I see a lot of myself in this post, but I failed to meet up with the right group of friends to bring me into the crypto fold until very recently. I found steemit via a comment in a general crypto subreddit and just knew it was what I was needing.

I had finally made the decision to leave behind "mainstream" goals borrowed from my parents of just let work consume you while you consume things to forget about it. I dropped from full time work to address mental and physical habits that were hurting me but my funds dipped low during that pursuit.

I am happier, I am healthier and I'm not going back to that way of living. I was trying to figure out how I could ever get an opportunity to be seen with so many word press and instagram profiles that had huge head starts. It wasn't until I saw steemit that I saw my way to help shape a platform from such an early point in its life, built with a technology that I believe this much in...pinch me, I'm dreaming!
