Hello Steem (from the correct account this time)

in #introduceyourself6 years ago

First of all, I am so sorry my first post was a screw up.... For those who noticed and now know. My uncle @mrunderstood is allowing me to live with him and his family for awhile. I was using his computer and I thought I had logged out of his account and into mine, but I accidentally posted my introduction on his account. I edited it and erased it, and texted him to tell him what I did... He introduced me to steem and sold me on the anonymity, and now I publicized a connection between us, which kind of takes a bit of that away. Anyhow...

I have made a lot of mistakes in my life. I have served time in prison. I have deceived people and manipulated people for my benefit. I have hurt people. That is not who I am, it is a result of a long series of very bad choices I made and trusting people I should not have. Not quite the normal introduction I supposed, but I have learned blunt honesty is the best policy.

I have been reading on here for a long time and it seems like a good group of people, I finally got the nerve to create an account and give it a try. I am here primarily because I feel like I need to anonymity of the blockchain based social media platform to talk and be myself.

I am in my mid 40's and starting my life over, and I have to say it has been very eye opening. As many people before me have said... If only I knew then what I knew now... but looking at the past will only make me sad, looking at the future I believe everything is positive.

Ok, all that being said. My interests are life in general, the outdoors, my kids... I am a health nut and will likely write a lot about ideas I try out and find benefit from. I may go off on rants at times, but nothing bad. I tend to think as I type and almost through the writing if that makes sense. If I ever become too confusing, please tell me and I will try to explain better.

Well, If anyone is still reading at the point I may have some hope of finding a place to call my own and a community of people that I can interact with. I hope that will be the case.

Hello hated! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!

thank you

One of the things I love to say to young people is to live a life worth talking about. Many today have put being "normal" on a pedestal. You definitely have an interesting story to tell!

Well done for being on here and sharing your story.

I look forward to your future posts!

Welcome buddy. I hope you find this the outlet you need. You have made amazing progress and have yourself on the right path.
