RE: I would appreciate it! A ticket to a wedding.
Well, that's great that you want to go to a wedding and all - and you want Steemians to help crowd-fund you. I wish you good luck!
I would like to finally have my own place. I've never had one and I'd like for my wife and I to have a house. Can you help me to crowd-fund that project?
Well. I am sure you will be able to make it. Steemit has done a lot for me. I have been able to get the income I need to survive from the platform. I am sure in the future I will not need to make a funding post for such things as weddings. In fact, I have not funded any other of my things because I generally do see this platform as creating quality content = payment. This is something I really want though and earning-wise I might not be there yet, unfortunately.
I hope your house comes along! Steemit community is ready to give as long as you give yourself. I am sure you can make it, too. It is a journey but it is a fruitful one. At least when my heart is in it! :)
Right now, I can give you a vote here. I hope that helps, even if just a little. And I wish you the greatest success in your own field. So one day you have enough to have your own house :)
Thanks. Honestly, I was a little upset by your original post. It sort-of seemed like "begging," so my response was somewhat of a satire. Truth is, we really know very little about each other here on SteemIt - only what we tell each other - and I have no right to judge the request you have made in your post. Excuse me for my sarcasm. Weddings really are an important, once-in-a-lifetime (hopefully) event. I will never forget mine - all of the emotions and family and friends there to support us. I wish you well in your efforts to be there for your friends.
I gave you a resteem.
I know what you mean. And I understand where you are coming from. I got the overall tone as well. For some people this will be an unreasonable request just because we all know that most come here and expect payment on some level. And, there are a lot of people who just want to milk the cow until it is dry.
I get how this request might seem like something that does not benefit the platform as a whole. I wasn't sure of making this post just for that reason. I had to evaluate all of it and, if it was just a trip, I would most definitely not make a post on steemit about it. I am not the kind of person to just ask for things. I earn what I want to achieve. I work till I am able to afford it. But it is true. It is a wedding. And I hope and don't think that there is going to be a second one for Nik. I also was not sure if I could make it.
I would never knowingly do anything to hurt this platform as it has given me the opportunity to do what I truly love. Write my stories and improve my craft. When I joined, I was lost but because of the doors that I found/were given to me I know clearly what I want to build my future on. This is my kind of place and I try to do the best I can.
Thank you for the help! I do appreciate it. And you probably will not see me reaching out to ask for anything else for a long while. I can promise that with confidence because it is not really my kind of thing to do. :)
Best wishes!
