@michelle.gent. Really sorry my comment is coming in now. I really appreciates all that have learnt following you, reading your post and taken some of those steps you've been using on this platform.
Concerning all that you said in this write-up about some people coming to this platform to think about making money alone. I will need to be honest here and say that am not only here to write and write without making some little box but I can tell you that is a SECONDARY reason for me while the PRIMARY reason is to build myself and become a better person with my writing.
This is the only platform for me were my creativity and originality can be appreciated and recognized. I never love spamming and I don't intend to start it at all because it will kill the real me and make me a fake person. I wish everyone can understand what you have said here because they are profound words.
I intentionally put you on my steemvoter though my steempower is still low because that is the only way I can say thank you to you anytime you come up with those beautiful and educative post. (my opinion).
Remember you inspired me to start a campaign on BULLYING and I want to believe that has been helping someone in one way or the other. So you deserve this and even more than this.
Concerning the upcoming steemfest. I wish I can be there but even if am not there is no problem because having someone like you there means we are all better represented and our interest will be made known.
Thank you once again with this reminder through this post that, there's more to STEEMIT than the few cent and dollar you are making. It an avenue to actually showcase that talent in you and allows your voice to be heard all over the world. Thank you @michelle.gent and greetings Haydn and every other member of the family including you dogs.
Always your fan @optimistdehinde.
Thank you so much. Your words make me proud to have been such an influence on you.
There is more to Steemit and I think, in the years to come, we'll see the benefits of being the early adopters - benefits which include more than just monetary gain.
Thank you again.
thanks to you too
