I was thinking of you immediately when I saw this.. I am so glad you were able to witness someone that is standing up for exactly the things that bothered you!!! I told you that this platform has some amazing checks and balances, and I'm so excited that you will see them happen in real time @wanderlass!!! :)

Hopeful that justice will prevail! I have always wondered where they were and now I can see that they just needed time to prepare for the war! And I hope this will motivate people to do the right things instead of inflicting pain to their fellow Steemians.
yes I agree @wanderlass... if you haven't heard the story of @fulltimegeek you need to research it... You will fall in love with the way he is... He was so powerful that he realzied it wasn't fair and he was afraid he could be corrupted if he held all that power. So he literally gave it all away to people that he called "stewards of gondor"... His feeling was that if he gave it to others that could be trusted to build the community it would be better for everyone and no one would have too much control. He is an amazing guy to figure this out and to give away all the financial benefits that came from that power.
That is how the stewards of gondor was started and it has grown and grown as his stewards passed on the process of giving back to the community. I was fortunate to meet @abh12345 @goldendawne and @coolguy123 and they have all been so giving and caring it shows what a great idea @fulltimegeek had.
I think that you are a perfect example of someone who has tons of potential that can get discouraged from time to time when you witness some of the bad things you've seen. What is hard sometimes is to describe to you my faith in something, because everyone sees things at different times and different ways. I knew that because I had met the 3 SOG members about the organization, and I knew that there are powerful people here that want to see it done "right".. When I didn't know, but now I do.. It is now.
You are at a point in time that you will remember for the rest of your days here. These guys are really the good guys and I hope you take the time to research them! You will be really excited about your future here again and I think that will help put everything in your life in perspective.
You asked the other day if you were wasting your time, and I want to let you know that you are definitely not! Get to know these people and all those little worries will go away and you will see something amazing that you are already a part of (and just didn't know it) ... I have your back! ;)
I'm so happy for you that you made it to this day, because what you were struggling with was bothering me. It should never affect your health and now hopefully you will know now that you don't have to stress and push against what you felt was an unfair battle. This place is truly fair because we will get what we deserve, and in my eyes that is anything you can dream of!!!
#stewardsofgondor is a good place to start :)
I haven't researched about @fulltimegeek but with his Steem Quest and what you said here I am already in awe and I admire him for all these. Only a few powerful people would act to prevent corruption before it's even there. We need more whales with a good heart like him. <3
I have learned a bit about #stewardsofgondor when you introduced our dear @goldendawne to us and right there I know that this team is one that I have my respect for. The name itself sounds awesome too because I love LOTR! And I see @coolguy123 and @abh12345 very supportive of newbies. They could have supported other projects by bigger fishes but they chose to help those in need here - we, planktons.
whale warriors -including dolphins and minnows but it just sounded better with whale ;)It is a challenging time for me and it has even gotten to me emotionally. Maybe I'm too sensitive and I get in trouble with other people because I can easily recognize if something is off, and they wouldn't understand me. Also, when I found Steemit I found hope (and I won't get into my life story why) and this means a lot to me now. I'm in for the long term, and glad to see this progress! Thank you @fulltimegeek and other
You are amazing @wanderlass... I have saved this to respond to you all day long. I'm so happy today because I see this comment and now a few minutes ago I saw your post to @fulltimegeek. I know what you were struggling with and I honestly felt helpless to help you. It was bothering me because I care about you and I know you will succeed if you can keep your spirits up.
This turn of events has led to you being able to see with your own eyes and that is better than anything I could ever say. You now "get it" and I am very relieved because I think you have the makings of a wonderful person for the rest of your life!
You have a heart of gold and I'm very proud of you. Thanks for taking the time to learn about what the #stewardsofgondor is all about.
Please don't worry about me too much. You have other greater responsibilities here. And thanks again for believing in me even during these times. Thanks for saying I have a heart of gold but to be honest, people who see me in real life I think would disagree because they see more of my weirdness and my different way of thinking or behaving, rather than my heart. But I do try to be good and not add to the pain in this world. So thanks for seeing that. I think everyone would agree that you're the one with a heart of gold :)
Thank you again for remembering me in your comments Dave, each and every credit I get is because of the love from @fulltimegeek and thanks for giving an opportunity to remember him :) Long live #stewardsofgondor
Hi @coolguy123 it's nice to meet another newbieresteemday teammate and a steward of gondor. I'm happy to connect with good and great people here. @davemccoy is great at connecting good people :)
Hey, thank you @wanderlass.
Yes, it's been wonderful to be in touch with members of #newbieresteemday. At this point of time, we have come to an end with #stewardsofgondor (SOG), but hopefully, SOG members will be in touch and I will be happy to be any activities the SOG's feel I can be of help. #newbieresteemday is already on the rise and is in safe hands of ABC's along with @davemccoy and other people like you, so I am happy to continue with my little support of SP delegation and being part of curation trail to help the newbies although my voting weight has gone down because of the undelegation of SP from #fulltimegeek.
Oh I thought SOG will still be there and this is just temporary. But then this war may take a long time. You're still an SOG with or without the delegation and that's a great achievement :)
I will be happy to stay as an SOG, but a little bit sad that I won't be able to vote with same amount of reward as before, that's fine, everything has to come to an end and FTG has taken it back for a good cause, so, no regrets but I will cherish the moments I spent as an SOG.
I will accept that compliment with pleasure @wanderlass! I do know great people and you and @coolguy123 are 2 of my favorites for sure!
Btw, he's also involved in helping us with #newbieresteemday so you can connect with him there too!
Thanks Dave. Happy to know new Steemians and increase my friends count.
:)
And you definitely pay it forward and eventhough I haven't tagged him in most of my mention of him today, I will tag @fulltimegeek here so that he knows how deep his "love" spread!
ps... I see @wanderlass commented to you and she is another awesome one to get to know, she is very smart and of the highest quality and you will like her very much! She's been my teammate since we started and she will be a good steward one day too ;)
I got that, I couldn't reply to those messages yesterday, but I am on all those now. Thanks for everything. Have a good day :)
