Hello everyone! Reading your stories about the engagement in read.cash community, I got inspired to write my own story and go back to the time when my read.cash journey started.

@MoonTrader thank you so much for this inspirational topic. Thank you for encouraging us to remember our beginnings here and share our thoughts and experiences.

Here is #MyReadCashStory.

How did you get here in "Read Cash"?

It was three months ago...

I lost all the strings I held in my hands when my father passed away. I felt like I wasn’t alive. I didn’t laugh, I just struggled with myself to open my eyes every new morning and waited for another day to pass, filled with sadness. At the same time, the greatest happiness happened. I became a mother for the second time. It was supposed that I should look forward to my child, but even that was very difficult, so I realized that I had to do something and move forward.

I wrote. It was free writing of everything that is in my mind. I also wrote poems. As I love learning foreign languages, I decided to improve my spoken English a bit before returning to work from maternity leave. I found a great English teacher online @elana and we started classes. We soon became very close and since she liked my writing, she introduced me to read.cash platform. At first I didn’t know how everything worked so I wasn’t up to date in responding to comments. I haven’t even written an introduction post, but every start has its wrong steps.

I wrote four articles without rewarding, but that didn’t matter to me because my first goal was to get rid of stress, not make money. I got support and realized that this is actually a community of wonderful people. The first support came from a cute, kind girl @Lovelyfaith who became my sponsor. The rewards started from my 5th article and then I experienced the excitement of waiting for red bell notifications. I was suddenly surprised by the amount of BCH on my account and I remember calling @elana and telling her "I will be rich". 😀 She is like an angel who appeared in my life at the right time and introduced me to this world of creative, interesting and good people. For the New Year, she gave me an ornament, which will always be my fond memory.

How challenging it is as a writer that need to write article everyday?

Writing has been an integral part of my life since childhood, so I gladly accepted the challenge of writing almost every day on read.cash. I find inspiration in everything that is in me and around me. The moment I enjoy "me" time writing an article is a new ritual in my life that I look forward to. And now I am sure. Writing every day is the most creative challenge I have encountered in my life.

Of course, sometimes it's not easy. Especially if you want each of your articles to have some motivational message for readers. Sometimes we are in a bad mood and maybe not inspired enough to write something that will be motivating. But even then, some bad situations turn into instructive stories, from which everyone can learn something new or find themselves.

How did "Read Cash" help you?

In a word, read.cash is my salvation!

It refreshed my thoughts, changed my mood and taught me to observe and interpret more deeply everything that is happening around me, which in turn helped me to solve many of my dilemmas and problems in the right way.

I also learned a lot about myself. Read.cash helped me get to know myself better and opened up new opportunities.

Every day I improve my writing skills in English and that means a lot to me.

I share experiences, dilemmas and sometimes I feel like I am in one big family because of the closeness and free way of communicating with members. I consider some members of the read.cash platform to be my friends even though we have never seen each other.

I also had special moments here, I virtually celebrated my birthday for the first time and I will never forget the way it was all conceived and realized by one creative mind, @Lucifer01

Read.cash brightened my days and had a great impact on relieving the stress I had a hard time living with. I will always be grateful for that.

What are the lessons that you learned in "Read Cash"?

I learned to be absolutely free to express my thoughts. We don't have to keep the words to ourselves. When we write them, we feel relieved.

I’ve learned not to be skeptical when it comes to cryptocurrencies, which I learn more and more about every day. One should always be open to innovation and new knowledge.

I have learned to be more patient even though I am a patient person. Read.cash has taught me to own my time and to use it patiently for my personal prosperity.

Thank you for reading.
