That's really touching to hear how Steemit has helped you during a tough time. It's amazing how a platform that started as a distraction became a means for personal growth and saving for the future. I totally get how it can be intimidating at first, especially with the codes and feeling like a stranger. But it's great that you took the initiative to learn and improve on your own. And the best part is the wonderful people you've met along the way who have supported you. It's truly a blessing to have friends from different countries and to experience that sense of unity and solidarity within the communities. Keep embracing the journey and cherish those friendships.
