Hello, everyone! Aaaah! Don’t be shy and let me give you a psychological hug. It’s like a psychical one, but without touching each other, nothing personal, it’s just the distance between us, you know xD. So, how do you feel today? I hope you are fine, guys. Right now, I’ve a combination of emotions. Firstly, I’m happy!, (you noticed, right? :D) and second, I feel a little bit like I’m going to destroy my laptop, haha. That’s because right now I’m writing without internet and yesterday I said that today in the morning I’ll upload THIS post, but now it’s almost 10am and my internet still dead… And why am I writing this in a different document? Obviously, it’s because I haven’t internet, but besides that, I want some time to express what I feel putting the “correct words”, not just write without thinking. Maybe you’re thinking that I’m exaggerating because I’m writing like I have tons of followers, but I know it, I know that many people here have more than that, and 100 followers is almost nothing… no, let me correct what I wrote, you ARE something, not just a number in my blog. So, I’m excited because I never had followers (I just have a Facebook account and it’s private so, nobody is able to follow me).

This is hard… so many things I want to say, but I feel that there aren’t enough words in the dictionary, haha. It's been a month since I joined to Steemit, and I ended up here because of a friend (@juliodes). If you don’t know I’m from Venezuela… yes, that chaotic country where people are immigrating to other countries because they can take it anymore and I don’t judge them (like some Venezuelans do), I would do the same if I could. So, he told me about this as a way to earn some money for me and my family, but why do not I look for a conventional job? It’s simple; the reality is that the Venezuela’s economy is so bad that having a job is not enough to live. But, I’m going to stop here because that is not the point of this post; I just wanted to let you know why I’m here, not for you feel sorry for me because I’m not the only one with struggles. There are so many problems in this world so, you SHOULD be thankful for what you have… I feel like I ruined the mood, haha. Sorry, guys!

STOP TALKING

WE ARE MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE! And I made this drawing especially for this occasion. I must to say that I found the inspiration on the word SPIRIT by @topkpop’s last week theme (she host a drawing contest every week). So, thinking about that word it immediately came to my mind a samurai warrior. I’m a fan of action movies, especially the ones with an Asian theme. That’s why I read a little bit about the history of different Asian countries like Japan. I like samurai’s convictions; honor and loyalty. No matter what happen, they will fight until they cannot move anymore; leaving behind their weapons and armors… It’s my belief that even if you soul leaves your body, you still exist in the hearts of those who remember you for what you were and what you did. Somehow, we are like a samurai warrior, everyone believes and fight for something. It’s a virtue to have a warrior soul to face adversity.

To finish, I just want to say THANK YOU because people like @intelliguy, @imnotasenuelo, @caleblailmusik, @kenny-crane, @noellesevilla,@melooo182 (and many others <3) have been supporting me, especially @timcliff that just like you, he don’t know me, but he has helped me A LOT. So, thank you, guys, I really appreciate it.

That's all for today!. Thank you so much for reading this. I guess I could have taken a picture, but since I don't like selfies, I'll leave you a picture of my sister and I when we were kids, haha.

Congrats on making a 100 followers! You seem to have the skills to pay the bills indeed. Samurai and pencil drawings make me weak...and you've got both! Followed :)

Keep on keeping on.

Thank you so much for becoming part of our blog. It's not just mine, it's yours because without anyone who sees and values ​​my work, nothing would make sense :D
