My introduction and how Steemit changed my life

My name is John, a 30 year old guy from Sweden. This is my story :)


This I my morning view 


A few years back I went from having a good job, nice appartment and a great life overall. What I didn't know was that it would soon be all gone. I lost everything, my job, my appartment and everything I owned. The last 2 years have bin the worst and the best years of my life.

Even if I had a hard time getting money to survive I became a better person and am now chasing my dreams and passions. When I lost my job I got another thing in return, TIME. I got time to think what I really want to do because I wasn't really happy when I was working 60h a week.


"What is money without time?"


Today I am happier than ever, even if I don't have 2 coins to rub together. But I have a feeling that is going to change with Steemit. Not my happiness but I will be able to rub some coins and get some food on the table :)


I became a member in august of 2016 but had a hard time figuring out what I want to use it for. I don't want to post crappy content. One week ago I made my first proper post on some art that I have bin doing and BOOM. 50+ Dollars for one post. Next one got even better.

Thank you for all the support!


What can you expect from my posts?


I have a big passion for creating. Art and design is and has always bin a big hobby. I will be posting my creations and writing about them. I will be writing articles about Art and design in general.


I also have a passion for travel and photography. Today I have no camera and can't afford to buy one so this type of posts will come in the future :)


After the 2 year struggle I have realized that I want to help other people who have a hard time getting a place to sleep and food for the day. I can't say I have bin there but I understand where they are coming from.


Other topics will be about other interests I have like cars, motorcycles, gardening and many more.


I also want to verify that it is my art and no photoshop like some may believe :)


To end this post I want to say thank you for all your help upvoting, following and sharing :)

My next post will be a givaway for reaching 100 followers.
