I didn't plan on making a post today, but then I received a notification from hive buzz. At first I was thinking it was another notification for my latest world cup badge, but then I remembered there was no world cup match yesterday. I checked and surprisingly it was this badge

_{Thank you Hivebuzz}

It's another year for me on the hive blockchain, I wonder why I'm always caught off guard when these happen. I can still remember last year when I received my one year old badge and I was already doubting whether or not I had actually spent up to a year on hive. Then I remembered that I didn't create my intro post until a few months after creating my account.

I can still remember my first few days on the blockchain. Going about, not really sure how everything worked. But then for whatever reason everyone was just so nice and helpful and before I knew it I started to feel at home here. Waking up and the first thing on my mind is to pick up my phone and see what's happening on hive, how my post fared, and whether I had any new comments. Scrolling around and learning more about hive, crypto, and web 3 in general. It's been an amazing experience.

It has been a fun filled and action packed 2 years to be honest. I've grown both mentally, psychologically, even physically and emotionally. I have made a lot of friends, I've grown my account a bit, learned a lot, and now it's just all about continuing from there and seeing how high I can go.

They say when you do something everyday for years it gets boring, but hive is different. It's just so dynamic and ever changing that you never feel like you know it all, or everything is the same. Hive 2 months ago is not hive now. There's always something new happening. Whether it's a new tool, or a set of contests, or a challenge, there's always something and that, alongside all the wonderful people is what keeps me active and consistent here.

In isolation this 2nd year has been a continuation of the first in terms of excitement and happiness for me. Though my first year's excitement had more high points and memorable moments, this year was a bit more streamlined. Also I finally found a community where I'm active and even have a role (city of neoxian), which is nice.

I'm looking forward to my 3rd year on hive. Hoping it has even more highs, and Is filled with a lot of fun times.
