I had been telling a few friends and family members I wanted to pursue art and writing, again.

Wasn't sure how I'd go about it, this time. Wanted to do something new, something fresh, new name (someone took all the names).

And that was it really. Just a thought in my brain for a couple weeks. I had a bit of time. Was kinda starting fresh after a disastrous period of my life that didn't last long, thankfully, but it was long enough. I was watching Youtube, just chilling, doing nothing.

Went outside for a cigarette. Came back in. Youtube autoplay was already doing it's thing feeding my laptop some randomness. People I never heard of were talking about Steemit, briefly, like for a minute during a half hour video, at the exact moment I sat down. The link was in the description. I clicked and signed up.

That's about it. September 20, 2016.

And I'm still here, because I like it here. No need to write a post about it. I probably already mentioned it somewhere. Plus I suck at following directions and prompts.

First exposure to crypto? Nope. And the crypto part had nothing to do with why I signed up. To this day, sure, I own some crypto and understand what's going on, but that part of the brain gets stored and I don't use it much. It's just money.
