hi, my name is Ej .I am brand new at the crypto universe let alone a real blog style site like steemit. Bare with me i am not sure really how to introduce myself but im going to do my best. Im 25 im from Morristown, new jersey recently relocated near the beach in asbury park, new jersey. Growing up my parents split when i was 9 went to live with my dad. the split was hard because before i could live with dad mom made the 2 years it took for dad to get custody hell.Dad finally got but by then i was really depressed and had a lot of anxiety as a 11 year old. also suffered really bad migraines as a kid and still do . never played sports but dad got me paintball guns ,a quad and a dirt bike we weren't rich but dad had a settlement so he had spoiled me while he could.I have loved video games since i was a little kid and with my depression if i wasn't on my dirt bike i was playing halo till 3. I have been on depression medication since 13. It helps to a certain degree. i dropped out of high school my senior year because they pulled my credits for to many absences . At 17 i started using painkillers that were prescribed to me and ended up getting addicted. By 21 i was in state prison for selling the pills. I got my GED in prison and my act together. i was released April/14 and haven't looked back.i forgot to mention my father was a mechanic a very good one and taught me everything from body work to transmissions so his boss hired me when i got out.I ended up loosing my father 6 months after my release from prison. He was my best friend and father so that hit me so hard still does i ended up relapsing and using here and there until the day my daughter was born i stopped absolutely every thing. She is my everything. She makes me so happy.I thought i would never have kids but she was truly a gift from god. I am on disability for depression and my 2 herniated discs so i was trying to find a part time job and when i was looking i stumbled across the crypto market about 3 months ago and have just been look at each different coin and what not. I would to mine but im using a dell inspiron 1525 with a dual core.i think the steemit platform is awesome.I really do and i hope to meet some people who can teach me more about steemit and other alt coins because i am super interested and the more i learn the more i can spread. i think i covered alot if u have any other questions just ask
