RE: I'm Officially Retiring from Writing Hive Posts

in #life11 months ago

Yeah, Hive posts came up a few times but for the most part, like the post says, I focused on my own thing. When I did Hive posts there was good advice and constructive criticism. Made sure to include some creativity in this one at least. The point though is stop focusing on things I can't change. Could be here in three years saying the same things. If it's worth it, people will figure it out on their own, eventually.

A wise way to approach life, in general.

And yeah, I have been guilty of posting about Hive - and even Finance - a couple of times, in the past. But, as soon as something is not creative enough for me, I lose the fun or make a change/ change my approach. If this isn't possible, I leave.

Finally, at the age of 41, I have unlocked the key to having a little more fun and enjoying life a little more - relaxing more, instead of, I guess, trying to change the world and fighting myself.

I'm done with overthinking everything, it hasn't served me well.

Yeah. Some stressful elements make this too much like a job when really the goal was to have some fun and make some money, more like busking. Show up, do whatever, hope people like it, move on, rinse and repeat. And it's been good to me.

Tell me about it, I have been addicted to this place for 6 years now.

It's like Hotel California:

You can check in anytine you want but you can never leave...

It has been good to me too though, otherwise I would have actually left.

The issue I always brought up boiled down to the fact consumers earn as well and it's really hard to screw that up. There is a push now to shed more light on that element, so my efforts were not a waste. Having more of them also helps motivate content creators. Then that issue of people leaving so often isn't as much of an issue.

But I'm done talking about this. lol
