And all of this is what makes you a beautiful talented woman with a motive ! Your story was really inspiring because this is how I started off as well. 2,000 in my account , preganant and lots of debt . Ever since I have joined Steemit as my last hope , I have been very much addicted to it , hearing stories like yours shows me that I should never give up and keep striving for the best . If we work hard everyday, one day our hard work will pay off , I know it . We learn from one another as well. You deserve much more, and it will come to you ! @stellabelle

It is scary to see how this platform is going but I feel like if we do not let it happen within ourselves , we will be a leading example for others.

everyone must just be brave and study.

And I will say one more thing , we have to take risk to make it to any place we desire , yes there is falls in the way, but those falls give us a brighter ending and I plan to learn from you and the other whales along my way. Thank you for that !

Huh, nice to see more nice people here.
Hope it will help my determination to go on in what i do.

In last two days i read two articles with people saying that they quit smoking and wanted to share here with the others in so many words.
Also lots of good comments there.

Like what you wrote here and wish all the best to you.

Hope steemit could bring me to life again somehow... i wished to have here such meetings, but not knowing people who using that and the ones i told about that have no time even to enter to see what's about.

Life is full of surprises and you, here are a good one. Till now, love the community i saw.

We share and spread knowledge amongst one another and what's better than that? We help each other by guiding one another to our goals and showing others that hey, I reached my goals . With positivity , anything is possible

Hope that i will can keep around in the list people like you and manage to see their posts.
All my life i did that and it is the best thing.
Best wishes.

It's nice to see such growth in you. I didn't even realize this was your post until I started reading it. We are wired to help each other as tribal animals, but we have to take care of ourselves first. I've only received a fraction of what you have here, had to take some time off, but it has been one of the most valuable things to happen in my life in the past year. That's thanks to your help.

Getting regular whale votes is certainly helpful, I wouldn't complain lol, but you would not have gotten them had you not worked. You earned what you have because of action, diligence, and work. Now you are helping others you own way, like the whales helped you.

Off topic:

Thank you @stellabelle for bringing my attention to that @dollarvigilante is a scammer... I knew it for quite some time, but your information plus others made me finally make my mind up about this man and write this on his latest post:

https://steemit.com/crypto/@dollarvigilante/to-buy-or-sell-bitcoin-cash-that-is-the-question

It takes will power to do this, you have been an inspiration even when i tried to reach you and ask some deep question and you are not reachable, i knew you are unto something more meaningful.

It is a privilege to whoever win these two tickets, and i hope they look back someday and pay it forward as well.....

It's your friendly and loyal follower @oluwoleolaide for @steem-lagos

You were lucky to find out about Steemit in June 2016! I understand your fear. I feel the same way, but I agree that too much fear ends up producing bad results.

Great post @stellabelle, like you and others said I was in the addicted phase of steemit up until the recent HF, up until then I was writing very in depth health and science articles. I even had a few big supporters on here but then when they didn't get what they wanted out of me they stopped up voting me. It's ok because I got to see who really liked me for me and what intensions others had for me. Now I keep everything short and sweet and I have two very big responsibilities in my life at the moment- my son and you know the other with my hubby. I still mod on discord and help when I can. You have been here since the start so I don't know if you have seen this cycle we are in after this latest HF? Keep up the great work and you deserve everything you worked your @ss off for. Relax and enjoy! You are doing great and have always done well in my eyes and thousands of others on here. TTYL night :0)*

you love me i love you, you hate me i hate you, you vote me i vote u, you follow me i follow you
