420 FOLLOWERS!! Thank you my loves <3

I almost didn't post this, cause it feels weird to boast. BUT HEY. I've been a part of some pretty cool stuffs here and I'm proud. Flabbergasted, in fact, and would love to thank a few peeps that have made my journey special. Just a few months ago I didn't even know what a blockchain was. What an incredible community. Thank you for teaching me about the wonderful world of crypto.

Its been a wild ride! After posting a few posts and receiving no upvotes, I learned about Hive account@minnowsupport and was graced by votes from Hive account@sweetsssj and Hive account@teamsteem on my Steemit Rap. * Hiphop turntable scratches *
Miss Delicious has been an infinite source of inspiration and motivation.

Then, even though I didn't win, curators: Hive account@curie and Hive account@hendrikdegrote voted on my first Steemit Open-Mic entry, making over $100 bucks! Much love to them and Hive account@luzcypher / Hive account@pfunk for hosting that amazing contest and to all the talented contestants.

I won the first ever #kareokecontest by Hive account@killerwhale with my ridiculous fake piano playing, and learned about and joined Hive account@thealliance! Alliance HAH! *Ninjas shuffle *

And then I won $1500 in delegation from Hive account@aggroed and Hive account@stellabelle on Hive account@msp-waves!! I was floored. I fell down.

It has been a thrill thus-far and I'm so excited for the adventures to come.
Thank you to everyone who has helped make me a become,
or at least — feel like, a small part of this big blocky world.
