I couldn't believe either when I reached 500 but then I treated each hundred as a milestone because I was not really talented, I didn't write epic posts, I did not create unique travel posts or cooked exotic meals, I did not have awesome adventures.

It was just me and often my memories that I shared or the experiences I had in Steemit.

You took a very innovative way of writing your celebration and we tend to think of ourselves as great fuck ups indeed.

I maybe one of the biggest and like you I walked a thousand miles, read self help books, at one point tried to kill myself ( 2 times actually) gotten hold of a shrink and been in those help groups saying "Hi I am Mave and I am clinically depressed and suicidal"
Then I found writing and that helped. I joining the semi colon project and did charity works. So that I may share my life that twice I almost ended.

I am still not okay but at least I don't think of ending it most days because I am too busy seeing awesome Steemians change their lives and the life of others.
