Hi everyone! I am so excited to be with this community. I am Dee Monica, and I am an aspiring writer. I have tried writing ever since I was in college but failed to publish anything. This site was referred to me by my sister, @iamrosallie and thought this is a good opportunity for me to pursue my writing passion. I have not written anything in years, and I am a bit nervous of how to start. Maybe this would be a good way.
My Years As A Corporate Slave
I used to write novels and short stories when I was in College, mostly from my experience. And then, I became employed. I am a Civil Engineer and was a corporate slave for almost 6 years. I rarely had time for my family. I barely had time to sleep, so I had to stop writing. For 6 long years, I worked by butt off to be able to provide for my family. My loyalty to my employer was so solid I did not even realize that I had missed many opportunities. I had to spend all of my birthdays at work because I was saving my leave to be able to go home on long holidays (yes, I work Sundays and Holidays too). My only goal then was to receive the 5-year loyalty award (I know, boring!). But when that time came, they forgot about it. I was just given a lame excuse and was told I will be given an award the following year. I tried my best to stay, but the passion was already gone. I decided to quit. A few weeks later, I formed my own company with a group of friends.
My Life With My Own Company
My company is now 1 year and 9 months old and we have designed and built more than 10 houses, 6 land development and started 4 small communities. We have 10 employees now and still hiring more. I still have little free time but I make sure to give my undivided attention for 1 whole week every month to my family. I have also done quite some travelling with my partner (which I have never done during my first 6 years of employment). I hope to share them with you in my future post.

STOPAwesome post - welcome! It's exciting to see that you are taking some steps to pursue the passion that you have for writing - steemit is definitely an awesome community for that as I'm sure you'll realize soon or have already realized! Is that a photo of one of the houses that your company has designed and built? It looks very neat! Keep it up!
I am overwhelmed by the comments I got. Already very inspired to write more. :) As for the house, that's one of the newly finished houses we currently are working on. The owner seems to also love our finished product. Thanks @shawkr13.
Let's celebrate it's your natal day here in steemit, money is not an issue since you have your own company. Glad you were forced by your lovely sister @iamrosallie which is a friend of mine hehe. You have a background already in writing, awaken it and allow us to appreciate.
She has "forced" me into doing a lot of her passion. Sometimes she becomes too annoying I just ignore her. Hahaha Glad she was able to convince me with Steemit. I was a bit insecure at first given her track record in writing, but I am slowly overcoming it now. Thanks to your inspiring words @loistoryador. I can already imagine how talkative you are. :) By the way, money is always an issue to anyone. It's just that some people put more value in it than there passion. I choose to balance both.
Congratulations @deemonica!

Thanks :)
G'day @deemonica! Welcome to the platform :]
Thank you :)
welcome to steemit @deemonica, hope you will enjoy and meet new people. By the way, I am also studying Civil Engineering, can I have a piece of advice?
Hi @rigor! Stay away from bad influences. Engineering college has a lot of good students, but it also has a lot of bad ones. Your friends will help determine your success. At least that's what happened with me. Study well and pray before exams.
okay, thankyou
wow! welcome to the community @deemonica. Folllowed!
Followed back! Thanks :)

👌👌👌👌👌😊😊😊😊
Thanks 😀💖 I still have too little post yet as I do not have much free time.
Dont worry dear, give it a little time you know today is my 21st day here.
Wow! Almost a month. My account is still 2 weeks old. I did not have a lot of expectation though coming in. My sister just convinced me to join because I started to hate facebook because of some bashful contents. She said I can try Steemit and maybe earn a few cents. But when I saw some post in trending earning hundreds of dollars, I was envious. Then I came to a realization that for me to be like them, I should also work hard. For now, I just enjoy the journey and find users that I can actually relate to, users with good content like yours. 👍
Well my friend introduced me here, and im also looking to earn too, cuz im a good writer, and looking to make friends too i met @surpassinggoogle he is phillipians too, and a good guy
Yes, I think he is. I haven't got the chance to meet him or actually talk to him yet. I would love to converse with @surpassinggoogle but I don't think I am worthy yet.
By the way, you are a great poet. I get goosebumps every time I read your post.
Of course you are he makes everybody worthy,he made me feel worthy, he is an amazing human being.
Oh really my poems? 💝💝💝💝 thank you
thx for sharing
