@the-gorilla, Yes, i am suddenly in a financial crisis that needs my urgent attention. It breaks my heart so much that it makes me sick. It's apparently the worst thing that's happened to me in recent years. I find this difficult to digest.

No doubt, powering down means that i can not participate so much on here anymore and my posts are immediately flagged "not in #club5050/powering down"

Although, for personal reasons, i cannot explain in details why i must withdraw my earnings, but i can confirm to you that it is my only option.

I am not sure if i'll be able to return here after taking this decision, but if it is possible, i'll be back no matter how long it takes.

Steemit has become part of my life and i am going to miss it so much. Thank you for your concern.
