I have never made a milestone post before. Because I wasn't ready to see the day I reach my targets. So imagine my giddiness when i woke up today and see my Steem wallet.

_{It's not everyday where one grinds literally from 0 to a 4 figure SP numbers.}

Hey Steemians, My friends!

before we start, some tunes to set the mood.

Milliarium

noun /Latin/

From the etymology of mīlle (“thousand”) and‎ -ārium ("of purpose")

When i started almost 3 months ago to the day (my Steemit birthday is April 4th 2017), I was imagining myself climbing to my baseline SP in 2 years time, slowly.. slowly. Despacito. A few weeks in I'm beginning enjoy the process, the process of writing, seeing people write, peeking into people's life. It wasn't long before i got up from bed, check my replies, go to my wallet and see the number i wasn't ready to meet. Wasn't ready in a good way.

One Thousand Steem Power, the beginning of the beginning for my journey

I am born in a circumstance where I am not able to invest in what I believe in, every SP made is one from sweat. Back when I first started, after reading the white paper, it just clicked. I found a way to change my life.

Personally I believe i set myself very high personal standards, it's kinda why my life is so hard. I'd like to say It's why I post so little, but then we'd all know I'm kidding 😂 (as if my writing is top-tier gold). There is still so much ahead of me, in fact ahead of all of us. It's why I love this place so much. There is no room for stagnation, there is always growth and growth is what i want and what we all should get.

I couldn't do it without you

I'm only where I am today because first and foremost, It was given to me. I am awarded because you gave it to me. You decided that my post is good enough that you voted for me to get a share of the Steem rewardpool. You decided that my effort and content is worth it. Thank you so much...

Thank you for being with me in my start, from my very first day to now right this moment, what I would call MY VERY START. The moment that i would look back to 3 years from now as hindsight. You are here and you support me. Thank you.

I promise that I'll be here in the long term. It's my goal to make myself better everyday. If i can improve consistently by 1% every day, I'll be 36 times better in one year time. Here's to 1% improvement each day.

I'm @awesomianist

Stay Awesome!
