good post, It's actually the only way to move forward, don't stop and don't wish for things to be different, I built up all I have, stared with 5 steem, and spent probably 4 months before my first curation reward. @kus-knee being one of the most prominent figures with his great posts and bones here and there :) It's a different story when you have a different perspective. I've learned more and interacted with more people than I could i the previous years in all "social" media combined. Most people here do care and yes they have to keep their own projects/blogs going so they can't stay next to you or upvote you every day, but they will always be there when you ask :)
