exactly. I've always had a strong desire to help others since I came out of my long depression.
I've suffered a lot from isolation, fear and also from being too open/naive/vulnerable. I know that a lot of people are suffering in silence. I want to use my artistic vision to help others who don't know how to craft a story in a way that people will read. I've given a considerable amount of money to people already on this platform and it feels really good. It feels good in the same way that the founders created a place for me to be independent. This place was founded on the principles of non-violence and cooperation. Most people don't know what this means. It simply is a place where you can share your talents, lift up others and return the rewards. It is not enough anymore to just take the rewards for yourself alone. Sharing the rewards is so much better and quite frankly, I've never felt so happy as when I get to transfer half the rewards to the person who is suffering. Others helped me write my book when I was really nervous and lacked the ability to express my thoughts. I am returning that favor by helping others. This can be viewed as a way for those who are just starting to write about themselves. After they see how their story touched others, they will gain confidence on this platform, and begin to write under their own name. It's a confidence booster and a way for people to make some income quickly. It's a way for my efforts to be rewarded also, as keeping the secrets is a job, too. I'm exposed to a lot of raw pain, and I check up on some of the posters to make sure they are ok. It's like a therapist's job. It is sad I feel how many people are disconnected, and in pain. But i do understand it. I have had many issues with feeling down.
