile, I was astonished almost disbelief. Thank you so much, sir for telling me that I made a good piece. I will be forever grateful to you!


Sir @surpassinggoogle probably doesn't know me. He never commented on any of my blogs but he had been upvoting my blogs which makes me feel satisfied with my pieces. Sir Terry is such a very nice person. He is always helping the Filipino Steemians who are building the Filipino community on this platform.


And to the people who liked and supported my blogs, even to those people who never reacted but had read my blogs. Thank you, guys! I owe you so much Steemians!


To these people, I would dearly like to say "THANK YOU" so much. I will try my best to improve and create more meaningful blogs.

Guys, if you haven't upvoted for your witnesses yet. Please never hesitate to vote sir @surpassinggoogle for @steemgigs and @futurethinker for @ocd-witness. You can also include @ausbitbank, @cloh76.witness and @precise<>/center

Lol @futurethinker doesn't like being called sir as well ahhahaha

But at times it does get discouraging especially if you don't see a lot of supports or comments.

In almost 5 months that i have been here I realized how hard Steemit is. You need to engage people, you need to constantly write and connect with your audience, you need to be unique from all others and lastly you need to form relationships with certain people that you know will have your back no matter what.

If ever you need to talk to someone and just empty your hesitations out you know I am one message away.

Lol.... Well actually not everyone loves to be addressed as sir... Even me most times I don't like it.

@maverickinvictus, really?! I am used to calling everyone, sir/ma'am. Haha!

I agree and especially since I had experienced a lot of discouragements in the past.
Thank you so much, @maverickinvictus! You're the best. :-)

Sir @surpassinggoogle probably doesn't know me. He never commented on any of my blogs but he had been upvoting my blogs which makes me feel satisfied with my pieces. Sir Terry is such a very nice person. He is always helping the Filipino Steemians who are building the Filipino community on this platform.

Yay! Thank you so much, @raquelita. I agree! Everyone is very welcoming and I never thought such a platform existed. Thank you for your great comment dear! :-)

Hello, @loudetteiam ! I am very new here in Steemit and definitely share the same sentiments when you first started. I feel very lost most of the time, still figuring out the bits and pieces. I hope I could have great mentors, too. I will check out the ones youve mentioned so I can get more insight! Have great day ahead and hope you could support me as well! ❤️

Hi there @dubmenikki :-) That's exactly how I felt.

Of course, you can definitely follow and check them out. They are very nice people. And, will surely support you. Following you now, dear! :-)

Thank you!!

Lets all push forward! Steem on dear!

Steem on dear @michellpiala! Thank you for commenting on my blog :-)

Ang galing naman kabayan! :)

Dalawa tayong magaling kabayan. Hehe! Salamat sa pag-comment mo dito. :-)

Sino pa bang magtutulungan kundi tayong mga magkababayan. :)

A very inspirational blog. This needs to be upvoted! Remember that if blogging is your passion, do not let other people's opinion bother you and if you fail then pick up the pace and improve it. As i always say to myself and to others that "Keep being better. Always" . So keep it up and you are doing a great job!

Aw! That's so touching! Right! I shouldn't let my fear bring me down. I should keep going. Will take your advice, dear. Thank you for that very nice comment. :-)

YOu've doing a great job in a short span of time. You're earning more than others already. Cheer up! Keep steeming. You have build up a good support already.

That's what I'm thinking. I'm lucky that a lot of people here are supporting me. I have never had this kind of support before. Thank you so much ! :-)
