Aside from the whole being miserable working a job I hated thing, I am starting to see the time investment wasn't wasted blogging. I had to do it either way to work on my mental health and spiritual growth, but I decided to share this process in the hopes that others could benefit. Obviously this route isn't for everyone, but I really felt like I had to do it this way. I felt that call and I had the faith to follow my intuition and as of today I can see that quitting my job to do so was a net gain in every way.
If you want a steemit success story, it doesn't get any more real than this. I used the platform for the last two months as my actual job. It never felt like work, I was never a top author and I only broke the top 100 curation a few times, but I have made more money than I could have at the job that I hated. What's more important than that though is sharing these stories and experiences as well as the connections I have made saved my life. Thanks steemit and everyone that uses the platform, you all helped just by having faith in our ability to create a different choice. Namaste.
