Another item can be scratched from my bucket list.
Well, I guess it's a kind of silly. But it was lurking in the back of my mind: "Got to get to 10K posts." Just like when I was getting close to 3000 followers, had to get passed that 3K number. Is it important, really? No, probably not, it is something that is like: "Hey, I made it!" And then moving on with the things of the day.
There are days that I notice myself thinking about ye oal' days at Steem. "Yes youngling, sit down and let me bore you with stories how I once discovered Steem. It was the end of may 2016, I remember it all too well..." And then someone would shout: "Yeah, very interesting grumps, but have you ever been to a SteemFest_...!?" Saddness in my eyes while I drip off, no, I have never, ever, unfortunately.
So instead I started to focus on apparantly meaningless, yet personal, achievements. Get that 3K, make it to 10K and that reputation sure stays a long time at 67 and then some. Are they sure it is not broken? Freedom of expression, that is one thing I still do like about posting at Steem. But it does not mean it does not have an effect. There is also freedom of response.
Made it to 10K posts, a combination of publications and replies, both counting as posts. Moving on with the things of the day. And wether you are going to SteemFest³ or not, I whish you all the best.
