I love this shot because of how I felt at that moment, and because I didn't take it out of a vain 'whoa my hair looks great today' kind of impulse.]
I feel like I've been absent on Steem, not creating enough content, losing my consistency, not saying 'hi' in Discord as much, wanting to do so much though, doing my translation work for @davinci-witness, doing other side-jobs I get offered from time to time, making sure translations get done for @steemalliance, making sure I respond to all my private messages in a reasonable time, making a sort of 'brand' for my blog with super hip thumbnails and stuff while being way to perfectionistic about it, saving drafts of posts in @steempeak, playing a bit of drugwars since 'now is the time to build', forgetting to do my daily @steemmonsters quests, commenting on all your beautiful posts and attempts to stay connected, keeping open tabs with cool challenges of people like @bigtom13 because I really want to join them, closing other tabs full of promises because... Well, because of all of the above.
And yes, that was basically one long sentence.
Instead I've been working on educational research, finding out how to cook gorgeous Ethiopian food, spending time with family, spending not enough time with friends, giving some extra attention to another few friends who really really need it, procrastinate finishing my research because it's still not perfect, ignoring e-mails, buying books, sitting in coffee shops trying to finish that thing, longing for spring to come, booking a train ticket to London for a meet-up with the best of Steemians, finding out how my sleep chronotype influences my need for coffee, food and exercise at what times, feeling bad again about not making content, not cleaning up my laundry, promising myself I'd do it tomorrow (for 5 days now), having great conversations with lovely people, trying to figure out why my Netflix episode play the music but not the conversations, opening up my browser, saving another draft...
Wait, no. Let's just finish and post this draft this time.
