Wow, this is amazing! I could totally relate with this part:

Some of my friends saw it and they too shared it. Friends started commenting; some to congratulate me in finding my old passion for art and some to say that they were able to relate to me; they too had to put some of their dreams aside because of carreer or family.

I've had a small handful of friends tell me those same things after I showed them to Steemit! Your story here is proof that it's not just a fluke, that it really has the power to truly catch on and explode. I bet there are many other people out there who can relate to that section as well.

I'm so glad that Steemit has provided so many of us with a platform from which to relaunch our passions in life. :)
