Steem isn't what I expected and hoped for.

I've been here for a while- not a long time but long enough to be part of steem imo. I feel it so I am.

I was making huge strides at first but wandered away for a bit- it's a thing I do due to mental and physical health. My big strides really aren't so large when one factors in my ghosting incident.

Still- I thought it would be interesting to see what value my posting has brought in and maybe... just maybe, I could convert some steem into cad for some groceries this week.

I have a measly 24 steem in savings...

Really?

I do comprehend that sp is convertible into steem which again shapes shifts into bitcoin to cad. ✅ I do not want to touch my SP- no thanks; it's shitty enough as is but at least I have some weight there. Featherweight 💪.

I've seen and understand that some people are honestly producing living incomes here or even managed to make enough money to buy a laptop, video camera, or even socks.

Of course, I've not been here too long, I'm not expecting my life to change.

What is perplexing is that I've had multiple posts that have made a few dollars at least; I don't understand why that isn't reflecting in my potential market exchange.

I honestly believed that my content was genuine enough to somehow penetrate the hierarchy just a little, but watching what the big payout content has been in the last year has proven to me that isn't going to happen.
