It has been nearly a year since I joined Steemit. As an artist, I didn't make a lot of money on Steemit, however I did gain things which are more precious: new friends, new cooperation, potential opportunities ... So yes, I am a happy plankton and I will go on swimming.
It is true that Steemit is a bit difficult for new users. One has to learn quite a lot to become a "Steemian" instead of just "sign up and go".

I still remember my first two weeks on Steemit, although I wish I could forget it :D In the third week, when I almost gave up, I met @ericet, one of the three founders of @team-cn, and joined the community.
"Team-cn" originally in the Chinese version, is actually called "Newbie‘s village". The village helps new Steemians to understand how everything works, also the villagers exchange ideas, information and organize activities together. I was so lucky to be one of the earliest villagers, and I saw how this community grew up.
Too much to say. I just did this digital painting to say "thank you". Thank you @team-cn. Thank you @ericet, @softmetal and @honoru. Thank you every dear villager. Thank you every dear Steemian.
