I am living my dream life, i'm 23 years old I work for myself and I get to do what I love full time every single day and on top of that I get paid for it... So regardless of how many subscribers I have, regardless of how much I make and regardless of the superficial things I still get to do what I love to do every single day and that's something I do not take for granted.. I never believed I could fall in love with writing, there was a time when I never wanted to do everything I do at this moment, like how could I have falling in love with what I just got used to doing.. and this wouldn't be possible if I had not quit school..

You probably dont know much about me and my story.. I'm going to start off at mid 2021 around June and at that time I had about 5 subscribers on readcash and which I know it's crazy to think about giving the number of subscribers I have at the point of posting this.. but I was doing things that I wasn't necessarily excited about, just a lot of stuffs that didn't really reflect me as a person. And this was a stressful time in my, coz not only was I doing that creating content that I didn't love but I was working and schooling at the same time. Trying to balance my schedule, I wasn't taking control of my time.. Like I said just a lot of stress and then the turning point occurred..

Let's pause little bit, me quitting was all true but I never went on with it…

I got you there, so I basically had that in mind though. The fact that blogging makes us feel something special, makes me want to fully dedicate my time and attention to it.. what would having a full time experience, creating content all day.. but just experiencing and owning my time in creating content even though that I didn't enjoy these content like making it, I was still excited that I had to make content every day I fell deeply in love with being here..

Despite my change in perspective, I still had my obligations to go back to school and keep doing the things I do.. I really had negative energy for school because I wanted it all for myself and just have the connection I needed here.. Then what a day in life would look like for me staying here full time and making the little impacts, that was a crazy idea.. School is very important and this could be a side chain income to help me cater for my needs and not a permanent place to be in or make as my primary earning stream..

Now despite all of this logical fallacies and this feeling between where I see myself and where I am and the logical path to get to where I want to go, would be to keep my head up straight and continue everything I do presently.. Money sort of intoxicates and you would really make a hasty decision if one isn’t careful.. Why would I literally want to stop schooling?" You may be wondering what this boy is on right now, but that was what I leaned towards sometime this year..

“Have you had this feeling of quitting everything just to do what you love?"

I really had to transcend my new me back to my old me, was when I had a rethink..

Well my full appreciation goes to everyone who had built these walls and have kept it for some years now. Thank you for the lives that have been saved, the help it has given the communities out there and the chance to make new friends. I'm showing this little appreciation, coz I never would have imagined myself among amazing writers and story tellers.

**Thank you for always walking with me through my journey.. its my nonsensical article if that’s the word, but if we don’t show gratitude for what we’ve accomplished then I think we are ungrateful.. For a fact that you can save this and it grows from time to time, that’s enough.. **

Happy New Year

Thank you for posting in my community! I'm sure you had many people surprised, considering the title of your post, but reading on I can see you did not... (and maybe that's why you did, to see if others paid attention... outstanding). From your post:

Indeed, you are correct. There is an ambiance to the blockchain, that pulls many people in. Sure... the first thing many see is money. But there is more than that; engagement, community, learning... truly the definition of the "perfect job". The only thing I would suggest is to be sure and source your images correctly. I see above you have provided a link, but it does not take you to the image and creator. I searched for a while trying to find the exact image, but instead, would offer this as an example...

I hope this helps to provide you with some positive energy, and constructive criticism... I want everyone to succeed!!

Hello again! Your image source is close, but rather than taking you to the source, it instead comes up as a download. If you would provide me with the link to the image, I will try to help you get it sorted!

Still coming up as a download. Try this... When you are at the screen at Pexels showing the image and creator. Copy the address from the address bar. Then... come back to your post, and type the following in the editor:

[Source](Paste that link you copied from address bar)

Again, if you'd rather, just share the actual link, and I will try to help 🤞

I would need the actual "website link" for the image. Not just the image, my friend...
