So nice to hear your story. It will be a catalyst of inspiration for us all. We have got to thank Steemit and all the whales especially that spread the "love" everyday. So many lives have been changed and so much are in the process of change. I can't even imagine the possibilities this has in the future. I am a creative slave too and I am glad that I get a place to broadcast my most inner thoughts and feelings to thousands of people and perhaps millions in the coming future.
Best of luck for your future. I hope I can escape the cobwebs of life too. I am awaiting liberation and hope someday I will achieve it! Thank you :)
