This HIVE project is one of the few, perhaps one of the only ones (although I don't know them all), that plays heavily with emotions.
Here it's not just reward, nor is it just a social network, nor is it just a game, nor is it just DeFi. It's pure and strong emotion.
I haven't even been a user for two years, but I observe many older users, like you. What I see is exhausting fatigue and frustration because the objectives are not being achieved. HIVE follows the market. Everything is low, and this aggravates fatigue, frustration, and deals heavily with the emotional side. Anything serves as an argument to jump ship, to take the easy way out.
Therefore, I understand the dilemma: stay or leave? It seems obvious that the current environment isn't the best, but it's a consequence of what I mentioned in the previous paragraph. I believe that time will help to put everything in order, and abandoning it doesn't seem to be the best strategy.
I reiterate, the emotional side is very present in everything we've seen and experienced at HIVE. I draw an analogy with a romantic relationship. When love isn't going well, often because it's not going the way we want (often ignoring the fact that love is a two-way street, not just for ourselves), we question everything and even its permanence.
Now, love brings suffering. It's part of it. Adapting to what we don't like is part of it, especially when we can't change it.
I see your post more as a loving outpouring than an attempt at farewell.
I don't like giving advice, but given that you're not indifferent to me, I'll take a chance.
As I mentioned before, I'm very observant (often silently and secretly). I've noticed that two users in the recent past decided to leave HIVE. But they returned. And I'd even say they came back better (lighter) and, surprisingly, the rewards from their posts are even better than before (before they wanted to leave).
Therefore, why don't you consider taking a break from your love? Giving it space. Not seeing it, not participating. Not suffering in advance. Let go, until the day your heart makes peace with the emotion.
Then you come back stronger and with the hope that no, you won't have to work your whole life. When you sow potatoes, you don't harvest beans.
Nota: desculpa o comentário ser tão longo, mas só podia ser assim 😀
Bacana demais o seu comentário mano, eu gostei de ler e fico feliz por você ter escrito ele, isso realmente foi incrível. Acho que é igual você falou, dar um tempo, esperar um pouco, deixar o tempo passar, focar em alguma outra coisa e voltar depois, ou pelo menos dar uma diminuída algo assim.
Vou ver o que fazer, estou usando IA feito louco para criar algumas coisas que sempre tive vontade, então estou bem focado nisso, acho que vou diminuir os posts e talvez foque mais nos snaps ou outros microblogs, vamos ver como vai ser.
De qualquer forma muito obrigado pelo apoio mano, palavras sabias sempre são bem vindas! Muito obrigado!
Bravo. Obrigado
