Thanks for writing this @corina. I pray my friends who recently joined Steemit will be encouraged and nudged to continue writing and not give up.
A day will come when it's no longer about the money but the JOY of writing and sharing one's thoughts and experiences that may benefit others.
In addition, the photos and jokes that may brighten someone's day that makes it all worthwhile to steem on. :)
That should be the ultimate motivation! Writing to make other smile! Thank you for your great comment.
My pleasure @corina! Steem on! :)
