I Left Steemit for 1 YEAR only to Come Back and Find THOUSANDS in my Wallet - My Story and Why I'm Back

For those of you out there that have been around Steemit a while, well, you probably don't remember me - but I was here.

I started Steeming back in March of 2016 thanks to the recommendation of @stellabelle, who you've probably heard of. We worked together in a former writing gig, and she convinced me to take my writing and content over to Steemit. Long story short, I loved it. I loved Steemit for what it provided me as a content producer and a writer and as someone who wanted to reach a greater audience.

I was good at it too.

I quickly doubled my monthly earnings through Steemit and was greatly evaluating making a full time job out of producing content for Steemit. Like many, the hype had hit me hard and I was all behind this innovative new platform that rewarded creators. I got fully behind Steemit and then something happened, I got a job offer.

I got a job offer that shattered my expectations for what I could make doing what I do, writing and content producing. I got a job offer from Autodesk, a huge engineering software company, and I had to take it.

This was an enormous opportunity for me, but unfortunately, it meant my time for Steeming would have to go away.

So, I worked away at my new job and was loving life. I decided I would slowly trickle out all of my Steem from Steemit and make a few bucks here and there. This is likely what many who have left the platform did. Then, I really forgot about Steemit.

It's been a few months since I've even checked my account, but I decided to log back in. I found my account value to have skyrocketed, all thanks to the recent price increases in STEEM. It's a nice surprise when you find thousands of dollars you never knew you had.

Long story short, this revitalized my creative drive for STEEM, and I've decided to come back swinging. I still have my regular job, but I miss this platform and I miss what it brings creators. I've got some catching up to do on the changes around here, but I'm ready.

So, I'm back and ready for the ride.

Awesome story man! Glad to have you back

Nice story! Good luck!

Welcome back! Good story and I will start to follow you, might be some extra motivation to keep going💪 I will start tomorrow with my first post, got challenged by a good friend...wish me luck😁

haha! What an incredible and hilarious story! Welcome back, friend! Steem is amazing. If things keep going well for me (I'm brand new), I could consider making this my main focus. As a singer-songwriter, I have to be present on social media to try and build an audience anyway, so doing here is phenomenal. And people are so supportive and encouraging!

No pressure, but I've got some videos up for your perusal if you've got a second and a half. We all know it helps just to mention what it is we do in case people might be interested!

Cheers! Xx, Kay

A big warm Steemit welcome back goes out to you Trevor!

Upvoted and High Pawed! :-D
