We've all just witnessed an amazing act of kindness -- no one, more than myself. In the.., name of community -- you all stepped up! All the kind hearted words, heartfelt concern.., and of course, all the financial support.., has, as you can imagine -- blown me away!
At a moment in time, where humanity can seem cold.., the character and quality of the people in this community refused to accept the status-quo… Disregarding social norms.., and displaying to the masses, what a REAL community, looks like -- how they act.., and respond, when of their own is hurting.
We have built something here -- that is extremely special… I mean really.., where else does this shit happen… This community is unique, it is real -- and it is the first of its kind! Tired of all the bullshit we live with everyday -- knowing for a fact, there is a better way. Unwilling to sit by and let others call the shots -- taking control, because it's time to evolve… Time to move past the petty differences that divide us.., and create a world where everyone gets to participate, free of unjust laws.., a safe place to live and create.
Instinctively embracing, the true meaning of community -- without even blinking!
It's hard to describe -- put into words, what we have, actually have here… The many brilliant facets, shooting out in all directions.., all connected, by this thing called -- the blockchain. Making it easy to see, how this brilliant technology can enhance humanity -- stretching across the globe, so much more than dots on a screen -- a unifying of people, that continue to dream.
And it is just as hard, for me to describe -- IMPOSSIBLE, for me to express, how being part of this community, has made me feel… How thankful I am, the gratitude I feel.., to have found a group of people, that could feel someone elses pain. More than the sum of its parts -- its own entity, believing in an abstract magical world, where any words we have created, could never -- do it justice.
The ever-present energy, that exists within this community -- inspires being human, supports you when you're down.., compels us to be better, than anything around… Setting the standard on what it means to be a part of something, something greater than yourself -- a specific kind of energy that has become precious and rare.
I hope you all take the time to acknowledge.., the good thing that you did -- understand that not everybody, responds in such a warm and loving way -- and accept you are a very special breed of human. And that is just one of the many beautiful facets, that sets this community apart from anything else there is -- one of the things that makes this community, the STEEMIT COMMUNITY -- so freaking special!
the right to
take care of their own
the depths of its essence
making itself known
we have created
something special
this group of giving souls
have somehow come together
that this community rocks
...and there's nothing
like hearing --
we've got your back!
We've got your back… That is one of the many messages I received, over and over, from people in this community, making sure I knew I was not alone… It is also a term, a phrase.., that is so much greater than it words -- one I grew-up hearing and saying -- completely understanding all that it implies.., but also one I have not heard in quite some time. And one.., that could have been more welcomed...
Once again, thank you all -- for acknowledging my pain.., and doing something about it.
@macksby -- Mack
CHEERS!
P.S.,
My court date is this coming Tuesday, the 27th… I will be posting, right after -- to let everyone know how things went.., but it all looks good.

So pleased to hear that your fundraising is going so well! Yes I know you need to double the values, but if you keep posting each day and get a few more donations, I think you will reach your goal!! You're really cared for here!
We reached the goal.., due to an extremely generous donation!!!
Yay!!! So glad to hear it
Looks like you've had so many generous souls helping, really heartwarming to see :-)))
I've already said it, but I'll say it again... UN-FREAKIN-BELIEVABLE -- :))
I saw what was "done". that was a special moment. Cheers!
You can say that again... :))
I really am impressed, I mean all I did was upvote your posts, but what I've seen other people do is great, I really hope you get out of this problem all right.
Appreciate that @gduran!
I love this content because it's educative. Thanks for letting us know much about our community. Most people in a community just live therein, but they don't know they can even impact the community they were into. This post is one among the best I've ever read on steemit. Thanks so much
Thanks for this comment @peakreal1.., this is certainly a very special community!
Can't add much to your post, except to say, it made me smile knowing the weight has been lifted from your shoulders. Hope everything goes well on Tuesday, I am sure it will
Thanks @lemondropsblue.., the support from people in this community has blown me away!
Good luck mehn, its not going to be easy, but we are a community on steemit, and with the help of everyone, you should be able to work something out.
Keep up posted on the situation , i went back to your initial post on this subject, life happened, but dont take the bathtub route, dont even think it!
Love from africa.
Thanks @destinysaid.., all the love from Africa is greatly appreciated!
Very well said! I have also felt the community vibes here. Things will evolve over time, like YouTube did. But the early days will never be forgotten. I'm sure we'll still have friendships 10 years down the line, just like on YouTube and other social sites. But here, we can help others in a much more direct way, as we have seen! Best wishes to you on the 27th and into the future!
This is definitely a unique place, spawning friendships between people from all corners of the globe...
Hugs!! Huge massive hugs to you. This is such a positive message. You personify the power of community and the way the human spirit is bigger than than each of alone.
Ahh, I am so emotional about the beauty of your post and your positivity I can't express myself very well. Tuesday will go well. You are not alone.
Hugs.., right back atcha'!!!
Thank you so much, for all positive, good energy I felt form you @joannereid -- :))
