Did you really go homeless? This is very inspiring. I feel Steemit has already made me a better person too. I don't have a job and my business certainly doesn't pay the bills, but I'd rather work for me than someone else. Finding Steemit was like a dream come true. I've been an on and off twitch streamer but it just wasn't worth it. The toxicity that came with twitch viewers was also not worth it. On Steemit people are less likely to be rude.
I've had little to no energy to do much of anything when it came to life. Just lazy around til my business line rings.
With Steemit not only did I motivate myself to quit smoking, but I feel energized motivated excited and enthusiastic every day. I wake up without dragging my ass. I'm ready to take the day on.
So Steemit has definitely made me a better person also. Great post!
It felt like society bailed on me from the very start. I didn't learn certain social skills that most people do from a young age. I found myself in a cyclical loop of people being mean to me. Moved around too much to ever establish a good circle of friends. In short, there was nothing keeping me attached to society. Not even a good paying job with a great tech firm.
I can feel my brainwaves changing every day, and I'm more and more self-aware of self-destructive patterns. Its so much easier to let them go, when I have such a positive place to direct my energy.
Well I'm glad you've found your place here! I moved 1800 miles away from home when I had enough. It's been a struggle since 2009, but since I discovered bitcoin things have gotten easier and I've learned so much!
