I can't believe I missed, yet @steemitboard didn't... Arguably your best piece yet.
It really is a dull existence, running the rat race once your eyes have been opened to the fraudulence of the whole thing. It really leads a man to drink or smoke, whatever his/her drug of choice is.
Steemit is easy enough to play by your own rules... But real life on the other hand, they have men with guns to keep you in check. I do hope that this was not your last goodbye. I for one, would miss you terribly, all the while completely understanding your exit.
