The change
©2019 - A writer
Some of you might know that I moved countries three weeks ago. And, for these twenty and one days, I have not had any time for myself. My life has been a circus and I am tired.
Everything in my world changed after I made a decision. Because of a resolution; I was not satisfied with my life. All my years of living I have held close a conviction that I will always follow my dreams but sometimes we all stray from our path. I lost my way so I had to give myself a reality check. The last weeks are the result of it.
Have you noticed? I totally messed up my aesthetics this past week mostly because of a certain challenge I joined. #TheBeast, I am looking at you! No longer are there only stories on my blog. Now you get to find out more about me.
My head is spinning
That being said, I have been avoiding today like a plague. I have done nothing. I do not want to write. I need a break but I do not feel like giving up just yet. At least not on this part of the challenge! My comment count will never reach the necessary quota but I do not mind that. I have had some great conversations with people and I am taking it at my own pace. Yeah, I tend to do that, make my own rules! No one has been able to tame me for years now.
Letting it flow
I had a bit of trouble the first couple of days. My mana was always under 80% but I kept up with the conversation. I was doing what was required of me and I was kind of into it. The last couple of days, however, I feel more like I have gotten into the flow and I am feeling great about how much I spend interacting and creating with and for others. I have switched back to the right track, almost!
You can say that I am a person that needs to express myself in words. I realize I used to do that on Steemit. I used to write about what I believed in and felt directly. I have not done that much anywhere lately. My stories are always influenced by my current state of mind but they are indirect reflections on my life. I crave for a bit more, so... I will return to my roots!
Getting back on track
I am excited to once again do as much as I did in my early blogging days even if I am not used to it anymore as my responsibilities have grown. I am ecstatic because I get to actually have meaningful conversations in the comment section. It is something I lacked and gave up on, in a way, a long while ago.
I am getting a hang of it now and, besides the sleep that I am missing, I am feeling amazing about everything in my life. I am exactly where I want to be now. Right in this moment. So, lets get to all the good things!
Connecting with great people
I have had the honour to connect with some great people these last days. My commenting has increased tremendously even if it is nowhere near fifty comments a day. I am very deep into the comment session with a couple of people. Life is good. Exhausting but good. I think. I do not know anymore. *Help me!*
Igniting that fire again
In the early days of Steemit, I posted almost every day. That meant that I wrote five to six stories of fiction a week. They were not just five paragraphs. I have no idea how I did that. Well, I do. I did it because I was starving to follow my dreams. I was craving to do what I always knew instinctively I was meant to do. Now I get to force myself to make that commitment once again! Thanks to an amazing community challenge that has turned up my engagement game tenfold.
Conclusion
Joining #TheBesat has made me realize that I need to write out my thoughts once in a while. Even if it messes with my aesthetics from time to time. So, until I find a way to share me somewhere else, I think you will have to deal with a little bit of Linda here. Speaking of me, should I put my face back up on top of the blog?
So, tell me what has changed in your life since #TheBeast kicked off! Have you adapted anything in your posting or voting behaviour? How are the comments going?
Thank you for reading,
Linda
