Hive journey wasn't smooth but luckily I didn't left

Hive is a Web 3.0 platform, and it's known to all. The decentralization is the beauty of this platform, and I really like this platform very much because I have freedom of speech and nobody can restrict me from sharing my thoughts or opinions.

It's been more than 3 years since I am on this platform. During the time I gained experience and knowledge, and I am continuously trying to do better here. I am really lucky to come to this platform, and I made some achievements also. 3 years of journey is not a huge time, but it's not little either.

In the beginning, I had no idea about the Hive platform. I just knew that it was a writing platform, and I used to share some articles here that I published on other writing platforms. Honestly, I came to this platform to earn some extra, as I used to write posts to publish on other platforms. My engagement was very low, and I didn't receive any reward, and I became demotivated. Naturally, within a few weeks, I lost motivation and left this platform.

I can't recall the reason why I decided to come back to this platform again after 2 months. I was active, and my engagement increased also. I started to acquire knowledge about this complex system of Hive. It was indeed a tough thing to understand, but I was learning little by little. Additionally, one of my friends also helps me a lot to understand this complex system.

Unfortunately, my examination occurred, and I spent all my time on my study. After the examination, I lost motivation to write the article, and it took more than 4 months to return. The return was indeed difficult because it was like starting from the beginning, and all the friends I made earlier were earning quite well from here. I was not jealous, but I regretted staying inactive for so long, and it disappointed me several times. It was a complex feeling. So in the middle, I became inactive again, and it took me another 4 months to come back. But that time I was quite determined, and I gained good knowledge about Hive blockchain.

I came back here considering long-term perspectives, and I am lucky I made that decision. Engagement was not a problem for me anytime, but writing articles on a continuous basis was not an easy task. Finding a topic to write was the most difficult one for me. I discussed it with some of my friends, and they suggested me to participate in community contests, and it was a good suggestion. At the beginning I tried to write 3 articles in a week, then 4 then 5, and at last it turned into 7. So, with consistent effort, I became a user who published articles almost every day. I think little by little I started to enjoy this platform, and I make many friends here. And I don't know how I crossed two more years here. I didn't stop writing and forgot to show up here; it doesn't matter how busy I was. It's because I became used to with Hive platform, and right now I don't think about a life without this platform, although my offline activity is always my priority.

In terms of finance, I think Hive is very helpful for everyone, but I feel Hive is not for greedy ones. It's that I came here to earn money, and still I want to earn money here, but I don't feel disappointed if I don't receive upvotes in my post. It does not hurt me anymore because I think about it from a long-term perspective, and little ups and downs should not be counted. I am treating it as my business. Right now the earnings from here do not have any significant impact in my life, but I think it gives me confidence, as the earnings from hive is currently like backup money in my life.

I am lucky to come here early, and I only crossed 3 years. I am quite satisfied with my Hive journey, and I want to cross more years here. I want to grow old together with my other hiver friend.
