Greetings, my friend. I must say that your initial experience was actually very challenging in the beginning. And it has really taught you how to be patient. Having to wait for a whole 19 days for your post to be verified must have been very challenging and would’ve made you to give up. But it’s very beautiful to know that you didn’t. And like you said, patience is key instrument. My post was verified the same week I joined, helped me to keep on pushing. I had a challenge of not getting votes initially, but I was told that consistency is key in the platform. Sometimes I was discouraged and complained but I kept on pushing and today I’m glad I did not give up. It’s good to know that you did not give up too, and I know that Steemit is a beautiful place to be, and we would make the most of it, I wish you success in the engagement.
