Well, this was an amazing read!
I am pretty sure Scott will agree with me when I say you are correct about it being the people. Since we came from YouTube and Facebook we had a very low expectation about this place. However, we have, like you, found a home, a place we belong. Never in the past three years have felt more appreciated and accepted on those two platforms. The fact that what we are doing is accepted and encouraged has made us realize that we are doing something of worth.
And yes, @welcomewagon is a huge reason for this. @dreemsteem and @bluefinstudios have done a fantastic job creating a place to teach and encourage. They have made a family out of strangers.
Finally, we accept your challenge, even though i have no idea how we will come close to su h an amazing post. Maybe I should have Scott write it up.

So happy you enjoyed it Ren @xcountytravelers! I agree 100% with every single word you said, yes this is exactly what I have experienced too. I had no expectation at all but had a lot of hope Steemit could be different. Before Steemit I would never believe that it could be in any way possible to make a family out of strangers. What happened is a rare gift in today's world I think.
