Hi,
Just be yourself.
I you are sad then post something sad.
If you feel like shit then post shit.
If you feel better than write something better.
The contests were fun but whatever, delegations don't pay what they used too. I'm sure you heard about the bytecoin drop. At your rep you got get $80 and somebody will get a referral reward of like twenty five percent for inviting you.

I would, but I didn't start a bytecoin account yet. If you look around Steemit you will see that things changed a lot. Thanks for posting. You don't have to be a positive contest host. You can be whatever you want and if you don't like it then change it.

By the way... there are a lot of new apps related to the Steem blockchain. You can try some of these apps out and those apps are curated well and will come around and give you a gogogadget upvote :)

Much love and sympathy to you in the loss of your mentor and friend.
