I was constructing my reply, in my head, then bam! - you're in the hospital? What happened? Did I miss something? I really hope you're alright. Stay strong, my friend.
As to living off Steem, I've seen many here who are doing just that and knowing this, I do indeed feel more inclined to give, almost see it as an obligation, because I know that this is their only source of income... And it shouldn't be that way, you're right.
One should never take things for granted, even things that seem secure. It ruins everything. I was adding up my earnings for the previous week, at some point, and I was glad - I had made quite a bit, if things would go like this forever, my Steemit income would average a pretty good monthly income, here.
But they don't. They can't. And one should always know that and be prepared.
Take care, Taraz.
These are the lessons as if you are prepared and it happens, you survive, if it doesn't happen, you thrive.
I am okay thanks, it is a scheduled thing to deal with a stomach problem I have had for over 20 years now. The treatment is every two months and I have been doing it about a year now.
I think you survive, even if you don't know the lessons. Because you have to learn them somehow, don't you? You're just s bit worse for wear, if you didn't know them before.
I'm glad you're okay.
