Hi there my name is Dorian. I'm fairly new to Steemit. I really love this platform and the whole vibe of this site. Can't wait untill Steemit gets their own mobile app.(This next link is a picture of me about 6 hours after I created my account on Steemit.)

So I'm really excited about Steemit but the people I try to tell about aren't. There like "your only making a couple dollars here and there." A lot people don't see the potential. I honestly wanted to get a group of Steemit friends I actually know but everyone seems to think its a waste of time. They're loss I guess. So here's a lil about me.
Im 25 year old mixed male born on 04-13-1992 in Mount Clemens MI/U.S. I lived in Mount Clemens as a young child up until I was around 10 years old. I ended up having to move to my moms cuz my step dad starting doing herion with his new girlfriend.(This next picture is a picture of my step dad)

Living with my dad was awesome, besides the fact he had a drug proble. I was rich as a kid and got everything I wanted. Disney trips, went Lego Land, you name it. Poke'mons, tons of video games, I had it all. Then my mom found out my dad was doing herion and I moved in with her in New Baltimore MI/U.S. She lived in a trailer park and was pretty broke. That type of lifestyle I was not use too so I started acting out.
I developed angry issues and I started stealing. I couldn't buy the things I wanted, so I took them instead. Before I knew it I was smoking weed and breaking into cars. Gradually moved up to stealing them as well and ended up going to prison at 18 with a kid on the way.(This is a picture of my daughter when she was 4)

So growing up in Mount Clemens as a child I skateboarded when the world was to much to handle.
My dad probably did herion for about 2 and half years before he went to prison. I stop skating for a while but I'm back at it and better then ever!(This link is a picture of me doing a 360 flip)

Once I started getting locked up (which started as a juvielle) I started rapping. Being locked up pushed me towards music and so I also rap. It was the only way I knew to get things off my chest. Music was and still is my therapist.(Here's a link to a song I recorded in 2014)

So pretty much what I'm trying to get at is that through these hard struggles you can develop real talents. So if theres anyone out there going through something, trust me I feel you. Struggle makes you who you are though ya know. What doesnt kill you only makes you stronger! There's always a bright side to even the darkness areas in your life.
