RE: I Do Not Like What My Life Has Become

Hey man keep your head up! I know what you mean, I am pretty close to the edge myself. The other day I converted my sbd to bitcoin so that I can take the bitcoin to the bitcoin atm and get enough money to put gas in my car and get some groceries.

My gas was almost out so my plan was to use my last $5.25 to put gas, use that to drive to the atm, get the money and fill up my tank then head to the grocery store....

So of course, I send the bitcoin, get the confirmation from the atm that my money is waiting for me, go put the last bit of money I have towards gas, gas light is still blinking as if the $5 did nothing, drove to the atm, put in the code... "We are experiencing difficulties, contact support"...

Difficulties?? Support?? wtf!! I try a few more times same thing...

The support closes at 9Pm and it is 8:55pm...by some luck I start talking to support and jesus I have never spoke to a dumber person...

So now they have my bitcoin, can't give me my money, and now I am freaking out thinking what if I don't have enough gas to get home...

The story goes on but basically my Friday night and almost all of Saturday was very stressful and I was lucky enough to receive my bitcoin back yesterday and managed to be able to go back today to do my groceries..

But I told myself I don't want to be in a situation ever again where I am right at the edge of being fucked.

What I learned is that becoming angry, upset, emotional doesn't solve anything, it just makes me sweat and anxious. I just believe the universe has my back and I somehow always find a way.

If the price of bitcoin rises then steem price will rise, so will our rewards and payouts...My next step is to find a proper job, with the right confidence and ability to sell ourselves we can lock down a job that pays for the necessities until crypto brings us out of this hole and into the light.

One thing about being in this situation is how it tests our character, we have unlimited potential, we can always find a way no matter what, just remember that.
