This was a pretty touching story, I like knowing that you found yourself at a low point and Steemit was able to help you back up. The fact that power downs can be stopped is reassuring to know that we can choose, and change our minds when we find our situation has improved. The fact that the Steem price was far lower back then again reinforces how well us new guys actually have it.

To get your Steempower that high must've taken a lot of effort, more than I can imagine, and powering down in a way made you feel like you were watching your accomplishments vanish.

That's good to hear that things are going better and the debts are paid. Have yourself a great day c:
