NERVES OF STEEM - T-SHIRT THERAPY - NERrVeS of STEELsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

I've had a hard climb out of HELL ON EARTH and all the hard work I put in to get out is starting to pay off.
As an artist my work has not been plentiful in these dark times. An artist strips naked when they offer their art works to the public. Also, I couldn't imagine anyone who would want my dark creations and being so vulnerable I didn't want anyone seeing me so low in life. Most of my life {after I escaped my childhood monsters) I was picking up the pieces and putting myself together. I refused to recycle the crappy protgrams from my early life and did all I could to stop it.

NOW IS THE TIME to come out of the Darkness and into the LIGHT and boy does it feel good.

Back in my dark ages I thought I didn't have a voice. Notice there is no mouth. This was my sad attitude towards life and people. "Not only do people not listen but they don't listen to themselves." I would like to change this to "NOT ONLY DO SOME PEOPLE NOT STEEM THEY DON'T EARN MONEY FOR THEIR TIME ONLINE."

I want to thank the community of Steemit for their kindness and support. I never knew I had the mind for understanding cryptocurrency or creating a prosperous life from my talents, so. . . . .
HERE I AM > BUCKLED UP > OFF ON A WILD RIDE > STEEMIT TO THE MOON AND BEYOND!

yes. It's many things, can't put my finger on all of them.. Thank you

I can't believe i missed this post, out of the darkness and into the light. it's never to late to make that transition.
when you've been down there is only one way left to go, up!
You are steemit, you breath steemit, you bring a sense of community to steemit and i see you're name in light's my friend.

If my name is going to be in lights > I better get ready for...

The paradox of life is that we have to know that darkness to appreciate the light. Just wake up everyday and tell yourself that it feels good to be alive and you know what happens next already. It's never worth going back there, but on the flip-side it never hurts to remind ourselves of why we don't go back either. <3

So true. I find it hard to put personal stuff out there for people to read. I definetly need to work through this idea people see me as something else than if I never revealed the whole story. It doesn't seem to bother me if I share to help an individual but, revealing the whole "keep a secret" thing needs to be kicked out of me. Thank you, @clayboyn
Also, I can't find posts from a couple of months a go > Can you tell me how to get them?

With steemit you have to go to a user's page and just scroll forever or search engine luck

I will continue to do that but I reached the end several times and couldn't find it. Is that a bug?

Oh wow, lol I responded while half asleep earlier I see. Okay depending on what your using, you just keep scrolling until there aren't anymore. I find with a desktop PC I can always get to the bottom. With a mobile sometimes I get stuck on an infinite load loop before I hit the bottom because it's like a memory overload or something.

So ... even tho I can't see my intro it's still on steemit?

Yes some other users are saying that they are having trouble scrolling all the way down right now too. I think it's scaling up faster than steemit inc thought so they are going to have to up the servers.

The thing that's different about steemit is that your info and stuff you upload to the "website" is stored on the blockchain. The website itself is just a portal that is relaying the information from the blockchain and right now it's getting overloaded. If they don't fix it then anyone could make a different website called "newsteem" or something and add way more servers and do the exact same thing.

OK can I change it so it's not an intro?

Are you looking for one of mine? If so just remind me what it's about and I'll find it.

Light is just inverted darkness, keep them balanced, the right contrast reveals the whole picture. As for the hell part, fist place is taken hehe

Wow. Thank you for that perspective. This truth is helpful. Yes keeping the balance is sometime hard. I definetly have to slow down. I will have to chew on this for awhile to let it sink in.
"As for the hell part, fist place is taken' Can you tell me more about this. I don't get it.

It means I know hell best.

lol I see. That's a hard position to hold. I don't envy you.

Welcome and nice work.
My grandmother used to call me pitterpatter as a young child.
Steem on! & I follow you now :)

Thank you for the compliment. Your grandmother sounds like a loving person. The name pitterpatter came from better times for me i see it did for you too.

It's hard to like this enough. You have a new follow. May your work prosper.

Thank you so much for your comment. I never know how people will take me knowing my story. Your comment means more than you can know. I had nightmares last night after posting. I know how powerful it is to stand up and tell my story but WHY do it again, all the old negative programed putdowns came back. . . and on and on it goes. Meditation helps get my reality back. Even if people never get my story I'm going to be OK. I don't have to please everyone. I've attempted to shared my story before but never stuck around after that. I thought I was a quitter. The first intro I got through and a friend help me to see I needed to stick it out. My success here is helping to change my bad habits > I am learning a lot about myself on Steemit and it's not just about cryptoccurrency. THANK YOU.

And I needed to hear this. I got up this morning as down as I've been in a long time, and I've spent the morning just gritting my teeth and saying "I will not quit. I will not give up. I will never stop trying." Over and over. Your reply helped.

Stick with it. Never stop trying. You've got a friend who's rooting for you.

I hear you on that bigtime, now you both have a friend rooting for you...choppy waters, I know

Ohmy. This is powerful and you speak the truth. We are not quitters. I have your back. When you post leave a comment with your link in my most recent post. I will check your post out. I try to vote for HQ posts so I am sure to give you 100% vote. Steemers care.

@cristof @pitterpatter , I'll do the same as much as possible, having upvotes but not hardly any resteems so being little 3 amigos squads help when u have things in common, steem on!

I use to resteem all the time but since I have so many I can't find my posts so I cut back until I can find them I resteemed today to support them and I will for you but I need help to find my 1st introduction. Can someone help me with that?

I htink if you go into your comments or reply section, forget which off the top of my head...has your posting history so you may have to scroll waaaaayyyy down but is should be there

Thanks ... I will try to do that again. Maybe it was a bug when I did it a couple times before.

Hey it worked! NO introduceyourself. I didn't know you could do that. THANKS!

I take that back. Old tags are back :( introduceyourself . The edited portion worked but not thetags.

Welcome to this awesome community! Also I really like that gif (upvote follow resteem) Did you make it? And can I use it ?
