That's exactly what steemit is about! Helping others succeed! There are things I could never talk about because I haven't had the experience. Everyone has a unique story and struggles that may help someone else get through there own. If only one person sees a post and gets hope at a time when they could have given up, then to me all the upvotes in the world wouldn't matter. I'd rather change a life than the amount of money in my bank account. And that's not sentimental BS to garner votes. Anyone can contact me via email if they need support, because everything is viewable on the blockchain so until secure messaging exists, E-mail should do the job. I can truly say I am the happiest I've been in my life. Who would have thought social media could make a change for good amidst the many other hateful malicious comments that are the norm on so many others. I may not speak for everyone, but for for me giving someone something intangible at the time they most need it is one of the most incredible experiences.
