MY BOLD STORY

Courage is said to be mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand fear or difficulty. This strength, however, does not resonate with me. I am Favour Olayinka Ogunyemi. All my life, I have been so fearful, scared of everything. Fear of failure, fear of putting out the best in me, fear of showing the world that which I am truly capable of, and most importantly, fear of what the future holds for me; all of these occupied a space in that mansion called ME.

As a result of this, I find it difficult to come to a decision about what I truly want to be, do, or achieve. Everything about me seems so vague and obscure, and I thought I would never amount to something. Nevertheless, I said to myself, “Favour, you have to beat this fear and do something.”. Since I am a lover of books, I took the bold step of creating a WhatsApp community where book lovers with like minds can unite and connect with one another through the power of books, thus creating an atmosphere of healing in all areas of life—psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, academically, and in all circles of life. At first, I never expected this community to thrive. However, I am glad to say that there are over 250 participants in this community.

Secondly, joining Hive has provided an opportunity for me to maximize those hidden potentials in me. These bold steps of mine have been the stepping stone into becoming an ideal version of myself, as a bibliophile and as a writer. It enabled me to look into my most powerful self and find in myself an individuality, uniqueness, and distinctiveness that are akin to that kind of personality that the world needs. Have you ever been locked up in a prison of disbelief about yourself? What bold step have you taken to free yourself from it?

Like I said earlier, I am Favour Olayinka Ogunyemi. I was born and brought up in Lagos, Nigeria. Presently, I am a 200-level student of the Department of English in the prestigious University of Lagos.

Actually, I never knew I was going to become a writer or even develop an interest in writing. I've always wanted to be a newscaster. Yes, because I love talking. In fact, while growing up, I talked a lot. But I talk to only family and friends. This is as a result of me being shy whenever I find myself around people who are not so close to me. However, I found myself studying English at the university, not because of Jamb issues or cut-off mark issues, but because I chose to study English, which I find myself loving anyways.

Writing for me is one thing that I can easily resonate with. All thanks to some wonderful persons in my life who have encouraged me so far. Unilag, in general, has brought me in contact with people who made me look into my inner self and connect with the real me.


Thus, I look forward to learning and enjoying wonderful experiences on Threads and with every one of you. Kindly share your knowledge with me because I'm new to this.Before I forget, I was introduced to Hive by @fashtioluwa, whom I met through my sister @adugbemi-ojo. We joined the same day, and I had to ask a lot of questions because most of the things he told me, I still don't understand, but I am open to learning.

We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.Welcome to the Hive community @favourolayinka!

Seven suggestions to consider:

  1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
  2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, Keychain, Peaklock, and Hivesigner,
  3. The master password and the owner key are only used to reset compromised passwords,
  4. DO NOT lose your password or keys; copy and store offline,
  5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
  6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
  7. DO NOT OPEN any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Hiveans available who can help you; you can click to go to The Terminal in Discord here:
