I've always looked forward to this day that set my Cryptocurrency ball rolling. Yes, prior to joining Steemit/Hive platform in 2017, I've heard about cryptocurrency but haven't earned a dime from it. Coming to the steemit platform through @theheralds was not just an eye-opener but an open door of better things to come. Such opportunities I have always shared with others at every moment as far back as I remember through self funded workshops and seminars, calls, chats, production of [campaign materials]( https://steemit.com/steemspirit/@emjoe/it-smells-like-steem-spirit-buddy )e.t.c. https://youtu.be/3spfGPBnT60 Although some of my then very close friends aren't very active on the steem/Hive blockchain any more, I still cherish every bit of the moments shared with them Amongst them is @karensuestudios, @polebired (my then [steemit crush](https://steemit.com/steemitcrush/@emjoe/my-steemitcrush-polebird#)), a cheerful weird heart @erodedthoughts, @acromott, @stevenalexander (your death left me [broken](https://steemit.com/stevenalexander/@emjoe/dear-stevenalexander-my-heart-is-broken)), @nomadicsoul, @kpine (your support was felt by many around me), my steemit granny @topkpop from @thealliance family, @hazem and many more, the list is endless. Some of those not active are still very much around on the blockchain space while others went AWOL in other endeavors. Life happens. #### Back To Reality? My stay on the blockchain has impacted me so positively, that though I get burn out sometimes, I still find a way to reignite the fear and keep pushing. I really wanted to make this a very long post but I've been passing through some really trying times lately, emotionally due to my parent's health, financially (we all are in it due to the pandemic) and the insecurities bedeviling my environment. It can really get one crazy but I keep my sanity on check by accepting life and taking it easy. I won't fail to thank you all for your amazing supports and encouragements. My blockchain mom @saffisara ( an Angel in disguise, I always adore and love you), my @thealliance family ( I will likely not get this far without your mentorship), @xabi (a brother and friend on the blockchain space), @stoodkev ( I have no idea why you find my boring self worthy of your supports but I can't thank you enough), @karenb54, @c0ff33a, @xa0lin master @enginewitty, @tattoodjay, @robertandrew and many more. I owe you guys a lot. ### After Now, What's Next? Well, if life continues, this will be among the many such posts that will come in many more years to come. If I die, there is plans for an @emjoejnr account for my baby to continue flying the blockchain flag high. I love you all, even if I may not keep in touch as much as I would have loved to. Life anxieties can be overwhelming most times but I promise to keep pushing. I earlier wanted to make a video or post my picture with a thank you card, but reminiscing so far has left me really teary and that's not the kind of image for today :( ## All I can say is THANK YOU ALL, Out of Sight Is Not Out Of Mind.
