4 Years In, No Regrets.

Happy Sunday Everyone.

So on 20th January I reach a milestone of being 4 years on the Hive Blockchain, so I have been pushing writing this post, but here it is, so it has being 4 years being here on the Hive Blockchain, It seriously feels so unreal that I'm typing this because I still remember when I was just trying to understand how everything worked then ,trying to figure out where to post, what community to join, and even how to make sense of things like upvotes and comments, etc

I remember in 2024 I wasn't very active, I was battling major personal issues, there were days I didn’t even have the strength to write anything, days I would open the site, stare at the screen, and close it again, see serious life was doing me that period, and I was just trying to survive through it, but see that is not what this post is about, this post is about the milestone I attained on 20th January.

See, I will always be grateful to my younger sister who introduced me to this Hive platform, because for one day I have not regretted being here, If she didn’t show me Hive, I honestly don’t know where my writing journey would be today, Hive really gave me a space where I could talk freely, write in my own style, and also still feel accepted.

So now it's not really about the earnings, it is about the things I have learned from being on here, the people I have come to know through this community, Hive has taught me consistency, patience, and how to show up even when I don’t feel like it, It has also helped me grow as a writer in my own small way, I write better now than I did four years ago, and that alone means a whole lot to me.

Not exaggerating or anything but if I look at the people I talk to on a daily, they are people I met here on Hive, People who started as usernames and profile pictures but slowly became real friends

People who check up on me, support my posts, and genuinely care about how I’m doing, and sincerely I would always be grateful that I know them, I would have loved to mention names but I'm sure they will still see it here when they visit this post.

Hive has been more than a platform to me, see, hive has been a safe space, it is a place where I can be myself without pretending to be someone else, it is a place where I know that my thoughts are very valid and my voice truly matters, even when I feel small in my real life.

So yes, I know that I still have a long way to go, both on Hive and in my life generally , but see I am proud of myself for lasting this long, Four years is not small and it is not beans, see it has been four years of writing , learning, disappearing for a while and coming back, and still choosing to stay.

I am happy I am a Hiver, So here’s to more growth, more writing, more connections, and more milestones to attain. Cheers guys.
