This might sound a bit sad, to congratulate myself for becoming 27 years old; but I do need to accept that I'm getting older :D
Unlike all my other posts I'm going to be brief on this one, I want to say thanks to my mom for giving birth to me and thanks to all my family and friends for being there with me. Thanks to everyone here on Steemit who have supported me so far, I hope that I haven't betrayed your expectations so far.
If today isn't an special day for you, then make it a special day, don't let your life become a cycle; live each day to the fullest, there is only one birthday per year, but there are 364 non birthdays every year, celebrate them, enjoy them and share the happiness around you!
I like to keep things tidy and related to the post, so since this post is about my birthday I can freely speak my support to several great communities out there and thank them:
The first community I want to say thanks is PAL, or the Minnow Support Project. Thanks to you guys for being so nice and for spreading so much love in Steemit. Join here if you haven't already: https://discord.gg/HYj4yvw
The third one I want to personally thank is the steemIT central community, don't look down on them just because of the small image, I couldn't really find any bigger image from them... they're small and setting up house now, but precisely because they're a small community it's leader @clausewitz can make a good effort with the members; no trolls, no scammers, a nice place to stay every now and then. If you want to join this newbie community with great potential, please do so here: https://discord.gg/aaNEqzC
There are many other communities out there that I'm slowly discovering and I'm sure that by my next birthday the list of thanks will be a LOT longer... But I do need to say special thanks to several specific persons, so...
- @creativesoul: AKA sunflower. Thanks for speaking so much with me and for giving me hope. I know you're suffering a lot with your health and I'm grateful that you decide to spend so lot of your time with me :D. I was actually very disappointed with steemit and considered leaving it (I'm still considering it), but speaking with you and the other persons in this list changed my mind a bit. You deserve the top since you were the first to reach out to me in a private fashion, and it's doubly valuable since it's hard to do so with your health condition.
- @poeticsnake: AKA snekky. This girls is so much fun to be around, and her community is fun. The reason I want to personally thank her isn't related to those things, but to the fact that she gave me a fair chance to become a curator even though I'm just a minnow, that's pure altruism and something I respect in her. Thanks for everything, snekky!!!
- @kristyglas: AKA dragongirl. This girl is an artist, and a good one at that. I like the fact that she draws dragons (who doesn't like dragons?) and she's pretty honest and good with all who follow her.
- @clausewitz: No AKA for him, sadly... I want to personally thank him for being so nice and educated. We've spoken several times on his discord server and I've learned quite a bit from him; let it be written on the blockchain, thanks.
- @graylan: AKA the active developer. Thanks for being such a dedicated colleague and friend to everyone in PAL. I remember your attitude when Chris had a bad time and I remember your attitude trying to help me with my censored internet. You went the extra mile to help me out and while I don't have much to give, I can at least give you my thanks... so thanks!
What about you who read this post? Is there a particular community you like, are there special persons you'd like to say "thanks for being part of my life"?
As always, kind regards and have a nice day!
