@gigafart, I am facing a stressful time right now. To be honest it is not as bad as the one you described, but I am looking for ways to provide for my family and am having a hard time getting a job.
It is so easy to think that we deserve something better, but too often we do not want to put in the time, effort, or money to make things in our life better.
We need more stories on Steemit like this. Every story is not a fairytale, very few are. We need more stories about hard work and calculated gambles. Thanks for being one of those examples to everyone in the Steemit universe.
If you look into the histories of some of these successful bloggers, you really begin to see that they came to Steemit with their success. But it's easy to think that they somehow were given an easier path.
