A LETTER TO YOU

It’s been a while I wrote a love letter to hive for being such a lovely place to me. I remember some days ago a friend was asking me how hive has been treating me and I remember my response to him was that anyway hive decides to treat me, I don’t think I can complain because I feel so privileged and blessed to be in this space. Joining hive has been one of the best choices I have made not just for myself but for everyone around me.

I remember writing in my introduction post that one of the reasons why I joined hive was so I can be able to affect more lives and right now, even though it’s not so much, I know that I’m doing that and it’s mostly thanks to hive. Thanks to everyone who has left their comments on my posts. To those who have genuinely supported my posts through upvotes and reblogs and to those whales who have sacrificed staking their hive to always support my posts. My heart goes to everyone who has in one way or another made my stay here memorable and worthwhile.

The things hive has helped me achieve in these past three years of my stay here is beyond what I can just mention in this post. I remember how sad I was when I was contemplating on my first power down. I wished there was another way but there wasn’t and the least I could do was be grateful that I at least had somewhere to fall back on. My plan was to keep giving to give at least half of what I get but life happened. Hive has come through for me in so many ways than I can mention. Thanks to hive, going to school isn’t as hard as I thought it would have been.

When I dedicate my time to hive, it is not just for what hive has given to me. It is also for what I want others to get from me through hive. I want to be a genuine hivian. One that stand the test of time. An hivian that is relentless and resilient, so that one day I can be a reference point to those who are yet to come and those who have always been here. My goal is simple. Give my best. I remember the month I was punished for using AI on my posts. That month wasn’t the worst as I thought it would be. It was a transformation month for me.

That month marked the beginning of a new chapter for me. I started seeing myself beyond the surface. I promised myself to be better. I listened to the correction and I’m so happy of the kind of writer I’m becoming. This was something I thought was impossible some few years back but see where I am now. This isn’t just by chance. Hive played a huge role in all of it and this post is just to leave a testimony to anyone that cares to know.

I didn’t just get here. I have never had any personal relationships with those that propelled me to where I am today on hive. Except my sister who brought me to hive. It was by God’s grace and also, I learnt how to do what I can the best way I can and be consistent at it too. I learnt to always follow the rules and ask questions and that propelled me to where I am. So if you ever want to grow on hive, you might also be like me who doesn’t have great connections but it is something you can build over time. Just stay consistent and always be willing to ask questions and learn.

Thank you for reading through. ❤️
