In many of your personal posts you remind me of my husband so I can empathize with you and can easily picture your experiences in my head. Your story of hitting rock bottom in so many ways reminds me of my husband hitting rock bottom before he finally got his act together. Like you he had his "smart" hustles of getting a few bucks for food and other things. He lived on friends couches until they got tired of him. In the end had to be rescued from living on the streets by his father who feared he'd end up in jail. Thankfully, after that he grew up. It's not a fun road to travel down. But you made it out and you are working hard for a better future. I'm glad you got rescued and are in a better place in life. I'm glad that you found steemit and enjoy sharing your art and creativity here. I don't think you need to justify yourself to the jerks out there on this platform. People like to give other people who are successful shit for it but you know you work hard for your success so don't let jerks get to you. You have a lot of people who love having you here just because you are you. Embrace those people and ignore the haters.

I always tell myself to ignore the 1% bad and focus on the 99% good but when the 1% is what's right in front of me, it's hard to look away. My personality kind of forces me to face those things head on, not turn my back on it so I don't get stabbed, in a sense. I think they say don't poke the bear because of people like me... LOL! At least I can laugh about it.
