The good thing about me crying about things that happen on the blockchain is that I am immediately able to laugh at myself because I am sad for something my avatar is going through. The "reality" is that four days without payouts is just a little pause compared to all the work I have put into the blockchain since 2018.
Still, four days without payouts makes me feel sad and this is what goes through my head.
I am losing compound interest
No big deal, huh, but what about when steem is worth 10USD each
You had so much content to share too, the interesting places you traveled through, the pit stops you made, how you lost luggage from one home to the next, the price of gas, how much it costs to travel, eating while on the road, entertaining kids on the road, best times to travel, small shifts in weather patterns, the "congress caused drought"...
That's why you lose your audience, you have to remain consistent
And your affiliate marketing links! You can't make money affiliate marketing if you don't affiliate!!!
And then my mind reminds me that steem is cheap right now, and earning three steem is like earning compound interest, and how I should be doing MORE right now because right now is the chance. But it is ok. Because we are looking at the long term and we are here for the long run.
The time it takes to run a mile in is not as important when you are running a marathon, the consistency of being able to run all 26 miles is what is important.
So here comes a full four days without payouts because I did not take the time to write and share.
Good thing that I was still curating quality 
Because now is the time.
Thanks for reading, keep writing, keep investing, and #keepsteeming
