2 Years On Steem! My Anniversary Video For You 💗

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)

We are only one decision away from a totally different life.

Two years ago today - on the 24th of July 2016 12:50 UTC - I signed up to Steemit.com, and that decision changed my life forever.

We can't predict the future, so what we do is go trying things and then look how they turn out. Sometimes we're lucky, and sometimes we learn.

Now if I was asked to describe my Steem journey in only one word, then it would probably be this one:

M I N D - B L O W I N G.

Thank you @knircky for introducing me to this wonderful platform back in July 2016 - without you I wouldn't be where I am today! You told me that you thought this could be a great place for me.

Damn, it is!!!

Here's to big life decisions and the wonderful impact they can have!

We are our choices

Everything we are today is the consequence and mirror of the decisions we've made in the past.

We get shaped by the experiences we make and the people we meet en route. We self-develop according to our level of courage and adventurousness, combined with the will to let go what doesn't work for us and the open-mindedness that makes us embrace the change.

What I've learned during these amazing two years is that Steem can be much more than just a social network. It's a place that empowers people to become the best version of themselves.

Steem is technological progress represented by one of the best blockchains in the world, built by a community of creative, extroverted and smart pioneers who're itchy to make this world become a better place.

We're the embodiment of the decentralized American dream

The internet of value is on, and we're all part of it!

Opportunities are growing fast on the Steem blockchain, and not only one day passes without a new project being launched in our network.

We are not good at waiting for someone else to change the world for better, we prefer to do it on our own.

We make no difference between cultures, languages and skin colours. Doors are open on Steem, everybody is invited to become somebody and live their own steemy dream.

Thank you for two amazing years! Here's my anniversary video for you:

Last but not least, I'd like to especially thank those of you who've interacted most with me during the past 365 days.

Not surprisingly the one who provided me with these fantastic numbers is also "my no. 1" on the list.

Thank you Ash @abh12345, I enjoyed every conversation with you to the absolute max! 😍

Such an amazing journey!!! Congratz for sticking to your guns and ever growing.

To me you are the best proof that the vision of this platform can be reality and that hard work and following your dreams makes for a happy life.

😍😍😍
Thank you so much for your lovely words and of course for introducing me to this place!
Following one's dreams is definitely a good strategy to find happiness in life :-)

Big hugs & kisses

Happy Seem anniversary! What a beautiful video and a job well done.

I felt proud to be a part of Steem as I watched it.

Aaaaw sweet! Thank you so much @whatsup! Hearing it from you means a lot :-))

Hey @surfermarly
Congratulations for being 2 years on steem platform. I am so happy to be on your blog and get to know you better. I just watch your presentation at @steemfest which is quite motivating


You said we dont need to be developers before we do great things on the platform.
So I feel so self fulfilled that I ventured into organizing @steemcamp which was a success

I really wish to meet you all in steemfest 3 if i'm opportuned to attend from Nigeria.
Thanks for akso checking on my blog
One again i say congratulations

Oh Steemfest! That was one of my best days so far :-)
Thanks a lot for your kind words and encouragement! I really wish you the same for your project in Nigeria.

Have a great day!

Congratulations on being around on Steemit for 730 days. Two years doesn't seem like such a long time, but 730 days makes it feel like forever. :) I think Steemit has been a better place because of you, sticking up for the little SP, leading the cheers when things are done right, questioning and promoting a better way when things go wrong.

Good luck with all of your endeavors on and off Steemit, and here's to the next 365 days. (You'll need to do something for day 1,000. That will feel like a reaaaaaaallly long time. :)

Hehe, you're right 730 sounds even more impressive! :-)
I guess I'll prepare something for my 10,000 followers milestone - could become a quite special moment.
Thanks a lot for stopping by and for congratulating me today!!

A video and some data in your 2 year anniversary post - what more could one ask! :D

What a great journey it has been for you Marly. I've witnessed both the good and the bad and I'm happy you've made it so far in just 2 years. This place has been great for you, and you have returned the favor and 'paid it forward' to others, both on and off the blockchain.

I wish you and your @dreamsoftheocean charity project much success and think you are fully deserved of the role of #steem-ambassador.

resteemed with love and respect for what you have achieved so far, best of luck for year 3!

Steem on!

Asher

Thank you so much for your lovely and encouraging words and your outstanding and ongoing support, Ash!

I guess you hit the nail: It's been a wild ride, with ups and downs as in real life. Consistency paid off in the end, and I'm happiest to be so fortunate to invite others to participate in that success story now.

One for all and all for one :-)

Big hugs :-*

It is my pleasure 😊

You are a credit to Steem and long may that continue!

Thank you so much!!

Congratulations. You were a few days ahead of me. It's been an amazing time and this is just the start

I couldn't agree more, Steve - and THANK YOU!
We were fortunate to be among the real pioneers back in 2016, even though every day is a good day to join Steem ultimately :-)

Wohoo congratulations Marly! You're awesome ;) Here's to another 2 years!

Thank you so much, Peter!! :-) What a ride, haha. Let's go for the next 2, yay!

Happy Anniversary!! Im sure more good things are coming your way.
