I think that we all have masks as in various camouflages for different people in various situations. Here on Hive is different because there are a lot of valuable users with whom you can genuinely connect.
I believe that people reveal themselves in their own rythm and the right ones can and will read between the lines. In a world of many social media channels where one has to scream for attention, Hive feels like a welcoming place where the only effort you have to make is to be yourself. It takes time, it is slow, it is build gradually... But it is the only way to feel like a part of something.
If someone would see just the pictures of you G. they would believe you are in the army top notch super tough hardcore guy. Which you are. But for those who read you... There is more to your story. And that makes the whole Hive experience priceless. I am suprised I didn't see a lego in all of those pictures hahaha, maybe it is undercover so nobody would know you're such a Lego guy hihi

This is true Mary...There's a few here I engage with a lot, very few I engage with a lot off-chain too. It's those that have revealed a little more of themselves to me, and I them. They saw deeper than the words I wrote and so we are closer.
Some see me clearly Mary, they read what I write and see past the actual words, they see the person. It is rare, there's very few here, and I cherish them. You're right, I'm more than people see here in my images, much more. I think that's why I get annoyed when people label me...Yes, I get annoyed. Maybe not outwardly so much, but just to myself. I'm far more than what people see...Probably like most here. But hive is a good place and we connect when it's right to do so and in the manner in which is most appropriate.
There is more to my story...And yep Lego is part of it. I was building tonight actually....And connecting off-chain with someone which was nice.
Putting a label to a person is very limitating but it is done only for those who want mental shortcuts. Thinking outside the box requires effort. Not everybody uses this thing called brain at the maximum capacity. It is unfortunate because somebody can miss opportunities and great relationships just because they rushed to label someone in a wrong way
People are judgemental...If they were not so quick to judge they may find more solid relationships around them from people they had previously, or hastily, cast aside.
