Elegantly flowing piano music, chirping birds, overcast skies, a view of the woods outside my window, and complete solitude bring me peace.
I am such a mystery to some people.
They don't understand that when the weekend comes, I want to be far away from people, not engaged in social activities. They don't understand that a trip to Wal-Mart is as uncomfortable as a visit to the dentist to get a cavity filled. They don't understand that a crowded bar disgusts me and nearly gives me an anxiety attack. They don't understand that even though I am a Christian, I find it extremely difficult to congregate at a church, put a false smile on my face, and pretend life is perfect.
How Steemit Could Help.
Although I pour out my feelings in some of my posts here on Steemit, I still have a degree of anonymity and privacy. I am not being judged by my outward appearance or what clothing I wear. I don't have to shake hands, smile, and make empty small talk like everywhere else in this shallow world.
I don't have ambitions of being extravagantly wealthy. I only wish to free my family of our bondage to debt, and help some other people with financial struggles. I believe Steem has that potential. I have the opportunity to be free and openly creative here on Steemit, and I get rewarded for it. How amazing is that? There is far more opportunity here than at my daytime job.
And if the price of Steem takes off like we all hope...
Many of us won't have to show up to a mundane day job and be someone's puppet any longer. We can pay off debts, take more vacations, and live a life of freedom, exciting new experiences, and less stress. So let's keep Steeming ahead and see where we end up!
