@eurogee
I read your intro post with great interest and i quite understand how you feel. I am glad you now realize that suicide is not an option as for whatever happens in life there is a reason God allowed it to be and as such, you have a reason to keep living and be of good service to humanity. As they say, there is ability in disability ...its just the way you see it!

I urge you to really work on your masters in Canada, there are far better opportunities there and also your choice of joining steemit is a very wise one as we here are one big happy community as we imbibe the slogan All for one and one for all...
Do engage actively, build your followers through intelligent comments on various diverse topics here and not on those who seek follow 4follow or vote 4 vote...they have nothing much to offer after the initial deal. Follow successul people like @kenhudoy ...study the platform, build followers before starting posting so you can reach huge audiences & make some needed income from it...

I trust your contents shall be original as steemit does not tolerate copy & paste or plagiarism...Build your steem power as much as possible...its your option to make it here through curation and ability to upvote good returns daily...

I shall stop for now and will give more tips upon your reply . And hey, you won my upvote! & following already;)
Once more you are welcome and keep steeming!
