This amount of kindness?! I'm really happy, thanks a lot much dear Caroline :))
So, seems to be same as me! 2024 I could just link my Strava activity to Hive, and I use to write in Persian there. Now in this medium I'll continue in a more appropriate way. Just hope to be able have consistency, that absolutely makes things better.
Your kind words will help me absolutely. I just don't have enough data about how to use Hive things. I should learn :)
Actually things are going well, should going well! Because we must continue, life is beautiful!
I'll write more about happenings. Again I should say that your comment was a huge motivation for me. Tnx tnx :))
It is easy to be kind to kind people, brother. I'm glad my words could lift you.
If I can offer some guidance re. Hive (as I've done a lot of things here over the years):
It can be as complicated or simple as you like. You don't have to do all the complex stuff. Simply writing a post about what you're thinking, feeling or experiencing in your own life and adding even a single photo that somehow connects with the words and doing that regularly will be enough for now.
If you find communities you resonate with, posting them into those communities (while following their rules) will help a lot as well.
But do spread your insights and your kindness, Navidoo. Because the world needs more of it, in all the places, including here on Hive.

Oh my god, thanks a lot, you're right I'll think about communities 2 weeks later, I think about expressing my inside personally.
I believe that it's better to not expect others attentions, and for that reason I try to do it easier and maybe more real, imagining I want to check my memories next year myself.
You're welcome. Yes, I think it's good to check what our expectations are and if we're just doing things for attention. But also, if you don't get attention on here then you won't get upvotes and if you're not getting enough upvotes then it can be hard to stay motivated to write. Because if the attention really wasn't important to you then you'd just write in a private journal and never show it to anyone, right?
I try to be as authentic as possible. I try to find a balance of writing about what I actually want to write about. I try to only read posts I'm interested in reading. And I try to only spend my time commenting on people's posts I think I would actually like to meet in real life.
I think these are useful philosophies to live by here on Hive. At least, that's what I'm doing. If I can focus on being myself and being as honest as possible in the way I communicate then the HIVE and HBD I make as a result is the bonus. The real reward is probably the connections I make. But without the crypto reward I know I would find it hard to keep making the time to get on here.
Actually I agree with most of your long comment :)
And I should mention that in my situation Hive is almost a private journal! I don't know why it's like that exactly! That it means I'm comfortable here :)
