Great post, and you do deserve congratulations even if you don't want it.
You have stuck it out on Steemit, it isn't the get rich quick many newer members are imagining or maybe were told.
Little by little we grow, we must remember that most of the whales have been here a year and invested real money and a Sh!tload of hard, yes HARD work to get there.
Thank you for sharing your reality of life in Steemit.
