Yeah yeah I know "2018 is my year!!" etc etc... But the fact of the matter is IT IS, and it's NOW OR NEVER!
Hi everyone, I hope you dont mind me posting another introduction! I felt I wanted to give a bit more depth and to fill in some of the gaps in my story.
I have been so inspired reading about everyone and how they found this place that I wanted to show a bit more of myself to hopefully do the same for others like me. Thank you! - Mark
After my long term relationship fell apart in 2012 I have been on a very different mission in life compared to my usual version of normal. My long term job with my friends also went in 2015 leaving me stuck with a mortgage and no job. Nightmare! (No kids though! Phew!)
Keen to turn my unique ideas and original perspective on life into an income of sorts, I dabbled a bit with blogging, but got disheartend quickly and was over it before I had even got started.
I got my youtube channel back in shape and started to upload my old videos which is awesome but still not even reached my first £60 payout yet!
Shit got real pretty quickly and after asking around my friends for work I got a chance to do labouring on building sites which I am still doing to this day.
I am not tough, hard or anything like a geezer but luckily my bunch are good people with good hearts. Making the job just about manageable for me. Although it feels like a distraction rather than a career!
At the end of a typical day I have no energy to do what I love the most, SKATEBOARDING, and I literally get home, eat, shower and straight to bed for my 5am alarm the next morning.
I am surviving, but not living.
I am not a builder, I am a creator.
So basically here I am, looking into the New Year, ready to make this year the one that I will remember.
The year I stood up
The year I began to truely believe in myself
and the year that I took a chance...
My limited (but growing) knowledge of steemit and how it all works has been enough proof to me that this is real and this is the light at the end of the tunnel!
I love writing, I love words and I love truth!
There is no problem content wise. My personal archive of old video and photography spans three decades.
And I have travelled all over the world skating and filming for most of those years too. So I have got plenty to be getting on with.
But to be honest it's all my new ideas that are my driving force, I can't wait to turn these ideas into reality!
With that all in mind, my 2018 is going to be a death/rebirth from my old ways.
I am ready to put the work in to create a future which allows me to skate everyday and to interact with real people who also are carving a new path for themselves. An accurate description of most of the true creators on here I think!
So I thank you, everyone, and I hope you all have as much enthusiasm as me, because if you do then this place is going to be something really special!
Stay weird, keep laughing!
LOVE IS ALL!!
