My introduction post

My brain tricked me into falsely claiming an ineptitude disposition as my resolve.

Hi guys, my name is Kevin Friday, I'm a final year medical student studying in one of Nigeria's finest institutions.
I got to know about the Hive from a friend during one of our chats. We were searching the web for opportunities in cryptocurrency and specifically looking for presale meme coins and after then, he decided to return a favour by telling me about the hive.

As one with a curious personality, I immediately dived in and signed up on this platform offered by the hive. I sent him a couple of messages on how to best use the hive and he just sent me a link and did a little explanation on what it was about. Truth be told, I was more confused like "what exactly was I going to be doing over there". I went through the home page and just saw videos, did a little more touring and got to know about some communities and then, there came the biggest challenge of my life.

I stopped for a while, paused and realize I haven't put myself out here before, this was going to be my first time, it wow me, I was quite excited but my excitement was cut short. I began to sob, anxiety and fear came in immediately " what was I going to post", what content do I think I'd be good at? Then my brain just said, " you would fail woefully".

The nostalgia was unrelatable. I wanted to write because that's what I believe I can do. Though I'm a newbie in writing, why can't I excel on the platform? It's a skill set I told myself. If others are excelling there, then even I can excel.

So take that bold first step to get started and my brain, maybe my mind was just my biggest undoing. I struggle a lot trying to overcome myself and put myself in public though not really that I'm shy but the fear of doing awful work that may just destroy everything I'm trying to build.

So this particular evening I noticed I was just writing and I felt a bit confident in my writeup and recently I've gotten compliments from some persons on social media where I decided was my best start. I also got a call from my supervisor on my final year project work, telling me she is impressed with my work so far though there were a few errors. I felt bold enough to subdue my thought to align with my belief and abilities. I've looked down on my writing prowess in recent times and now is the right time for me to show that, as what I can offer.

I learnt to avoid the trick my brain was palying on me " the game of fear and incompetence". I'm here to grow and become adept at my skill and contribute my part to grow this community and make memorable experiences and memories here.

Thank you for having me here, it is a pleasure and a privilege.
