Hello dear Steemians!
Before arriving here I worked in an office of public accountants, because that is my profession and what I devoted to study for more than 5 years,, but the situation of my country Venezuela was worsening substantially, my salary really did not reach me for my basic expenses and my environment gradually became more grey, to see how people suffer, the number of malnourished children, the cruel tortures and the abuse of the authorities in the protests, the great amount of injustices we are being Living now, and finally seeing as little by little my friends were emigrating, every farewell was heartbreaking, these things I was plunged into a depressive state. I was broke!
At the end of August last year @deverons I was talking about steemit, but I couldn't believe what he was saying, do you really get paid to publish? For my "I" pessimistic and closed was crazy, but after I saw publications of profiles like @donkeypong and @sweetsssj I encourage me to try.
As everyone has happened, I had a chaotic start and quickly I could realize that it was not going to be easy, I started to draw again after 12 long years, although I still did not get votes I really started to enjoy... was Doing something I loved to paint, people's comments encouraged me to continue, was Doing something I loved, paint, people's comments encouraged me to continue, and I stopped seeing Steemit as a source of income to see it as a place where I could share what I knew how to do.
As I read and appreciated the post of other users and the warmth that is felt here, I was able to avert the difficulties of my head,, although the problems remain there, I could take refuge in the art and continue progressing every day, and thanks to the support of my followers I am still I have a long way to go, but I'm not giving up and I hope you don't either.
I want to thank those people who have been an important part of that change, somehow they have become valuable friends, and have made my stay here more enjoyable, especially to:
