I'm Finally 18!

in #life8 years ago

Just a short post to remember that... I'm finally 18!!

Yesterday I turned 18.

That's a big step. Mainly because I'm now able to subscribe and earn by microworking and affiliate networks.

And, also, because I can now take responsability of my actions (it seems bad, but think about it: if you have responsabilities, you have the freedom to choose).

Though, don't get me wrong.

I'm exactly the same person

The concept of being "mature" at 18 is just BS.

If I'm mature now, I was mature at 14. I may have changed physically and I may know something more about chemistry... but my inner part is the same.

My values, my core values, are the same.

I can change small opinions, but I don't usually change values such as equality and so on.

That's why I consider a person based on the PERSON - not based on the number. I have friends from 13-14 yrs old up to 40 yrs old.

And my earning plan is not doing great

I was dreaming about this for a long time.

Because I wrote my "earning plan" and I really believed in it.

Ok, I'm going to open up with you: it's not going too well. I supposed steemit would have been a great extra income (ahahaha) and microworking would have been my main source of income.

Since some networks are denying me I'm starting to feel unconfident with this system.

But I'll try harder every day, because I want to work online. That's my dream. At this really moment I don't even care about the passive income part, I just want to work and give value from my pc to a worldwide audience full of great people.

I started to search for ways to do it when I was 14, and I'm not going to give up now.

Now that I'm finally able to subscribe to the "dream site" I could just think about some days earlier from now.

Party Tomorrow!

Of course, it's not an 18th birthday without an 18th party.

I had my family dinner yesterday, but I'm going to have my full party tomorrow - the eight of October.

30 people in my house... that's going to be crazy. 

Crazy fun!!

Some of them will sleep at my home and my cake has a penis size. 

Yep. You heard it correctly. My brother is designing me a penis cake. Yesterday he developed a "ball" to give me a taste of the official cake he's going to complete tomorrow.

A "ball".. of the penis, of course!

I'm glad I'm still on Steemit

I thought about leavin steemit long ago.

But I'm glad I didn't.

I may not be active as I used to be, but I still like this place. I like the opportunity and I like the people; my  "colleagues" here. 

I'm glad I don't have any other restrictions to use other websites, but Steemit welcomed me so good even when I was 17 and I'm happy knowing there's a friendly community for newbies and veterans here. 

Hopes are that's going to be better everyday in earnings too, but it doesn't matter since I already labeled this as "for fun".

But fun is not trash. It's fun.

And I like this place.

See ya!

aw welcome to being a legally recognized adult :p happy birthday!

I agree with you, age is just a number. We learn things as we get more experience, but age has nothing to do with what makes you you. I think too often people try to group by age-- schools are especially notorious for this. And this really artificially limits your circle of people, and robs you of the chance to share experience with people younger and learn from people older.

I think the crypto world is in its infancy and you'll be able to have your dream of finding income online :) Even just saving whatever amounts of Bitcoin, Steem, etc that you can get your hands on, it should go up over time-- not the same as income but it would help give you some breathing room while you explore whatever you're interested in.

I get the sense that you don't need this advice, but you can also think about ways to simplify your life so that you don't have many unnecessary expenses! And then even just a little income goes a long way.

I hope you enjoy your cake lol

according to the government there are three ages of importance.
You just passed one.
The next is age 21
After that is 65.

Happy Birthday dude :D for a present I shall give you a follow :D

Congratulations @ziogio!
