For this weekās prompt, the Hive Naija community asks us to share about how Hive changed our perspectives or connected us to more people. I got to know about Hive just at the right time. I had just gotten out of a ānot-too-goodā relationship and I needed something to take my mind off things. At first, I tried binge watching anime and munching on snacks but that didnāt go too well. Luckily, my onboarder introduced me to Hive Blockchain. In his words, āyou can write and make money there.ā Initially, I didnāt believe his words, but I decided to try it anyway. Afterall it wouldnāt hurt that much to try, right?
Looking back, Hive has impacted my life in so many ways. Hive has helped improve my writing skills. Three years ago, when I joined the blockchain, I struggled to make a post. Writing was a chore for me. I remember how Iād spend hours working on just one post. I had the ideas in my head, but the words were not just flowing. It was as if the words were stuck somewhere in my head or they were glued to my skull. Thanks to Hive, that narrative changed completely. Participating in different prompts and blogging almost every day helped improve my writing skills. Not only that, reading other Hiverās posts also broadened my knowledge on many topics. Countless times, I have read many posts on different topics on Hive and I get enlightened to the extent where I go, āOh wow! I didnāt know this thing was this way.ā
Hive connected me to beautiful people. Before I joined the Blockchain, I had closed my heart not only to relationships, but also to friendships. I came on Hive with the opinion that I didnāt need anyoneās help and that I was better off alone. I didnāt want to experience friendship heartbreaks all over again. But somehow, Hive showed me things differently. Itās been 3 years since I joined the Blockchain and in those 3 years, I have met with beautiful people who impacted my life positively. Although some of us fell out, there is no doubt that they impacted my life and Iāll continue to cherish them. Most people on Hive are here to hustle, but in the midst of blogging, dropping comments, rebloging, chatting in Discord servers and participating in hangouts, I have managed to make friends with good people who have impacted my life positively.
More importantly, Hive has also impacted my financial life. In February, I got a new phone and I donāt think that would have been possible if not Hive. Well, better put, if not for Hive, it would have been very difficult to get that phone. I also got new books for myself on my birthday with the money I have made on Hive. Recently, I went for a one-week trip. All I had to do was withdraw 50 HBD from my savings and I was good to go. I visited the beach and also one of the best universities in my country. All these wouldnāt have been possible if not for Hive.
Thereās still so much to achieve on the blockchain and Iām curious to see what the future brings.
