I am so nervous, entering unknown territory

Hey guys... I was recommended to this SteemIt platform by a good friend of mine so I thought I would give it a go.

My name is Shafiq, but you can call me shaf if you like :) I'm not going to pretend I'm the mostt interesting person in the world lol, but what I will say is I have a keen interest in Sports, Cryptocurrency, Food, Life & Religion. If you relate to any of those then I promise you will enjoy reading my future blog posts.

Above is a picture of myself alongside my 3 beautiful cousin sisters.

So here's some information about me:

1.I'm a 25 year old Asian male from the United Kingdom, Birmingham. (Lived here all my life)

2. I was born in The Netherlands, Amsterdam to be more specific.

3. I lived a life of crime up until the age of 21, but then I changed my life around completely. THANK GOD!... I'm going to make a blog about this someday soon, trust me you will love it :)

4. I'm part of a charity organisation called "Humanity Matters" where we regularly feed the poor and homeless worldwide, we have soup kitchens in the UK, we help pay for weddings in poor countries and a lot more.

5. I'm a kind outgoing type of person who can get along with anyone :). Don't be afraid to comment on my blogs and spark conversations with me.

Like I said, not really that interesting lol but I do feel like I've held back on some information which will come out in future blogs.

I'm looking forward to this new journey and looking forwards to reading many of your blogs and understanding your awesome personalities!

Is there anything I've missed?

Peace!

P.S - I would love to hear a little about you in the comments section and follow you back :D

Welcome to steemit Shaf. I think you'll like it here. 😄. I live a bit above you in Staffordshire. I used to live in Harbourne, Smethwick, Sellyoak, etc where I was also a teacher (Ladywood etc). I LOVED how friendly the Brummies are.
Now I'm a homeopath helping heal people all over the country (and in most continents of the world via Skype). I work mostly with children with anxiety and autism.
I'm also a home educator and I've worked really hard with consulting with and training staffs county council about home education and the law so they no longer make it hard for parents with children who can't cope with school to find out about home education as an alternative, and they treat home educators with respect and fairness.
I also like to give back to the community, so I'm inspired by what you are doing with your life 😄
I'm very impressed you managed to find such enlightenment and bring yourself up out of crime.
Looking forward to reading your posts.

Hey @sallylloyd, thank you for the kind words and your story is inspirational to say the least. Glad to have some locals too lol...

I admire that you are helping people all over and trying to make a difference In the world. I'm definitely glad you connected have a great day.

Cheers Shaf 😄
