Ok, ppl I already have a few posts up however I am taking heed to the advise of a Steemit heavy hitter shoutout to SteemieWonderchild... Basically, I go by the name Bridge. I am an iconoclastic,freespirited,alchemist. I have led a life you can write a book on, I have seen the highs and the lows. Currently experiencing very daunting lows and then I stumbled across STEEMIT when I was searching for another deadend job that I knew I would hate. A close friend of mine told me that it seems all my life I have been searching for something more than the human experience, thats when it hit me. She was absolutely right !
All my life I have always been filled with a fire, a sort of fearlessness that took me to great heights and greats depths. I have recently completed an 11 year prison sentence. I was deported back to my place of birth, which is Panama. In an earlier post I mentioned I have been living in NYC since 4yrs old. I am 37, I have 16 months of freedom and at first it was a complete shock, I didn't even speak the language.Phew!!! Lol. Through it all the only person that I had in my corner unconditionally is my mom. The personification of GOD. That woman takes the good with the bad and doesn't complain.
I have got to be the luckiest child blessed to have that woman as a mother.
You can only imagine the opportunities for a deported ex-con in a thirdworld country,lol. I will tell you it has been a big adventure, but by now I guess I should be used to it, huh? I did a stint in a call center which I actually deplored. To me it is a soulless existence to be in a freezing cubicle all day with people that judge and misunderstand me for $3 an hr. Lol. I did sales for another company which recognized something in me and decided to exploit my latent talents. That's when I realized noone is going to give you a hand up, all you will get is a dream sold to you. It is up to you to turn your wildest dreams into your reality. No-one else can or will expend the energy to give it to you on a platter. If so, then your subconscious mind is phenomenal and you need to teach the rest of us how you did it, lol!
Upon coming to the realization that I am not made to slave away in the "PATRIX" as a friend of mine has termed I decided to open my own business and sell irish moss drinks in traffic, outside of call centers, orders on demand anywhere I can sell my product, I am a born hustler.
Anything except narcotics that would be back-pedaling in my case. I would rather bring something positive into existence. Well, as you know life has it's ups and it's downs and hard times hit. I was desperate and searching for a solution, lo and behold I saw a Facebook post, someone was touting STEEMIT I decided to give it a look. I instantly loved what I saw. I am a creator, all I want to do is create content. And now I can make a living off of my creating ability and it is the next big wave. Oh! I am all in!
The way I see it, I SHOULD know all the answers by now, simply because I done screwed up on the test sooo many times. With the wisdom I gained from these experiences, some harrowing, some sublime. I can make someone else's path a little easier. Sort of a guide, the presenter of the way, not MY way there is more than one path but there is really only one goal. Thus, my name, The Bridge. I want to thank STEEMIT for the opportunity it provides individuals like me, because all I need is an opportunity. It's all I have been looking for. It is a new day, a new beginning , a new destination. I am The Bridge.
