Thank you for sharing your experiences with us and encouraging you. My life is also something similar to your life. I am a teacher of Hindi literature.
I wanted to share my stories, poetry, my thoughts with lots of people by going to a lot of places but every time disappointment took place.
Some time ago my financial condition was also bad. But now I teach in a private school which costs my home.
But I am not getting the joy that I should be in the form of an author. I tried many times to publish my poems and stories, but only failure Got hands.
But a few days ago, some of my friends told me about Stimit.This is a very good platform. I just shared my first story 2 days ago.Very good response is coming.
 If you have time with the head then read my first story.
and again thanks Happy steeming.
