This is definitely inspiring! Can't help but wondering what happened to that guy who appeared in your youtube videos, but I understand if you don't want to share the details (here).
You also reminded me that I was sharing my pre-Steemit story on here but I got side tracked due to my travels.
Thanks for giving us some more background to you as a person and insight into your past life. I love it when stories become more personal. We are all humans - if I forget the bots for a moment - after all
