Firstly, congrats on the milestone! It is amazing how quickly time has especially with 2020 being almost erased from people's memories.
And secondly, your post has just confirmed all of my thoughts in the last couple of days. I have stumbled upon my introductory post about four years ago (on steemit!) and I cannot believe how life has changed from then till now.
I am happy that Hive and all of its communities have helped you, as it helped me as well and I am sure countless others. As you mentioned, in a world of so much segregation and unkindness, the communities on here are a light in the darkness.
I hope that you and all of us will grow even stronger roots and that we will bloom in the future! Congrats again.
Thank you @fermentedphil, wow the last 4 years have been a rollercoaster for me that is sure, but hey I am thriving now. Here's to stronger roots and stronger connections xxx
