I keep hearing people talk about needing a social media platform that is not censored. Hearing people say this brought back the memory of Steem. I have been a big fan of the crypto space for years and was an early adopter of Steem. I made many newbie mistakes back then, chiefly among them was regularly losing my private keys or 2FA information and being permanently locked out of my accounts.

I started this Steem account in 2017 and like so many things I did back then I instantly set it down and forgot about it for 2 years. After I rediscovered Steem in 2019 I dove in head first. For the first time, I decided to officially become a content creator and put in a genuine effort. So all full of piss and vigor, I went out into the world to create content. The thing was, I didn't actually have anything in mind. I didn't realize it at the time but I was more excited about the idea of being a content creator.

Anyways, not being deterred, I did what anyone would do in my shoes. Just start somewhere. So I started making stuff simply for the sake of making it, regardless of its quality it was still content. And that's what I did. I made videos of me driving to get a haircut or just babbling nonsense into a camera. I was learning how to be in front of a camera while in front of a camera. They are cringey to watch and I knew that I was making was garbage even at the time, but the purpose for me making this early content wasn't to make something of high quality. It was simply to start the process of making ++something++.

I was very aware of not being a skilled content creator, at least as as yet. However I still had the desire to learn and was willing to look silly as I learned. The idea was to start the process just making something and will learn skills along the way building momentum, experience, and content on the way. Anyways, I stuck with my new commitment for maybe 2 weeks.

It's been another 2 years since then. I wish I stuck with it. Right now I am inspired to pick up the baton from where I dropped it and try again. Am I lying to myself though? Is it just some fanciful idea? Do I completely lack the follow-through?

Perhaps the journey ends with this article.
