In between getting sick this week, getting shat by the Grumpy Cat and the overall negativity of the platform lately has made me slow down a bit in the engagement department. Yet I have not left as I still read albeit not commenting much and look over some of the Discord communities.

Even with all the drama and flaws that Steemit has, it still has a lot of great things in it and so here is some of the Ten Things I Love about Steemit.
- Steemit has made me be the truest version of myself as I have been able to remove the mask of needing to look strong and living a successful life. It is a place where I am able to freely admit that I am not doing okay and my depression does not define me. 
- It gave me the freedom to explore and start writing again. I am able to write fiction pieces and enjoy writing my thoughts and share my experiences. I have found the platform to be engaging and supportive for a largely untalented guy like me. 
- It gave me a purpose of building communities and helping people. It stemmed from my own natural desire to help people and Steemit gave me an avenue to do that. 
- I am able to mentor and guide people. This is a very fulfilling experience for me as I am motivated by seeing people succeed and become the best versions of themselves. 
- Meeting new people. No other platform has been able to provide me to me a lot of interesting people that I grew to respect and love engaging with. A very diverse set of people from all over the world, 
- It inspires me as I get to know people and read their stories. I marvel at their creativity and so I want to be able to do more. 
- Support charities and advocacy that normally I would not have seen or heard off. 
- Giving me the opportunity to travel and experience life in the safety of my chair. It is as if authors bring me to their country and showcase their country. 
- To have love, lost and found again. Nuff said. 
10, Deep human connections. It is a social media platform after all and so it is okay to develop feelings and look forward on connecting with them.
I made this in about 10 minutes. Started 11:10 AM while watching a series and ended 11:20 AM.
So that is my list if you are interested in doing this.
