Ask me how I am, please. Ask how my Tuesday is unfolding like despite that irritating episode of painful eyes earlier in the day.
Have you asked?
My Tuesday is full of African sunshine and too much love from all of you. About 19 hours ago, an amazing soul behind an amazing project decided I should have the honor of being the next minnow. The said soul 
I am too grateful and humbled to describe the feeling of getting somewhere I have been working so hard for the last two-three months to get to. I joined Steemit on 15th June last year and the journey to where I am has not been a smooth one.
I knew nothing about blockchain and all I wanted what to see if a Facebook ad by Jerry Banfield I was watching at 2 am was true. Within a few weeks, I had realized what he was selling wasn't what Steemit was all about. I got mad at myself for being so 'hopeful' and drifted in and out of something I thought was interesting.
Every time I would log back in, I would see those I follow were still posting something getting comments and better rewards... I felt lost as I didn't engage much with the community I expected so much from. I also wasn't following whales back then apart from the man who introduced me to Steemit, how sad right? Lol.
In my drifting in and out, I read something on my wall that made me discover #steemchat and there I found some souls who willingly started support and encourage me to stay around more. Though I still couldn't stick around that much due to instability in real life, I started posting a bit more.
Fast forward and everyone I joined this community around the same time with started posting one year anniversaries (which I never did...) My SP was at 231 and I wasn't ready to call it my achievement after a year of lagging behind. I wanted to do better so I started working harder and supporting those trying to rise like I am.

Due to their help and the support of so many awesome Steemians, I am now eligible for this amazing push that has already started.
I have shared this to encourage and motivate anyone who has felt that their journey here has been slow and rough. My only hope is they can hang on to this growing community. Working hard is one of the crucial necessities of rising here, there are no shortcuts. The other is interacting as much as one as interaction brings exposure and exposure comes with more visits to one's work.
Again... Thank you so much for this
♡♡♡
