Awesome post. I am going to resteem this one. This is the only crypto I've tried to get other family members involved in. Several of then have done so to a limited degree, but I believe there is something important in steemit, and more importantly in the blockchain behind it and what other things can be built out of that.

Thank you, it is much appreciated! I would agree with your comment wholeheartedly. I get frustrated when people complain about the UI of steemit as it stands now. It's like, "build your own or stop complaining". The way this whole system is setup is that anyone can build their own site to access the steemit blockchain and display it however they see fit. I actually plan to integrate a feed of my own into my personal site that has all the content of my recruits in it. I sometimes miss one or two of their posts in the chaos and it would be nice to have something with just their stuff.
Oh I also checked out and followed your mom. I'm still wiping the tears from my eyes after reading her posts.
Yea man, happened to me during proof reading and I wasnt ready for it. I am a part of that ideology that crying is for pussies or that is at least what I heard as a kid (not from my mom obviously). I felt justified in my efforts when helping with that though. It is funny how you can go through a process not knowing the end results but having a good feeling about the potential. Then all of a sudden the ah ha moment and it all comes together.
I come from the crying is for pussies background too. Though it seems to have worn off as I age. People performing great works of music, dance, etc can move me to tears. Honest openness like your mom's posts can as well.
Nice to hear, I am constantly working on "opening my heart". It has been a very difficult long process for me.
Crying is courageous. Displaying raw authentic feelings despite social pressure to "hold it in" is brave. Next time instead of saying don't cry, say it's brave to cry. Who made up these social rules anyhow? Great post, BTW!
Not sure any one made them up, seems to be concensus. I have theories about how natural disasters have eroded man's trust in nature leading to the rise of the ego.
