Write Off Theme: Rite of Passage

---

Welcome Steemers! In spirit of Steemit's Social Media Revolution, we feel it is fitting for our first theme of the #steemitwriteoff to be about transformation. A rite of passage in a broad sense is an event in a person's life that is indicative of a transition from one stage to another. Let your imaginations run wild for the #steemitwriteoff.
