Hello Steemit Community! My name is Rae

 Hello Steemians! 


I’m Rae King. I’m super excited to share on this platform. 


(Peek into my mind)
     I found an incredible way to release my emotions through poetry at a relatively young age. Putting abstract ideas about love and pain on paper through my teenage years helped me discover what desires were building inside of me along with the concepts that provoked my creativity. By the time I was seventeen, I didn't even know real pain yet, but I wrote like I did. Later that year, I'd experience the first real loss of my life, putting me on a seemingly never ending journey to find satisfaction in the wonderful places, people, and things of this world that became tainted with anxiety and depression.

     I believe connections are easily made through writing, through music, through art- through creativity. Feeling understood by someone you've never met is the beauty of humanity. We all struggle and we all strive to be better versions of our previous selves.

 
     I write to connect with myself and with the people who have felt the same emotions that clutter my mind on a day to day basis. I write for the hope that someone will read my words and feel like they are not alone. That someone is overcoming the same struggle at the same time.


 (Peek into my life)
     I'm about to turn 27-years old. I somehow manage to raise a incredibly smart, overwhelmingly handsome, doge-obsessed 5-year old son! With the help of my stunning, crypto genius boyfriend (who also doubles as my best friend).

They keep me sane

I’m also a bibliophile who could talk about literature all day, but my first love is putting words to emotions. I post poetry on instagram as @raekingpoetry and love connecting with other poets/writers. Feel free to message me anytime!

Here a few tips for starters snce you probably won't get any advice from those who comment under here, here's what I gathered thus far.
It's tough to make money at first so if that's your main cause to be on here grind that into your head straight away, that doesn't mean you shouldn't post content, you should, but enganging with others in the comment sections to grow your following is your best bet. Which categories?

Probably the introduce yourself one and the photography section but you can choose things that you have knowledge about too and then go from there just know that there is a lot of crap on here so plowing through that just to connect with others can be tough. Cheers.
