Hello brother!

This is my first day off steemit for the last 2 months, meaning i spent every day of my life posting on steemit since the 15th of January .
And as you can see I am not really as "off" as I would like to be !

I have already done all of what you asked for, prior to the contest haha , so i don't know If I am elligible, and maybe that's a good thing !

When I had my first payout on Steemit, I cried a little and took a picture of the reward, sent it to my wife and she cried too. I guess we're a bit too emotional, but I think it was because it meant that finally someone was giving me a hand, in my musical career, or at least that's how it felt like after the first massive payout.

My advice to you , is directed to you , and won't be a generic one like "believe in yourself" or "dream big" .

What I will say to you my dear friend, is to embrace the person that you have started to become since you poured your story out there.
You noticed that people love your stories because they come from the heart, and somehow , I can't explain how or why (you lucky bastard), you have the gift of reaching people with your words, sharing your life, even if it means showing off your scars and the tragedies that life brings.

So my advice is to embrace it , embrace the pain, embrace what makes us all imperfect and flawed.
And the second advice would be to myself and other that started getting a taste of success from steemit: Don't think of the outcome once your created something, and don't be over critical with yourself if you didn't "get paid" as much as you would have liked to.

Don't look at how much "this guy"or "this one" is making, because it will just drive you crazy and drag you down in a downward spiral of negativity , be just thankful of what you have and start giving back like our friend Hive account@theessential is doing, IT FEELS GOOD

My advice for bigger visibility on the post reverse the title:
Win Up to 10 SBD by Reading my introduction or you will figure out something you're a smart dude haha

So people see the SBD , when you scroll down the feeds half of the title is cut sometimes
