I really appreciate that you take the time to write to me and share such honest advice! Thank you Richard! I'm very new to the whole platform, and still have some learning to do. I must admit that I felt a bit of anxiety after re-reading my introduction post, I may have shared a bit too much on a personal level on a 'permanent-public' platform.. Well, as long as Im speaking my truth, I guess I shouldn't worry too much ;) Either way, so does that mean I get steempower for each post I publish? I thought it only depended on whether they get upvoted or not (including comments). I'll focus on my next posts then and lay this one behind, thanks again for the advice
