@malloryblythe, thanks for sharing your story and thoughts about the project. You are absolutely right, @curie gives you the hope and proof that blogging on Steemit works. And it can fetch you real money in the long run. Most people are here to make a quick buck but people who hold onto it the most at the starting, they get rewarded for sure in the future.

You can actually help the project right now as well, by creating and curating good content yourself. ANd of course making such great comments, just like you did on this post. Cheers! :-D
