Today, I had a deep reflection about my journey so far in #hive and generally. Being in the Hive space for 2 years is enough to tell someone how much I know about the project and its benefits. What I am about to share may be some thoughts of the newbie or growing users in Hive, but it is best you see this view from my perspective.
Certainly, it is expected that my account must have gotten to a thousand HP looking at my years of experience in the community. Sadly, it is not so. Could it be that I am at fault, or do we blame Hive? LOL! This is it. Hive has nothing to do with inconsistency or lack of dedication and commitment in growing my account. If we view Hive as a money-making hub, you may get disappointed at the first instance. The alternative thing is to see Hive as a web3 social media platform for interaction, learning, connecting, and growing. With that, when value is offered, value is attracted.
However, my absence from the space for some months came as a result of preparation for my final year examination in the college; it came out successfully, and thank God for that. Coming back to Hive seemed difficult because you need to build visibility again by being consistent in engagements. Sometimes I do write a beautiful article, yet not one person probably read it; it can be disheartening at times. Yet it is not HIVE to be blamed! What matters now is to keep writing, sharing my stories, learning by reading other people's posts, engaging by commenting, reblogging, etc. Once I make this a hobby, I create value, and in turn it attracts value.
The amazing thing is that 2025 happens to be the year I share the gospel of Hive with many people around me, especially those who have amazing talents but do not know which platform to exhibit them on. So, while ranting about the no-voting in your blog, check about your consistency and your quality of posts (most importantly too). THAT IS MY MESSAGE.
The fact remains, IT IS NOT HIVE; IT IS ABOUT YOU!
