You know you've had an incredible connection with a great number of people when the 'come down' from such an experience is drawn out over several days.
To characterize it as a feeling of depression would be inaccurate:
The adaptation to a different environment where so much love and mutual respect with personal connections is missing; the 'settling in' to a familiar place (home), but where the energy of so many people who you love, and who you know love you, is missing...
As uplifting as it is to feel that honest, earnest connection with so many truly great brothers and sisters, the loss of that close, tight connection does require an energetic adjustment on the part of a Steemians unconscious psyche.
Going to Steemfest is akin to crawling back in the womb, and feeling the warm love all around you, and your absolute trust in the reciprocation of that love; uninhibited, unbound, unlimited.
Then you are born, i.e. back into the 'real' world, full of the people who have so much potential to be more loving, more kind, and more generous but aren't quite there yet.
To inspire, to motivate, and to encourage those to recognize a better way of living through leading by example, is our responsibility and our privilege, as Steemians and as human beings.
If YOU have been feeling a bit down post SteemFest², recognize why you're feeling the way you are, and be grateful for the experience that was so enriching and enjoyable. 🙂
Last year was quite an adventure flying home from Amsterdam after the inaugural Steemfest:

It's funny, you'll enjoy reading it, and if you're feeling a bit blue, you can say to yourself:
"At least that didn't happen to me!
Happy new week my friends, make it an awesome one: You deserve no less, and it's up to you to make it so 😉
