Honestly, It feels good to be here.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I first learned about Steemit about three months ago when I started investing in cryptocurrency. I had known for many years about bitcoin, but had never really taken the initiative to start investing or learning more about currencies until May/June of this year. The market cap for cryptocurrencies exploded in the best way, right at the same time my life did, but in the completely opposite direction.
I'll admit, I have been holding out from engaging in the community even though I was very excited to share the major life changes I was about to start taking, I wanted to prove to myself I was actually going to carry these promises I had made to myself. In the last three and a half years, my life had been spinning in quite the downward spiral.
But it wasn't always like this. Four years ago I thought I was one of the luckiest people alive. I was 24 years old, had a good job, renting a gorgeous house in the city with the prospect of buying it within the year, a gorgeous and funny daughter that would soon be turning 2, and I was head over heels in love with my girlfriend of six years. We were a family, and we were on our way. I had drive in my life, a wonderful sense of purpose and responsibility in my daughter, and a soulmate in my best friend in the world.
But Then Something Happen.
In the short period on three months, there was no house, there was no job, and I had discovered that there was a strong chance the love of my life and mother of my child didn't feel the same way about me as I did her.
Suddenly, We went from Bullish to Broken.
This is how we stayed for 3 and a half years. We moved back to our hometown in an ill attempt to try and pick our lives, and get back on our feet. But still, we were broken, shattered, and had no willpower to grab a sense of direction or motivation. We had both given up.
And again, Something Happened.
She didn't want to be with me anymore, and because of that, I didn't want to be with her. All of the burdens we had been carrying together, coupled with our own internal weights keeping us down, we both knew there was no other alternative.
So She Left.
Broke, stuck, depressed, heartbroken, and left with all the responsibility and burdens we had been fighting to hold up together were suddenly on me. The weight of it was soul crushing, and I needed to act quickly before life destroyed me like a freight train.
So I got Stronger, and Pushed Back.
First, I started pushing back on myself, because I knew that would be one of my biggest obstacles to overcome. I was my own worst enemy, and I needed to figure out how to win. Failure wasn't even a considerable option, I knew that if I failed, I would be failing my 5 year old daughter, my purpose, my responsibility as a good father, and I was ready to die before I would let that happen.
Please, stick around. Part 2 of what I hope to be many will be up soon, and trust me when I say it only gets better from here.
