Who's heard this term before?
I've seen it a few times these last few weeks.
I don't know everyone's situation, but I will tell you mine.
When I came here in June 2017, I will be honest and say I got here because I wanted to learn about crypto.
However as you guys know, it fast became more than that for me, and I found myself dreaming about the world changing into a better place with Steemit leading the way.
With that vision clearly in my mind, I began to devote all my time, effort, emotions into Steemit from helping different communities to hands on helping Steemians new and old.
This meant I have ZERO time for my own business as I threw myself into the platform and it's various communities.
This also meant I am earning ZERO money with my business and Steemit has become my livelihood.
I have been very lucky to have gotten the support I have this far and it has enabled me to still be able to provide for my family AND continue doing what I love, which is helping the Steemit community.
As much as I love Steemit, and enjoy my time here, without the support I receive it is not a viable option for me to continue it full time as I have these past 7 months.
Without your continued support I won't have any other choice but to re focus on my business and scale down my time, efforts and commitment to Steemit.
This is just life.
We do what we have to do to survive.
If you look at my wallet you will see, aside from 1 test cash out back in October (for my birthday) I always powered up.
With the Move and everything involved with it. I cashed out.
Do I feel bad?
Yes I do. I know my Steem Power could be used to help so many
But you know what? I also don't feel bad.
I have put in countless hours on here. I have made countless more graphics for numerous groups and individuals, always NEVER charging.
In fact I have a list a mile long of people who want footers for SteemPh and TeamAustralia, and I also have a very kind gentleman who has been waiting for his logo for the last 3 weeks.
My Steemit career is full and flat out, and forgive me if I feel I deserve to cash out instead of powering up like I usually do.
So many people are casting judgement on people cashing out.
Before you do, please consider that others may be in the same boat as me.
💗 Arly
PS. My undying gratitude to those who continuously support me. You are the reason I can keep being here.
