That's really awesome that you've already hit 900, must be doing something right! What is it about steemit that I love? I love that it's an exciting new journey for me. I'm not sure if you know it or not but I'm a disabled law enforcement officer that is close to the same age as you are. I don't have any children, only my dog that I love more than most humans lol. The reason I'm telling you this is to help you understand how much I need social interaction because I spend a lot of time by myself. That was the whole reason I started a YouTube channel, so I could have some type of human interaction while I was confined to my home for a period of time. I've met some good people on YT and I have met just as many assholes so it's a give and take thing, I guess lol.
You were fortunate that you found help when you first started. When I signed up on steemit, the people that I thought were my friends from YT turned out to be greedy assholes that didn't have the time of day for me and offered no help whatsoever, even after multiple attempts at asking. It's okay though because I believe in karma and what goes around, comes around. I eventually found someone to help guide me through the beginning maze of confusion lol.
I love the fact that you can get paid for your content on here. I've been wanting to write a book about all of the adventures I have encountered in my 12 years of service and this is a good time to start. I'm wanting to wait until I have a larger and more loyal following before I start putting all of my time and energy in to it though. I absolutely love the comment that you left us with "Everyday you are writing your own history." This is the absolute best statement I have seen since I have been on here! You're a very wise man. I see people trying desperately to pump out as much content as they possibly can, no matter if it's crap or not. To each his own and you can do whatever you want to with your account, it's your reputation not mine. That's why your comment hit home with me. You can tell a lot about people by what they post on here and I'm proud of everything that I have posted. I may not be ranked as high as the ones that started out the same time as me and ran their nose up every whales ass they could find, but I still have my pride and that means a whole hell of a lot more than a rank on a social platform. Last but certainly not least, I love meeting new and good people! It usually takes a while to develop an honest and true friendship via social media but that's actually a good thing. No longer than I have been on here, I have met some really cool people that are extremely generous. I've met a person that has offered to fly me to Canada to hang out for a few days all expenses paid! I was floored and humbled by the offer. Anyway, as you can tell, I tend to babble sometimes and get off topic lol. Congratulations again on reaching your milestone!
Thanks buddy, thanks for the comment, fly you to Canada thats pretty cool.
