Celebrating my 2nd year anniversary on the Hive Blockchain

In the past two years, one of the very best decisions I made was joining the hive blockchain. It all seems like yesterday, when I just came onboard, I was a novice, and here I'm today. In a web3 space where I've come to regard as my home, over the years, Hive has become a part of me, and so Have I been privileged to meet some amazing people, learn new stuff, and also adopt a savings culture that has helped me amaze a whopping 6542 HP in my first 24 months here.

Firstly, I'll love to first say a special shout-out to my onboarder in person, Monica-ene. Her simple act of advice two years ago has gone on to be a lifesaver. That has literally changed my life, the way I think, my commitment, and my financial growth through the years. Although I've always been optimistic about earning online, right from my days in Web 2 on Facebook, her showing me the path to Web 3, where I can have a digital identity and sense of ownership without the scare of my account being taken from me, is an act I'll forever be grateful for.

Hive has taught me a lot through the years. I came here as a novice with no knowledge about Web 3, how things work here, nor was I a good writer, but despite all of my flaws, Hive has welcomed me with open arms, giving me all of the support that I needed in the form of friends I made here, teachings like the newbies initiative, life-changing content in various communities, and much more, to mention but a few. And here I'm now, from someone who could hardly make up a 100-word article, Now my writing has reached as high as 700 words and above; although I'm yet the best I dream of becoming, but I'm striving towards that, and I've made significant improvements over the years.

The journey has been smooth, and I've had loads of support and improvement, which I'm grateful for. I'm grateful that when I was celebrating my first anniversary a year ago, I only had 1462 HP, but fast forward to the present day, and after another year, I've been able to have a significant increase of 5080 HP, making a total of 6542HP. This is mind-blowing, and I can't help but dream further about achieving greater heights in HP, HBD holding, layer two token investment, and much more.

I'm grateful for some of the mind-blowing community that has been a part of my journey through the years, from the needleworkmonday community, the city of Neoxian, hive learners, diyhub, and several others. You have been awesome, and I'll implore you to let's do this again cause another year-long journey is about to kick off on the Hive blockchain.

To the friends I've made and who have in one way or another had my back, I say thank you. Hive is a place to be and a life saver that can change one's story from bad to good if only one stays true, shows commitment, and dedicates to the blockchain. I'm a testament to this, and after 24 months on the hive blockchain, I've written a whopping 968 posts, 12,500+ comments, amaze 6542 HP, powered up at least one hive every single day of this year 2023, and have also indulged in every single hive power-up day since this year began. That's my way of supporting the blockchain, and I've been increasing my stake to support authors here.

So that's about it for now. Thanks so much for your support; I really appreciate it, and I'm super grateful. Well, before I bring this post to a close, I've got a number between 1 and 20, and the first four hiver that guess closest to it will get one hive each. I wish you all the best. Stay creative, blessed, productive and hive on.
