I always feel awkward when I have to talk about myself, but I'm here to step out of my comfort zone, so... let's do this.
I've known the hive community and the platform's potential for a long time, but until now, I haven't dared to create a profile with my drawings. I have drawn mainly to myself; it was difficult to share it. I decided to change it, that's why I'm here. The number of great artists on Hive intimidates me, but I can't make excuses any longer. I know that I will feel good here; I only need a little time to get used to show what has been hidden so far. It is a tough test for an introvert :)
I am looking for a piece of space for my emotions and feelings that often demand release. Usually, it's hard to find the right words to express them. Or... I know the words but don't dare to use them. They seem too strong or vulgar. It's easier to scribble something ;)
I'm 47, and I play many roles in life. I have family and friends, but I don't really want to write about relationships here. Let them stay my private space.
I work professionally as a graphic designer, mainly in marketing. I have no education in this field; I learned everything by myself. I rarely draw in my work; I don't have the opportunity to do so. Honestly, I feel a little burned out now and am looking for a way to regain the joy of my current job.
For about 1.5 years, I have also been very interested in cryptocurrencies, although I knew about them before. After reading the book "The Bitcoin Standard," I changed my thinking about the world, traditional finance, and new technologies. This topic didn't exist before; I had no idea that I could realistically create an alternative future. I also see Hive as part of this future.
I also take my first steps in trading, although I must admit that it is a hard lesson for an emotional person like me. Both my first successes and failures are behind me. I didn't think that this profession would require deep development in the mental and emotional sphere and a complete remodeling of thinking about finances. I thought it was enough to learn the chosen strategy well to become the court's queen of the trading floor. Yeah, everyone is allowed to dream 😉. However, I do not regret anything because these complex changes positively affect my life.
So I am a mix of contradictions. On the one hand, I love to hide in my comfort zone, believing that the world is stable and nothing can surprise me; on the other - I'm still looking for my way of life. I look for new ideas and people who will inspire me. I'm always learning something.
I am a very emotional introvert with an artistic soul, and at the same time, I dream of becoming a trader.
You could say that I should be thinking about retirement, but I'm just getting started.
I don't know which way my profile will evolve. I'm going to publish my drawings and maybe something more. One thing is for sure - all the works I show are mine. Most often, they are simple illustrations or sketches. Sometimes I make collages or rework old prints, but I always use public domain images (and I inform about that). I respect people's creativity, and I want mine to be respected.
Well, that's all for now... the first challenge is done.
See You 💚

Also, letting you know, since content on the Hive platform is monetized, using other people’s ideas or images could be considered as an offense and which is also viewed in a serious light on the blockchain. Here is a useful collection of resources about how plagiarism and abuse is viewed and handled on Hive.
