Really great post and a reminder for me to finally sit down and steal the idea and write my own story!
Loved the “writer for a purpose” expression and so sorry to hear that your mum did not trust you back then, it would have probably have made a big difference in life (or not)
I remember telling my mum back then .. I wish I could afford some of this new thing, Bitcoin, just to try out and see what it is about. I was too busy back then to research more..
Again I !LUV ed your post!
