Nope. I'm not going to let that asshole get to me.

I'll just bite my tongue. That asshole will not bring me down.

Here's my latest creation:

Sinking to the Bottom

I won't be talking about any assholes in this post.

^{Maybe have another look at the art.}

You'll notice how I continue to carry on like assholes don't exist. Nothing to see here. Just some art produced by one of Steemit's first artists who was 100% exclusive to the platform(still am too). Yup.

I'll never forget the day I discovered I was listed as one of the top five most rewarded artists on Steemit.

I honestly didn't know at the time how well things were actually going. I would get about $10 to $20 and sometimes but rarely $30 or more per post. There were quite a few posts of mine that earned a lot less. I was unfazed by that, for the most part. I just kept going, worked hard, and that was that. I was happy. When I saw those statistics that put me up there with the best, my confidence level went through the roof. I was ecstatic. More than that. My mind was blown. I honestly didn't know. I thought I was closer to the bottom of the pack.

I didn't let it go to my head.

^{I wrote a quick post about it and I haven't said a word about that since.}

How do I say, "I did good," without sounding like an asshole? How do I speak of my accomplishments without it sounding like I'm bragging?

I want people, here, to have the same opportunities I had. I want to see people succeed.

I can only do so much and I feel so goddamn powerless some days. I feel so fucking useless!

Yet I still try.

^{Have a look a this guy when you have a moment.}

Majority of his rewards came from my votes. I tried. He's not the only one either. I can't even get to everybody's posts. I miss posts and I feel bad. I feel like I've failed them.

I still try, I still vote, but all it takes is one fucking asshole to buy a vote which only bumps others down so they can move up because they think they're hot shit and deserve the fucking spotlight. They don't fucking think about anyone else but themselves! Slowly but surely those fucking assholes put everyone else out of business.

Selfish fucking bastards!

Just a bit of an update. Unfortunately, it's time for me to go. I keep forcing myself to stay. There are many things falling apart on this end for me. The things I can't change aren't the reason I need to go. It's a tough decision to make, it has to be made though. I'm tired. I said that already, I didn't rest, it's only getting worse. I'm fucking wiped, I gotta go. I'll still be voting while I'm quiet. Thanks for everything you folks have done for me. Peace.
