I always cherish the month October.
Back in 2017, it marked the beginning of a life-changing journey. October 2017 followed a few months of disbelief, deep reflection, my resignation from my day job, and countless other changes
I knew I had to look beyond what was already built for me, because it simply wasn’t enough. Even then, I felt certain that I would never settle for the ordinary. I wanted to create something new, something that truly expressed me.
After doing lots of research (and I mean lots of it), without using AI and without all the content that there is now, I sent a sign up request on steem hive .. I did not expect that it would be so quick. On this day, 8 years ago, I was accepted and I stepped into that exciting new world filled with curiosity, hope, and dreams.
I do not want to bore you know with lots of details, but I want to share this.
I spent almost 20 days reading for hours and hours until I decided to write my own post. And it was the end of October when I did.
For this post, I decided to make a small giveaway. I may continue also with more giveaways soon, that will depend on a few other factors.

How did you survive a social network for 8 years? haha. I met many wrong ones here. And stayed for the good ones. Congrats to you for being this consistent.
This is as you said, a social network as many others - so there are different people, different communities etc. I focused on the good things and in good people, chose to invest my time here and expanding my network/knowledge :)

STOPA beautiful Eight Hiveversary to you. This is a great moment of reflection and achievement for a whole 8 years. I'm sure you've gathered lots of experiences, met people on the chain who encouraged you, many came in, some left while others remained. Today, you were able to celebrate this day with gratitude. 🙏
I hope you get to celebrate more years and achieve more. Happy 8 years on Hive. 🥳 🎉

This is so inspiring and motivating.
I have only been here for about 3 years and yet I sometimes feel writer's lag. I feel unmotivated to keep writing due to so many factors.
While reading your post, I kept thinking how you managed to keep up with all that hive has to offer. Writing content, trading, learning about crypto currency and more.
I also thought about how you coped with zero visibility on your contents and how you navigated through it.
Wow, eight twonderful years it is.
You are just amazing to have held on this far.
So here's my goodwill message to you.
Happy eighth anniversary. Keep up the good work on hive and keep thriving.
Cheers 🥂🥂.
@luchyl, thanks for the invite sis.
@rukkie and @ellizy needs to see this.
You're welcome sis, her story is indeed motivating, and we hope to keep pushing forward.
