THANK YOU! We just hit 1000 followers on Steemit finally, this is cause to celebrate! I suppose we did so a little prematurely with the new camera, but without it you wouldn’t have all these new photos to look at!
We’ve nearly been on Steemit a year now and it wasn’t easy to get to this point. Our followers were hard earned honestly, due to the fact that I did my best to post just about every day for this past year, ramping it up recently to several posts a day with the addition of the new camera. It wasn’t just the posting, it was the story both past and present that keeps people interested. The single most important thing about posting online is having something to post about.
We started with telling our story of how we are on the run from the US governement for a victimless crime and chose to opt out of the court system entirely by heading for the border. Against all odds, we made it here to Acapulco and through Steemit we have told our story. As time went on we started sharing other things about our lives here in Mexico and got a lot of positive response.
So we kept on posting and showing you all everything we encountered that interested us, from food to plants. I’ve done my best to be as honest as possible to remind you all that we are just two people who made some interesting and risky choices in our lives to get where we are. It’s taken a lot out of both of us but we’re finally getting to a point where things seem like they’re improving. Thank you all for your support as it has been what’s kept us going this whole time here, even during the rougher times where we were barely making enough to feed ourselves.
This year hasn’t been easy and despite what some would have you believe, we are not rolling in cash. But we are doing pretty damn good compared to what we used to (especially these last few weeks) and honestly I think I’m at this point personally making more money than I ever have between everything we do, so I really can’t complain. Things seem like they’re still trudging upward despite the uphill battle.
This is partially due to our efforts but I’d be a fool if I said we did it alone. There are several key people that have been in our lives this past year that have made the difference when it really mattered and to those people, you know who you are, I thank you. We both do.
This is a huge milestone, one that’s seemed far off for a very long time so I’m very excited to share this post with you all. To all our followers, old and new, thank you!
Until next time!
