*In my time here I've done and said some good and bad things...
I'm not ashamed of any of it, it's here for all to see...*

It's probably no surprise to you that everything we do and say is being recorded into the Steem blockchain, and while you may be able to edit your posts up until 1st round of payouts, the original commit and everything changed also stays too...

It also gives us security and insurance in knowing that all of our data entered is backed up by thousands of computers on the network...

### Armed with this knowledge, I consider everything greatly before I post it. 

***Have I done my best to put my points across as concisely as possible?***
***Could I do more here to improve it?***
***How will this go down?***
***Will it trend, or get good revenue?***
***How will this affect my Reputation Score?***
***Will I be able to build an audience on this?***

I want to be known here for being a writer. I used to be good at it, always getting top marks for my creative and investigative writing skills. Sure, I always turned in my papers late, but they'd blow your socks off! With your support, I've grown to accept a lot of the parts of myself I thought I could change, and also found a lot of myself that I thought I lost...

This place has given me a newfound purpose and motivation. It's exactly what I wanted in my life and it couldn't have come at a better time... The next few weeks will be a trial in pain and suffering on my part, as I undergo facial surgery that's long overdue, in an attempt to save my life...

I'll try to remain active as much as possible and give you positive stuff, but I certainly can't promise that...

#### What I can promise, however.

Is that I'll always be honest. I'll always put in my best, and try to help others as much as I can.

But for me, the most important promise is that I'll always keep what I write up here, regardless of how it goes down, pre-payout...

Thank you all for being there for me, my appreciation for you all is unable to be put into words...

Time for me to get some much needed sleep.
Til next time,
