My mom grew up in Chino Hills, so I was able to connect with your story of Upland / Palm Springs, etc.

"Our time was spent relaxing; something I haven’t managed to do in over a decade. The pace of my life, especially over the last six years, has been an exercise in burnout inducing hustle just to stay afloat. Be it money, opportunities or conditioning, I almost never turn down work." I have a high level of confidence that crypto and in this case Steem is going to solve most if not all of that problem, allow you to break away from the 'conditioning.'

Keep up the good fight !
