There came like a timeline; before and after steemit. Was it before steemit? :-) and then we mean your own time you got to know steemit. For me, this was half Octobre 2017, I heard about it on the radio, while we drove in the car, and I thought, writing and showing things going on in your life and earning money with it? I have to try and so I did. Now I must say the beginning was like absolutely dream time, I came in, I think steem was 0.92 and I saw my dollar going up so fast, and then I learned Steem dollar was even more worth converted to steem! In December even nearly 6 times as much, so I had the benefits of a quick growth I think. I started telling everyone about it, but no one seems to listen! only my daughter @wanderingkells my son @james-hugo his friend who has a account, but does not do anything yet. And my best friend @vee2180 listened and came to joy me on steemit. I told people around me, djee steem is going up in euro it is no this much... and their answer was keep quiet I still cannot by a bread of steem! I proved them wrong! I wrote over to dodge and from dodge to euros in my account, only 20 euro, because I see investing in myself still the biggest earn. Could not live without it, this moment of my life. But not for that reason! I just love the new people that i met, all the contests, going on, all the pictures, + the joy of searching your own pictures again :-) I am writing again in freewrites, things I did not feel free to do at facebook, because all your friends have their own opinion. I thought I would write it as a comment because how nice I find it on steemit, can be said in a few words, but it still took a bit more than that!
