What is your Steemit Legacy? : writing in permanent marker on the blockchain

This post is no loner available

Sort:  

When you lost someone we love, it's the most painful thing ever. We feel how helpless we are. We cannot do anything.

Now what we do on social media, it is available there. And we you write something on social media based on blockchain, it is like you're writing with permanent marker. It will always be available.

Pro-found.
Many considerations very recognisable (in relation to my sister - still here, just).
Some things are maybe only buried out in this stream of words that can say so little. You and I both know it is wise to edit, edit, edit (i.e. breathe ever more lightly). Ultimately we too will have nothing left to post but "kids and dogs", and that's when I, for one, no longer belong here, too deeply involved with something real that speaks for itself.

Thanks for the feedback. I edit over and over until the 7 days is up.

First of all I am sorry for your sister's death. That is a very bitter reality.

Your post represents my feelings. On this steemit platform we have to give the best in any case, because here teaches us about how to share and as evidence that we have ever recorded history in this life, when our children or relatives read it then this is a form of memories the oldest being.
Very good @onethousandwords

Thank you for your condolences. I like that the permanence of the block chain forces me to think twice.

Yes, I do too. Moreover you as a person who loves to write, I think it fits perfectly with your soul @onethousandwords

Me too. I started here to have a place to learn about writing and develop the craft so it has been perfect.

Yups, let's keep learning. May you continue to succeed sis..

Sad to hear about your loss. I think you should write everyday on steemit. I'm really positive that this can help you pay more than your rent. Write Relentlessly, without using your backspace much. Blockchain is an opportunity for people like you to be independent. So don't give in! When you don't have words, take a pic and post it on Steepshot/ made a video for Dlive or dtube. Would love to see more from you :)

Thank you truly for such beautiful encouragement. I am actually in the process of setting up another Steemit account for my photography. I'm not sure why but I feel like I want them to be separated out here. That I will post on far more often.

For now I shall aim to find enough words to post once a week. I don't think I could manage a daily written post.

Dtube, Dlive and Steepshot are like rivers flowing into Steemit ...different feeds, one platform! As long as it doesn't increase your workload I suppose. Good luck :)

Thanks. I have a lot of photos sitting about with nothing to do so it won't be too much effort to start to share them.

This is so powerful @onethousnadwords. God's grace is truly amazing!!

I'm glad you connected with it. Thanks.

Sorry for your loss, and thank you for sharing such profound thoughts!

Thank you so much for sharing my post. I already follow @ocd - love the daily posts and find lots of gems from your cutation.

Wow. This is really powerful, beautiful stuff.

It is something I think about a bit and actually spoke to my parents about today at lunch. I know that in the future all this stuff will be part of the historic record. After I am gone, perhaps too soon for my young kids to really know me, or perhaps for my great grand kids - they will be able to read my legacy on the blockchain and know me. They will see what I stood for, what I believed in. In a morbid way it gives me comfort.

I don't think its morbid. Now like never before we are leaving ourselves behind and it will be easy for future generations to see exactly who we were and what our lives were like.

Thank you for your feedback and lovely thoughts. I really appreciate you taking the time.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your sister. Your post really touched my heart, it’s so true we should stop and think before letting words fly out of our fingertips. Social media as a whole is a cesspool, the only platform I use is steemit❣️🐓

Thank you for your kind words. Steemit has some real gems.

Again, a beautiful post. So sorry about your sister. Things left unsaid are haunting. I spoke to my Mum the night before she died and forgot to say I love you like 1000 times before that I did. I was going to call back but I thought , she wasn't feeling well, and oh, I'll tell her tomorrow. There should be a huge back space button on all our lives. xx

I'm sorry also for your loss. Things unsaid are hard to get past. I'm still trying to find a place to tuck away my regret.

Hey there, I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold, and this is a beautiful question and that is what life is all about. Life is a series of unfortunate and fortunate events. Your reflection on your sister is a fundamental transition to leveling up in life. Some of my family and friends have died, I'm 33 now and am from Oregon, and we are able to appreciate people more when we lose them. We can also find secrets to life in those moments as life is short but precious. It is key to build relationships with people, to invest in people. My legacy is in yummy delicious oatmeal, hehe.

Everything you say is so true. Life changes in a way that is hard to explain when it takes you through a storm. It has a far deeper sense of reverence about it.

No pain, no gain: no oatmeal, no honey.
