Hello, @sugarplum19! Welcome to Hive Blockchain! I'm sorry about your mother's story. your mother is a very strong woman. In Hive, of course, you can get a lot of new knowledge as well as share your own stories. for travel stories, you can share through Pinmapple Community, or about your family stories on Family & Friends Community.
Then, you can explore more communities that are suitable for your content and supported by OCD HERE
For tips and information as a Hive newbie, click here: newbie guide.
The important thing is Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms since you are monetizing your blog. You can't include content that you don't own without sources. For more information, check this post: Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise.
If you have questions or concerns, you can hop into OCD's Discord server and we'll gladly answer your questions.
I'm @anggreklestari from the @OCD team.
Have a great day!
