Hello Steemians,
I had a lot of adventures in the past couples of months and it changed me a lot. In the past I would blame society, the people around me, my parents and capitalism for the misery that I had in my life. But realizing that it is only my poor choices in life, lack of stamina and the social isolation that I brought upon myself who made me the bitter man I am, was a tough pill to swallow.
Speaking of stamina, I think it was my very own fault my blog here died. I had supporters, people that I liked to support and most of all really interesting conversations. I miss these days... but admittedly I got a job that swallowed a lot of my time, I lost my drive to build this blog long before that. I envied those who built communities here and thought that I am just not made out to be a content creator.
On Steem I had a lot more success than many others and got really thin skinned when others 'just wouldn't get me' or when I got complimented on my posts I would brush it of as "they just want me to like them". So no matter what the reaction to my posts and comments was, I felt displeased.
I refused to join communities and make my Blogs really topic based. That said I am doing it again with this post. I lost some of my interest in politics, because I feel like my political opinion was just a way to hide my bad social skills behind neat political ideas.
So what can you expect from the Dude in the future? I want to bring the day-to-day German politics closer to my friends and followers here on Steem. This has been my mission in the past, but I feel like it got lost somewhere a long the lines. I need to respect the fact that German politics and American politics work differently and that there is a cultural and historical difference.
I think I will get a webcam and focus on the German News and translate and comment on them. Maybe I will do the same vice versa for my German audience, but for today I will just try to rediscover Steem and catch up on all the good old friends I made on this platform.
