**I'm Back!** My year-long hiatus

Hi everyone!

I'm back on Steemit after what seems like just about a year exactly, and man, what a year it's been! Luckily mostly ups lately. To be honest, I took a step back from Steemit, as things seemed kind of pessimistic in the crypto world. At that time, I was just finishing up a contract at my last job, being really unhappy with that company and wanting to freelance (write, teach online, DJ, etc) and do my own thing, my way. At the same time, the Steemit platform wasn't fairing too well either and opted to start powering down.

Well, come June 2019, an opportunity came to teach at a Canadian school here in Thailand and the benefits, pay, and support from the management has been great! Suddenly, doing my own thing didn't seem like such a priority anymore. Good environment, happy employees. A week ago, my good friend Hive account@vandigital came to pay a visit in Bangkok and reignited my fire to get in the crypto game again, and I figured, why not, a making a few bucks in my free time wouldn't hurt. :)

I poured all of my STEEM back into my SP, and now here I am again. To make a long story short, I will be back on here making my usual thoughts and occasional reviews on music and culture, but on a more casual basis. That is, not shitting out everything I have on my mind for a deadline. As I look back on my previous posts, I noticed that, aside from the Hive account@hhtb articles I was writing, my last post from this page was a review on Manudigital (my favorite Reggae producer) and coincidently, the weekend before Hive account@vandigital popped by, I saw Manudigital perform here in Bangkok. So everything eventually came full circle.

A few things have changed on this platform in the past year. If there is anything you can give me tips, pointers, advice, or reassurance with, please let me know so I can be in this with you, as a part of the community once again.
Thanks and One Love!
