Introducing myself again after being on steem more than 2 years.

I can't sleep as always thinking and excited about what's going on on steem blockchain.

I love steem and after introcing myself 2 years ago when I was a fishie and one year ago when I became a minnow, I want to do it again now for the third time.

I'm from Algeria, but I live in Russia. My father is Algerian and my mother is Russian. I'm 34 years old and I'm a father of almost 2 years old boy and a husband of my lovely Russian wife.

My father was studying in Russia in the 70's, in the time of the Soviet Union. He met my mother here and married her, then I was born in Algeria in 1985. I lived there about 9 years and in such age we had to move to Russia all together with my parents and two sisters. I'm the older brother. So, I was already studying in the 4th primary class and we were using both Arabic and French. But, after moving to Russia, I had to learn Russian and begin here from the 2ed class because i didn't know Russian before. Here I feel that I lost 2 years of my life.

Anyway, I liked to live in Russia very much when I was a little boy and those were my best 4 years of full happiness and positivity. But when I was 13 years old, my father had an issue with my mother and he decided to take me back to Algeria. So, as a little boy I had the choice between going with my father and staying with my mother and sisters. It was hard choice, but I choosed to go with my father after hearing from him, how awesome Algeria is and how I will live there much better. Of course as a little boy, I believed everything he was saying.

So, I went with him and the first thing that he did, is getting married again and I was in shock. I felt that my life is destroyed, I felt very bad, because I knew all the love story of my father and mother and how is was beautiful, the way they met.

I didn't have friends there because I was very different. We didn't have in that time a PC or even the internet. So, I had to look for the best way to spend my free time and to not stay home. I've found the solution and that was sport. I was running, trying to find kids to play with them soccer (football), because in Algeria usually a lot of guys play that. As, you know the famous Zinedine Zidane his origin is from Algeria. And a lot of time the Algerian team played in FIFA.

My father in that time didn't allow me to talk with my mother and even to call her, so that was an other 2 years lost living without my mother and wishing everyday that I will meet her again. But, my mother couldn't live without me and she decided to comeback to Russia with my sisters and that was a meeting that I will never forget. I was also playing electronic games a lot and in the day they came, I was outside playing in a place where we were paying to play. So, one guy told me that my mother is here and I forget about the games and went running to see them. I still remember how we all together were hugging each other for a long time and crying. That was a special experience.

So, after that my mother decided to stay despite knowing that my father got married again. She stayed to support me and my sisters and she had to live there just because of us. So, I kept there studying and growing and when my sisters grow up, they got married and that was the first step for me and my mother to free ourselves and be able to go to Russia again. We couldn't control the process, because traditions are like this, kids always should listen to parents even if they grow up. The good thing that me and my mother, we made sure that my sisters will got married with good guys.

After that I finished all my studying and start to work. I worked about 2 years gathering money to go to Russia without telling my father about that. My father wanted of course to see me married as well. To make sure that I will never go to Russia, he wanted me to live in A lgeria forever. But, is wasn't the case.

When I gathered enough money to buy a ticket and finally leave the country, my grand mother from Russia called telling us that my grand father is sick and that he is in the hospital. So, that was the reason for me to make my father let me go to see my grand father for the last time. It was hard to make him let me go, but after my mother went to her origin country, after 2 month from that my father finally accepted and I came to Russia again in 2010.

So, that was 12 years of disappointment, bad mood, fighting with the relatives there to not follow all their traditions. Doing our best to not make our father angry. Leaving in a bad material situation. I finally did what I planed to do for a long time.

If course I was prepared, because the last 3 years I was always talking to Russians in forums, chats, and even in skype, I had a lot of friends to talk with, to remember all the language.

Even after coming to Russia, it wasn't that easy to adapt here. It was hard to find friends or even a work. And the only way for me to stay here, was to stydy again in my 25 years old. I had no choice than to start studying with 18 years old people. It was hard. But that was the only way to make the visa and for its prolongation. So, I finished here the University with the diploma of ''Bachelor of economics'' and to stay here more, I had to continue and I choosed to study master degree and that was in the field of ''Transportation''.

I was working and studying at the same time and my mother also was working, so we lived together helping each other till I finished my study here again.

But even with all this, that was just the beginning. I still didn't have the citizenship or even residentship and I had only visa. In my last year of studying, I was dating an awesome girl who is my wife now. ☺

While living in Russia, it was hard also for me to find friends here. The first years I was looking only to find native people to friend and that wasn't that easy. That's why I decided to create an English Club to find foreigners here. Hopefully there were a few of them who were studying here, they liked the idea. So, we began to meet each week, sometimes in the dormitory of studenrs and sometimes just hanging out in the street or in cool places.

Once I was organizing karaoke in English and not only foreigners were invited, but Russians as well and a lot of girls came in one of those events and that's how I met my dear wife. The English Club after some time because as a work, and people who were joining my events where paying and Russians decided to learn English that way. My wife was an English teacher, so she worked with me first, we dated and then got marrid and that's our love story. ♥

After we got married I closed the English club because I didn't had enough income from it in that time. So, I decided to start teaching Arabic to Russians and look at the same time for a work online. Even after getting married and getting the residentship, still people in Russia don't like to take someone to work without citizenship. So, I had to look for a work online as well and I tried a lot of works. A lot of websites scammed me and in some of them it was hard to make an income for living, so I was always looking for something stable, that's how I found about steem.

But with time even steem didn't became a stable income because it kept going down. Now I have other works as well, I still teach Arabic online when I have clients, I translate as well sometimes writing, sometimes vocal.And I will soon hit 3 years of being married to have the right to ask for the citizenship, because having a Russian mother never helped at all.

The cool thing that after a few months when I joining steem, my child was born. So, I'm a father now and a husband.

That was my life and I still fighting to live better and to enjoy my life with my little family.

I'm sorry if I've made some mistakes in English, I'm not a native speaker and I never visited an English country in my life, but still most of the content I create on the web is in English.

That was me @clixmoney , the founder of @dcooperation the community I founded to collaborate with others.

I hope you enjoyed reading. ☺

Now, I'm sure that my introduction post is exposed to the community much better. The sportive part is when I found in the sport a solution for my problems and when I never give up all this time doing my best. The investment part is to show to steemians that there are people here who maybe in a hard situation and investing for them is not that easy. The creative part is my creative writing and sharing my pictures and the pictures of my family in this post. ☺
