Tonight I came across a post from a fellow minnow. And it really struck home. It is from @g-no who is like myself is also from @minnowsupport. From a few interactions I have had with him through comment sections of each other's post I think he is quite a nice guy. We are both minnows, but he is streets ahead of me.
But reading his post really hit home as I am feeling everything he is feeling. I work hard to stay positive and it is still ok to also question each of our own objectives. Hahahahaha at times I think there is a solidarity in all of us minnows getting together to have a pout ... lol.

This was my response to his post. And I decided to put it here as my own post as there are two honest questions I really want to get some perspectives on...
Absolutely understanding where you are coming from. It took me about 2 weeks to nearly get 200 followers. And comparing wallets you are running as HARD and fast as this girl and waaaay ahead of me lol.

I always think that people who got here a year ago was very lucky...
But it is what it is and I put my heart ... soul... and lungs into steemit to gain the little ground I have gained. And I am determined to become a whale.

But is it possible from scratch? I hope someone can answer that....
Another question is this..... do whales have a tendency to only upvote other whales?
6 hours ago I managed to write an article that got 40+ upvotes before using @minnowsupport and it's only worth $4.31. I did the research and used the tags from a post on a similar topic.... I even felt I wrote with more details and features....
Not spamming..... but this one
But I still love his platform....
Does anyone have real answers to my 2 questions?
I would love to get some perspective from some veterans.

Please help me further in seeking these answers by resteeming this for me

Regards
Yoda
