This had me smiling from ear to ear throughout. What a wonderful ride. I'm so so happy for you, that things turned out alright. That you took that massive leap(s) and crafted the life you truly wanted. <3 (Honestly, when I read the prompt, I didn't even consider Steemit/Hive as a choice/option. It just seems like something so familiar, it's just there. So yeah, certainly interesting to look back and be grateful for that particular choice.)

It's been incredible and hopefully didn't come across as bragging. It was more luck than anything. I mainly wanted to just get this down for future generations of our family. Sometimes real life is much more unpredictable than fiction.
The platform had an impact on me that I couldn't have gotten any other way that I could think of. This is why I chose it. It's an altogether different place now, there are still benefits but not as impactful in the same magnitude. I feel like, in some ways, we have more of a cohesive community since the huge financial stakes aren't there anymore. There was so much bickering and hustling for votes back then, it just wasn't sustainable.
