BLOG SPOTLIGHT
4th July 2024
The Screen Addict | Amazing Stories
written by @thescreenaddict
One of the first things I did when the World-Wide Web unlocked its portals 30-odd years ago, was look for a site where I could learn more about films and filmmaking. Up until then, I got my information mostly from the hefty film encyclopedias that were published every few years. I could spend hours leafing through pages and pages of film data, but the books were always quickly outdated for obvious reasons.
Are witches really evil?
written by @aminasafdar
Why witches are believed to be evil, unlike fairies? while both are known for doing magic. Mostly witches are portrayed in Disney movies as obsessed with remaining young forever. They want beauty and immortality, who doesn't want it? Take the example of an old German, mother Gothel, who found a golden flower that grew in wildness when a drop of the Sun fell on it. She reached it and became young when she touched it while singing her so-called magical song.
The Power of Pride
written by @ibesso
Pride is that feeling that unites, to a greater or lesser extent, all living beings. It is the force that pushes us to show who we are, without fear, without shame. It is our successes that generate that sense of self-esteem and satisfaction with who we are and what we do. Pride can manifest in different ways and can embrace different contexts. Each of us expresses it based on our character and the context in which we grew up.
Cycles of Life - Looking Through Time's Mirror
written by @aaliarubab
Time is an Endless Canvas. We learn from each revolving moment. Life is like a circle which starts from where it ends and in this circle there are many changes, the lines used are colored or sometimes black. Now man's hard work and efforts are focused on coloring the lines of this circle or filling this circle.
Dearest diary
written by @soulfuldreamer
Amidst these busy days, I haven't found time to keep a diary of my own. Such a liberating feeling, to write on your own blog for yourself but also for your readers to relate to. It's my way of slowing down and reflecting on life's moments, capturing the essence of each day before it fades into memory... However, I can't write every day, so I jot down my thoughts whenever I can no longer hold on...
❤️❤️❤️
Hope you enjoyed today's content selections!
Until next time...
KEEP SPREADING THE LOVE!
UNTIL NEXT TIME...

Hi @thescreenaddict :)
Thought I would step in here from my personal account to add a little to what I already said from the LuvBug profile...
So yes, as I said - it is good to see you finally getting a little bit of attention on your content.
Over the years I have noticed that sometimes "people of the blockchain" can be a little less receptive to individuals who step in from mainstream media... and often this stems from overlooking the fact that the requirement for learning is still there... but the reality is - it is precisely people like yourself that are needed here so that a better understanding of "how this all works" can start to develop in the "outside world". :) Broader adoption and all that...
Sounds ridiculous perhaps, but it is true (in my opinion anyway).
I did see a handful of comments on one of your posts about engagement etc. Obviously engagement is not a hard and fast rule, because there are plenty of good writers around here who engage very little, but I think the message that was trying to be delivered by those comments was that: expressing a little interest in others on the platform will essentially show that your intentions here are for involvement and not solely monetary gain... which is (understandably) relatively frowned upon.
I agree with that, considering that the content here is monetised but I am also a little more of the opinion and approach that allowing people to find their own way, in their own time, while encouraging them as they do it - is more likely to nurture that sort of behaviour naturally - which is why I continued to support your content regardless.
But yes, whilst there is a lot of nonsense floating down the feed... there are some pretty cool people around these parts too, who post some great content... and when you do have a gap "here and there" to read and engage with them you will continue to learn as you go... and likely make some new friends along the way.
Best to look for content in niche communities though... the primary feed can be a little taxing to scour, lol.
Not sure how much or how little you "know" at this point - but I thought I would drop the link to this tool here for you which you can poke around at should you wish to. Its pretty much an insight into everything happening on your Steemit account.

If you have any questions about the tool or anything else - feel free to shout!
Other than that - happy posting and happy exploring :)

Dear @jaynie!
Really appreciate your pointers, many thanks.
Yes, I'm still learning. I am a professional in the movie and tv business, but a novice here... Bear with me please, I will get the hang of it.
And trust me - I am not posting for monetary gains, I am running a quite successful consultancy business ;-)
I am sharing my thoughts because I hope it will perhaps mean something to someone.
I found out about this platform through a documentary I saw, and I'm just fascinated by the concept.
Anyway, great to e-meet you!
All the best!
Always a pleasure @thescreenaddict :) Nice to see your posts finally getting a little traction around here ;) Took long enough for people to notice that your writing is good reading!
Ahhhh 🙈 much obliged @theluvbug.
My pleasure @aaliarubab :)

Means a lot💕
😃Now that you've noticed me, it's even more fantastic, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The pride rises, further stimulating the desire to create inclusive stories spreading the love so desired by each one of us. 🌈
I greatly admire what you do. Thank you, the sun and the moon are with us!👋
