It's true – it's hard not to get discouraged. If you fall off for more than a week, it's quite hard to get back into it. Trust me – it's worth it.

I'm not sure if you're on Discord yet – I'm thinking perhaps not as I've never seen your name – but I've come to understand that networking there is crucial to succeeding on Steemit. Depending on your interests, I may be able to recommend a few, relevant servers for you. ;)
