My user name is kinda boring. It's just the initials of my first name then my last name. I also started using it as watermark for my photographs. Initially, I joined steemit because you can earn money from it but along the way, steemit became something more. I met other steemians and got close to them. Our group, @steemitfamilyph, are now like family. We help new members and curate good contents that we find.
That's so cool that you are involved with that community. I think Steemit has and will continue to change so many people's lives in more ways than just the financial.
That's true. We have a member who have depression. There was a time when she stopped posting so we reached out to her. She said it helped that we reached out when she felt like noone cared. Steemit is no longer just a platform for earning to us. Its a great means for expressing yourself and to communicate with others.
I know that feeling of felling like kno one cares. I found Steemit at the lowest point of my life. When I came here many people reached out to me and gave me encouragement. That's the beauty of this platform
I hope you or anyone else won't feel that way anymore. God bless!
