Dropping by and supporting your post @tribe9. It has been featured in the entry of it, by @cicisaja, into our Pay It Forward Community's weekly curation contest. As part of the @pifc community, we would encourage you to check into it.

First, welcome! Looks like you've been invested in Steem for awhile, but only recently started posting. I have a similar story ... 😊

”Its not about the "STEEM". Its about "recognition", someone out there must have seen the light, agreed with my points, and upvoted me. And that was supercool. “

Yep! An amazing "ecosystem" we Steemians have "in here" ... 👍

”And I thought if I was in IT I could get away from it hehehe yeah... guess not.“

Nope. Part of life ... 👎

"I've got a native command of 3 languages, have lived or worked in many parts of the world...at some point I've lost track. And that's great, cause you're understanding of life, humans, the world, and your own life philosophy has a chance to grow a lot this way, should you choose to allow it."

Very interesting background you have! Great introduction Kismet and nice to have you "in here" joining us all in doing our individual small parts to help advance "the cause" ...

Thank you for your effort here to add value to our Steem blockchain!
