RE: My New Year's Resolution: Quit Steemit
Glad to see you're not really leaving. I was a bit worried after reading your posts about being frustrated with the vote buying.
I'm glad you've decided (voluntarily or not) to stay. Steemit needs real people making real content in order to succeed and grow. Otherwise it will just be a bunch of bots posting crap and a bunch of clickfarmers commenting "me too pls upvote for support".
I stopped making new years' resolutions years ago (well, only 2 years ago). I just make resolutions now. Decisions to be better shouldn't wait until a new year. Not only is it "just a day", you have a bunch of enablers lined up for when you inevitably fail. "It's okay", they'll say, "we can all be failures together!" Blech!
The whole thing was just a joke. It's not the first time I've pulled this prank either. It wasn't even inspired by the events that took place. I had this planned long ago. I have a place where I store ideas. These ideas are always popping up in my mind, so I write down just a quick one liner. When I need to write and can't think of something on the spot, I go to that list and build from these little bits of madness I hold onto.
I already vanished in the past from this place. I won't be upsetting these people like that again. If I ever have to leave I'm taking care of that professionally. I won't just up and quit. Even when I left, I knew I was coming back. I just didn't know when. A lot of my life goes into this blog. Sometimes there's not enough life in a day.
I don't make new year's resolutions either. My goals are set. Yeah, sure, there's a lot of stuff I should be doing. I'll do it when the time is right. No point in forcing it. That's why they fail.
