Celebrating My 100th Blog on Hive. 100 Blogs of Love, Life & Learning.

Today is very special for me because THIS IS MY 100th BLOG on Hive!!! Wooohhhoooo!!!

Honestly, I never thought I would reach this far. When I first joined Hive last March 23, 2025, thanks to @antonette, who onboarded me, I was shy and unsure of myself. I was not confident in writing. I always thought I was not good at it. But look at me now, I have written 100 blogs!

At the start, I really struggled. I didn’t know how to use the platform, and I was very careful with the rules. Still, I made some mistakes in some communities. But I am thankful, because instead of rejecting me, they guided me. They gave me advice on what to do next time. That encouragement helped me to continue.

Now, I have written in 13 different communities already:
• @worldmappin – 46 blogs
• @aseanhive – 35 blogs
• @hiveph – 4 blogs (+ this one, my 100th!)
• @bayanihive – 2 blogs
• @agriculturalmindset – 1 blog
• @hivefood – 1 blog
• @oliodebalena – 1 blog
• @beer – 1 blog
• @photography – 2 blogs
• @dailyblog – 1 blog
• @reflections – 1 blog
• @motherhood – 2 blogs
• @hivegraden – 2 blogs

Each community taught me something new, and each blog became part of my growth.

Blogging was not my thing before. But now, Hive has become like my diary. I share my experiences as a teacher, a mom, a student, and just as a simple person trying to live her best life. Through Hive, I met friends from different places, learned so many things from other writers, and discovered new ideas. This platform really helped me grow every day. It tested my patience, improved my time management, and pushed my creativity.

What I love most about Hive is that it values real stories. I don’t need to pretend or create a perfect image. I can just be myself, a woman trying her best to balance work, school, and family. And every time I write, I feel lighter, as if I have shared a piece of my heart with friends.

Hive also made a difference in my financial life. I earned from my posts—some bigger, some smaller—but each one helped me a lot. I was able to pay my bills, buy groceries, and keep my internet connection. For a beginner writer like me, this means so much.

Every morning, I am always excited to check my posts. When I see love (heart) from @appreciator, @mcgi.cares, @qurator, @steemed-proxy, @bayanihive, @hiveph, @discovery-it, and others, it truly makes my day. It inspires me to keep going and to write more.

Thank you so much, Hive. You gave me a space where I can write freely, without fear of being laughed at. There are no bashers here, only people who connect and help one another.

This 100th blog is not the end. It is just the beginning. I want to write more, share more, and grow more here on Hive. I love you, Hive, and thank you very much for being part of my journey. 💖

✨ To my readers and friends on Hive, thank you so much for being with me since the beginning. Sir @vinzie1, @diosarich, @krissymayol, @antonette, thank you for the guidance. Every comment, every upvote, and every kind word encouraged me to keep writing until I reached this 100th post. You are all part of my journey, and I am truly grateful. I hope you will continue walking with me as I write my next 100 blogs and beyond.
