Welcome to Steemit @selaotj!
That is certainly an interesting story. It seems that we humans are hard wired to seek out the symbolic in everything and this can lead to some cool experiences! ^_^
And this is 'not' to say that your experience wasn't 100% valid. :c)
Since you're new here, here is a post that you will likely find helpful.
I think that you are on the right track and just keep in mind that it takes time and effort to build up any income here (posts, comments, curation/votes (and followers), etc.).
Steem on. ^_^
Thank you for the information @pathforger this is what I really needed. It means a lot to me. I gained the knowledge I was asking for sometime. Please if there's any changes update and post again.
As the great Andrew Martin once said "One is glad to be of service".
And yes, I fully intend on sharing more insights as I grow to be aware of them. :c)
