*Click on the image, it's a DTUBE video !* # My2017. My Achievements and Failures - How I fell in love with my life. ## Winter. 2017 began with a dark winter inside and outside me. I turned 30 in 2017. And with this birthday I tried to gave up and destroy the dreams I imagined and played when I was a child. I tried to cure my wanderlust for years but it came back stronger. I tried to fit in our society with the perfect life. I finally quit my job. Trying to be myself leaded me to a mental and physical breakdown. I was chasing for years answers who probably don't have any conclusion. I was unsatisfied. I was wound up breathless. Our society locked me up and kept me away from dreaming. I've distanced myself from my family. From my friends. ## Spring. Spring arrived. And as the bird. I fall in love. I fall in love with the new season of my life. I discovered the crypto-sphere and the revolution the blockchain technology can bring to the world. It gave me hope. Steem helped me regain control of my life. Day after day, I woke up to blog. From scratch, I built the French community. The difficulty of the task led me to surpass myself. The first rays of the sun helped me get out again. ## Summer. I started to smile again. But the time I spent crying and being confuse was also the time I learned to be more empathic to others. I regained the self-confidence I had lost. And the future now looks brighter. I know that I can be myself now. Unique and radiant. I am learning to let my light shine on the world. To help others to accept their own light as well. ## Fall. I threw myself body and soul on Steem because I believe in its power to transform the world. I want to be part of this revolution. In 2017. I turned 30. I tought I would have checked all the boxes on my 30 years old check list… But I am far away for my goal. At least, I've learned that everything happend for a reason and at the perfect timing. And the universe and me are not reading at the same watch. I am now able to endure the difficulties with confidence. *Ups and downs are part of the life. There are times of harvest and times of spree. But I promise myself that everything will be alright* *Click on the image, it's a DTUBE video !* Credits : All videos are mine.
