Hello Steemians,

I am sure that I am not the only person to suffer from this, but I just can't do Facebook any more. No, I don't mean integrate with it and use it like most folk do. I mean something much more important. I want to bring all of the creative, free-thinking, genuine people over to Steemit, because they deserve to and need to be here, we need to grow all of the time and because Steemit is so amazing on so many levels. But, here's my problem - due to my old business, I am friends with comedians, magicians, artists, creators, writers and all sorts of other positive types, but I also know lots of people who are smug, condescending, patronising, troll-like, spammy, unbelievably egoistical and ego-centic, uncreative, war-mongering, argumentative or destructive.

Many are not aware of their problems, but they are based around closed-mindedness and my free-thinking self discords massively and takes umbrage, so Facebook is very literally bad for my health, both mentally and physically, emotionally and spiritually (or on a creative/passionate level). I am not for that place any more, and have only recently re-visited after 38 weeks of non-use to start campaigning against Nestle, and I didn't find Steemit on there. Steemit is designed to dismiss or remove such folk, anyway, but it is always a damaging process to have to go through, just to re-learn something that you were already very well aware of.

So, how do I do it? I could maybe open a private message and share the info, but this is where another problem arises. I am yet to formulate a simple couple of paragraphs that would promote Steemit in such a way as it covers all of the relevant introductory bases. There's so many positives and it's a lot to take in for a newcomer or novice. I'm still in the process of working out if minions should upvote themselves and my opinion changes a lot, but still don't do it myself..... yet. So, with so much info, how do I paint a clear easy to understand image for people? We think in pictures and I want to paint the fullest, brightest and most alluring picture I can. Not to selll this baby, or to boost it's profits, because neither of them ideas make sense here. Steemit is a growth factory for the natural skills offered and shared by it's community.

Please check this above link out :).
I want to paint this picture for people because I don't want them to miss out on something that I'm sure they'll want to be involved in at sometime in the future and I want as many people in here that are positive assets for the future of Steemit as possible. So, I have the Facebook problem and I have the Steemit promotional problem. In both cases, I don't want to miss something or someone out.

Oh my goodness, is that not the absolute cutest owl that you've ever seen? If it was out of context, it was still going in to this post. Adorable little fluffy thing.
Hmmmmm, just a minute, here. I went onto Facebook and I felt frustrated, tense and agitated, so I came onto here to try to find a solution to my problem and having been on here, creating this post, I have calmed down. Not a bit, not a lot, but completely. I am feeling happy. Simple, easy, no mither, just happy. I'll try to create a post that I can private message to people on Facebook and explain the positives to them as best I can.
That said, I do need help, of course, as I may have dealt with the Facebook issue, but I still have a post to create, regarding the simplifiction of all of the positive aspects, in one 'picture'.
