hello @jk6276 I've found your post after reading @headchange's entry in the Pay It Forward Contest. It was pretty intersting reading your post. Specially the lines..
As with most people "come for the money, stay for the community" seems to be the norm. But is that true?? Would we stay if there was no money?
To be very sincere,I would not made it my habit to write if no money, yes after envolving with communities it's now taken different path where money is not all. From this platform I gather the confidence to write. To express. Its so special for me.
