That is one of the hardest questions for me to answer. I have tried to answer it, and every time I do I come up with tens of answers. I am a non-writer that writes on steemit, a non-creative guy that creates. I am the handy boy who received the greatest shock of his life literally when at the age of 7 I tried plugging my mom's blender to a socket using the spokes of my bike as a helper. All I wanted then was to impress my mom and thereby be given the "job" of cleaning the blender after mixing the cake with it.

That is a job that everyone wants to be a part of the team handling it. I have given up in rendering such "help" which would put me in harm's way for a proposed benefit.
Every day I tried to be the best of Green, being Green hasn't been a walk in the park. Life is unfair, anyone who expects it to be fair had already set up himself for failing. I try not to compete with anybody I only compete with myself. This may sound easy but I assure you it is not. I am my own worst critic, so when others bring in their "acidic" criticism which is probably intended to get me down, I laugh. I laugh because I have already told myself a worse version of that.
Growing up, I have been fascinated with the idea of being a celebrated author. Even though, I was struggling with the English language, as it is not my first language. How can I be a celebrated author if I cannot write in English? Translation. Yeah, that is a possibility, I can write in my mother tongue and get translated in every language possible. Chinua Achebe did it in Things Fall Apart and had the single book translated into more than 50 languages.

What topic/genre do I write on? Then, I checked and found virtually every topic I wanted to write on has been written by other well-known authors. How then do I become celebrated if all I am is a fraud that copies others works? Amidst all this turmoil, fate was just standing there with its all-knowing smile cooking up a twist that would make sure I never write.
Then there was steemit, suddenly I, a nonwriter that writes can now write and be rewarded for it! Sometimes real life can be stranger than fiction. So, my happiness was beyond compare when I saw that you can write here and people would get to see it. I do enjoy the mundane things of life: watching the sunset, knowing somewhere in the world someone would pay a $1m to see the sun. But they can't because they are blind. I am weird, oh yeah! Tell me what I don't already know!
I love DIY, I can spend $10 to do a DIY of $5, most people from my country may call me that typical pennywise pound foolish guy. But the joy I derive in doing it just about pays for the other $5. After all, my Dad used to say that there is joy in madness which only the madman knows.
