I want to post to Steemit and keep it going every day. So, today would be the first post. Should I just dive right in? Of course, I stayed up most of the night being excited about this foray into Steemit. Also a bit nervous, right? But, you say the biggest thing is to enjoy and have fun.

Every day I want to create something that stays and that furthers the cause or meaning in my life. I taught my son a bit today through a you tube video on the American currency system and how it is built to collapse somewhere down the road. It is interesting that the Federal reserve has stockholders and we do not know their identities.

Someday, we might be shocked no know their identities. Is that why I want to delve into the cryptos? Mostly, I have seen things coming but not acted on what I saw.

My introduction (if I ever really get to it) consists of a current narrative, probable geographic locations, and work. I’ll start with the last. I work with youth who are being discharged from the system which includes foster care, mental health facilities, and the juvenile justice sytem. Somehow, I am a program designer, implementator, and director. Moreover, I also work directly with each youth. I have done this for a decade or more.

The work is emotional. I have a young family and frequently find it difficult to keep a balance.

I grew up and played hockey outside of Boston. Then, I moved to, and lived around Maine for the majority of young adulthood. Anthropology and psychology were the majors. Eventually, the girl of my dreams agreed to marry me. Then, at some point we moved to Akron. Then to Ocala. Then up to the Cleveland area where we currently reside. I fantasize of moving to the Upper Peninsula with my family where there is space and room to breathe.

So, maybe all that is out of the way. But, maybe not. I have been a member since October 2017 and have just finally decided to become active. I have not done much Facebook, Youtube, Whatsapp, Snapchat or whatever social media because I am pretty busy with what I do. Also, I did not have the vision for where I fit in.

Having a passion for youth is challenging and not immediately rewarding especially considering the effect of the educational system. These youth with are mostly products of behavioral management systems thinly disguised as education. The field has a high burnout rate. Many just withdraw from the frontlines into administrator positions where it becomes just like any other job.

My Son

To sum up, I wanted to write to you when I first got up this morning. However, I stayed up late into the night looking at Steemit and Youtube articles regarding currency, crypto, and politics. I learned some new terms like voluntaryist. Growing up where and when I did, meant that I did not succumb to all of the red pills. For example, I gave up television (idiot box), chocolate (because of being overweight), and swearing (because of the control it had over my thought processes) when I was about fifteen. Let us not even talk about vaccinations and the pharmaceutical industry. However, I managed to pick up and hold onto a lot of other shackles (probably everything you can imagine). Some persisted while others dropped off over the years. At some point, I became convinced that life consists of being able to let things go. The letting go list is long and the battles continue. But, that is the joy of it. Sometimes, you have victory over those things that weigh you down. So, you are able to savor that for a time. Until the next thing.
