Many of us have grown quite accustomed to the privilege of experiencing instant gratification. For some, myself included, it's difficult to see another's rapid success and not feel a bit salty about it.
I am relatively new to Steemit. I'm still getting things set up, so that I am able to provide the content I would enjoy creating.
That being said, I do believe in this platform. It gave me the motivation to make a solid attempt, instead of sitting back thinking "what if".
I look forward to watching this community grow, as I grow along side it.
