My demons led me here as well.
I joined Steem in June but didn't get active till mid-November (so much wasted time).
The point where I got active was a peculiar time in my life. I had just lost my mother only one year after losing my father. I was totally fucked up. I still am in fact. It will take me some time to get over this, if I ever do.
After my mother's death I became angry at this game we are all forced to play. All these hoops we have to jump through just to survive. It had stolen something precious from me, time with people I love. I did't want to play any more. I hadn't wanted to play to begin with.
I was pretty much at rock bottom by mid-November. I began to contemplate just dropping out of it all. I was gonna quit my job and just say "fuck it" to everything.
One evening I was watching Anarchast and Jeff Berwick mentioned Steem for the thousandth time and I thought, "Hell, I have that account, why not check it out?"
What I found changed my plans. It is slowly changing my life.
I still plan on saying, "fuck it". But now it will be on m terms. I will have the opportunity to say no. That is something I learned from you @taskmaster4450. Thanks. :-)
I appreciate your work here dude.
Keep Steeming!
