Man, I feel you. It has been 11 years since I started to write. Wrote over 700 entries in my own blog, in my own language. Never earned a dime, because I didn't really care about it. I just love to write. That's what I do, that's what I am and will always be.

When I first found Steemit it blew my mind. I thought and still think the concept itself is perfect. I can understand why some people leave this place, but real writers would never do that. Though it is not easy to write in foreign language, but I consider it to be a practice which, I must say, works very well.

Being featured in Curie is awesome, had this pleasure a couple of times. But what I admire the most is that I can be honest here and talk about stuff that matters to me and stuff I can't discuss anywhere else that much. This community knows it's sh*t and I'm proud to be part of it. Learned so much since December, it's crazy.

If you won't make all of this about money, you'll have a blast. So Steem on!
