I do this for a few reasons. The main one is because it allows someone who is piss poor like myself to help others in a way not possible in the real world.

Years ago, one of my first posts I read on Steem was by a young man in Africa. He was posting a thank you post to share how blessed he was. He was able to buy a new pair of shoes and eat at a restaurant with is friends. because of his earnings on Steem. His life before Steem was one where one doesn't own new shoes or eat in a restaurant.

In my time at Steem. I was able to help many others, especially once I connected with Canbadian-Cocanut and her family protection project. It brought awareness to government kidnapping and child trafficking through CPS/foster care, and even better, helped to pay for food and diapers and utilities and such to some of our poorer families being targeted. They usually target poor families, which means in many cases single mothers because they don't have the resources to fight the childs kidnapping.

The second reason which is still huge is I've hated being enslaved since a young man. I've made many choices that have financially put me in a bad rut. I believe Blurt can be a door out of this possibly.

I think Blurt can be a way out for many of us. And with the added bonus that it allows a respect of speech and property. That last part alone is worth supporting as it's become increasingly difficult to speak openly or have ones property not have rules and limitations added atop them.

But yeah, I feel burnt out right now. Partially this new stupid job I have. I'm not faring so well at it, and actually had to call out last night (my first full week on the job). My body is broken and my mind sleep deprived, lol.
