My main motivation for being sooo immersed lately in Steemit has been the ability I was blessed with to help others, without the voting power I can't do much of that beyond words which unfortunately the reality is I can do that much more effectively on facebook with my following on there. Most y'all here know whats up and that makes this a haven for me for sure. I understand that many on Steemit are motivated to make an income doing what they love and that's super awesome but it's not something that is a motivator for me. I get by with what I have and don't need extra money beyond a desire to give. Though I was able to to fund a superior generator that makes it so I spend less on gas from the baby goat post that 
I will still play here as I deeply value the connections I've made, though I do suspect they will be better made now that I don't have as much influence and for that I am thankful as it will show who is actually here to form relationships with me. However, I was unhealthily spending 5+ hours on here nearly every single day and right when I was about to take a break from facebooking to learn piano and read some books over the winter. So this is a much needed break but I'm not leaving, I just really need to spend some time away from the computer. I love you all & Steemit very much and look forward continuing to learn from and grow with you so we can smash paradigms and change the world! <3
