My 3rd Hive Anniversary: My Account Growth, Goal, and How Far Am I Now?

Hey, it's been 3 years since I started writing on Hive and I didn't even notice it. Time flies and I can't believe that I am still here, writing and curating content. I know that I am still far from my goal but at least I have made slow progress.

Recently, I posted a blog post about how did I joined Hive and well, it was because of Splinterlands and an invite from a friend. I never regretted the decision and consider it as one of my best decisions so I can continue to write and document my life.

As of now, my ultimate goal is to reach at least 5,000 HP and my goal for this year is to achieve 3,000 HP. I am still 302 HP behind from my goal but I am constantly working for it. I commit to at least 1 blog per week and I think it is better than nothing. I also share and write threads regularly because it sometimes gives more rewards than writing a long-form post.

I also do my best to participate in some contests of different communities on chains and get some rewards from it while increasing my social currency. It's always nice to create new friends and stay in contact with them. You never know if you will meet in the future or just purely a virtual friend.

Anyway, I currently see the potential growth at InLeo because they are now like a one-stop Hive app where you can mostly do everything; short and long form posts, short videos like TikTok, Threadcast, LeoDex, and more coming features from the team.

I can see the great effort given by the team by improving the user experience and providing useful features. One of the best features is being a premium user. This will be a quite ironic because I am not a premium user yet but I experienced it once and wants to purchase it when the chance hits.

As of now, I am only saving the rewards that I am getting from writing content and the curation rewards and just buying more Hive power to reach my goal. I don't really cash out much so I will reach my goal easily.

But to be honest, there are times that I wanted to stop doing the work on Hive because let's just be honest, for users like me who barely receive rewards, it's a bit discouraging even if you know to yourself that you write well-written blogs. There are times that you wrote and published more than 500-word blog, quality owned images, you still get few rewards and that's what I am experiencing even though I do not do what a usual user does in the community.

However, I still just trust the process and just continue to do the work. Sometimes, I don't see it as a work but just a habit of writing. I really want to document my life and go back to it in the future — well, that's what people say. Documenting your life could be the best choice.

Anyway, despite having these difficulties with my account, I keep working and striving on Hive. The productivity that it gives to me when I feel bored is just fulfilling; reading others’ stories and blogs, curation, and joining fun prompts with different communities.

For now, my goal is to achieve 3,000 HP while creating more friends on the platform. I really wanted to be involved in the communities that's why I am participating.

To be able to achieve these goals, here are my plans:

• Keep writing content even if it is a blog or informative article.
• Keep sharing threads on InLeo.
• Stay away from cashing out my earnings.
• Curate actively

I am now earning a decent amount of curation rewards so I just have to follow these plans for me to achieve my goals and somehow, laziness hits me and I end up not writing anything.

So yeah, this post is just a random celebration for my 3 years of writing and a bit of rants for my slow growth. I believe that I can achieve it soon!

And hey, wait for my next blog…it's just a bit of life update and personal blog.
