Excellent points... It's like you know me for a long time, cause you speak out of my heart. And for your "demand": it's @jaybird!

In "my beginning" as a newb on steemit I felt not at my place at all. So much money talk, so much "rules" and hate at first glance, I had the impression somethings wrong here. I was just looking for a decentralized platform to be sure that the stuff I want to say will stay even against my worst critic....

Anyway. Because I love cooking unfortunately the food hashtag was cruised every time checking and reading on steemit. During this I was amazed by the #steemitsandwichcontest and thought, wow how amazing, someone has created a contest for my favourite food.

To that moment I was more or less on the leave of steemit. The response on the "forced" stuff I was posting was like zero and I compared it to much with Vine (the twitter thing which is no more), where I felt in a loving community...

If I remember right at that moment I followed a view independent journalists to get me informed on the stuff you don't find in the media and Jaybird the amazing multi instrumental musician, his contest and his manwich tag where I found more and more this feeling that I wanted to be a part of his sandwich community, and if its just for the sake of showing my sandwiches I eat nearly every day. It took me another moment to join, but when I did the response was so supporting and encouraging that it kind of blew me away....

I started to participate when ever I was able to sit on the computer (which is something I don't like to do normally). But there is already nothing normal about me, and I needed that kick to get me going and may finally find my way to express myself like I'd like to...

Today, looking back I know for sure that the open hearted friendliness of Jaybird is the one reason I'm still here. He kind of became my whale and the sandwichers all over the world participating in this most excellent contest on earth became my cyber friends I want miss anymore...

Voilà, that's the reason I pick @jaybird. Thank you my friend for doing what you do..!
