Did something you did on BBS make you feel proud?

Many 👬👫 have done great things on BBS that they can be proud of. Things which make them respected as giants or 🗻🗻 mountains in BBS.

They stand tall in BBS and are well recognised in BBS

The thing that I want to share on will be considered insignificant in the sight of the 🗻🗻. It is something that is so easy that they can do it in just a few days. No big deal.

However to me it was a great achievement that was the culmination of more than 11 years of work.

Work where I have faced discouragement along the way during that 11+ years.

 I started writing a book in October 2010 and completed the draft of that book after a few months.

I continued writing articles and parts of more books and dreamed of becoming an author.

Some of what i wrote were posted on Facebook but I was not able to actually publish a book.

While some people praised what I wrote there are also people who consider me as a lousy writer who should not try to become an author.

To them , I will never succeed and the dream of successfully publishing a book will forever be just a dream. They consider me as being not good enough.

Perhaps they are correct because in spite of writing for 11+ years,  I obtained zilch or zero income on what i wrote.

So for 11 years i have remained as an aspiring author. Someone who aspires or want/hope to be an author with a published book that earn money. This was an aspiration that I had but was unable to achieve.

In February 2022, I was white listed on BBS and was able to cash out.

After more than 11 years of writing I was finally able to earn a tiny amount from writing. The value of  the BBS tokens I received is insignificant.

But it is the first income from more than 11 years of writing.

The criticisms that I have received over the years me feel like a 🐛

The 🐛 was elated and so happy that he was jumping up and down.

Up and down because 🐛 cannot remain up in the air or fly.

The 🐛 had the idea that if it became a 🦋, then he can fly.

So the 🐛 who felt so proud that it earn a tiny amount of BBS tokens changed its Visual Identity in BBS to 🦋

This is why there is now a 🦋 in BBS. A 🦋 who is a member of Meta Engagers

When changing VI to 🦋 the 🦋 wrote the poem contained in

🦋 hope that you will enjoy the above poem about a 🦋 that can fly and reach the sky.

Being white listed by BBS is the proudest moment in my life. A moment which changed me from 🐛 to become a 🦋
