Having been on Steemit for just over a month, having had my expectations properly aligned and rather seeing this platform and audience as a wax I can mould a better world from, I'll concede to attribute most of that to this logic:
"...if you have been struggling for a long time in life, you might begin to see the outlines of stage 2, on your own."
I felt like you were talking to me.
This:
"...send money to Africa in seconds"
I hope you mean that NOT in the way of mainstream charity, but rather as an opportunity to be part of a larger market place, (I wanted to use village square but you may struggle with the imagery 😉) by reading our stories and value it as it meets your need for "feeling a certain way."
I enjoyed every letter of your post. On a lighter note, since you're biased towards Africa, I'll invite you to read my fictional little girl letter to "Umfundisi" here. If you enjoy that I invite you can explore my blog further. I mostly write fiction with afro themes. And I am working on a project to preserve part of my heritage on this permanent blockchain.
