I am also new on steemit. You know.. as i were member of facebook i never shared stories, gave someone likes or posted anything. I love that feeling that my "like", excuse me, "upvote" supports you with a little amount of cryptocurrency, so you can live your dreams, love your family and continue what you're doing. It feels like I could really honor that you touched me with your story and your thoughts. My like isn't useless anymore. It's a like to say 'thank you' for your interesting story that connects people all over the world imaging how you feel emigrating to another country. TY! :)
