One Month Down, Many More to Go!

Oh! Time flies so fast; it's been a month of being a blogger here in the hive community.

I joined last month, in July. I started posting my introduction on May 17, and I felt their warm welcome. Maybe this is what we call a monthary. Annyeonghaseyo, hivers. It's me once again, @jenajean. For today's blog, I want to share with you my experience as a blogger here in the hive community. What was your experience here in the hive? Is it good or bad? Do you already have many friends here? Do they support you and everything in your posts?

Now let's talk about mine. I already have a lot of blogs that I have posted; each blog consists of different scenarios. I already posted 16 blogs, and this is my 17th. Still, it's not enough for me. Even though it takes time to complete writing one blog, it can be a rewarding and valuable experience, and I'm happy with it. I gained many friends and knowledge and also gradually improved my writing skills by posting blogs. It's such a great experience for me as a student, and I could use this as a skill to learn more. I never regret joining here; in fact, I’m very thankful. I am thankful to those who helped me join this community and to those who taught me various things to improve in writing a blog.

To be honest, I’m the type of girl who doesn’t make first moves and just waits for someone to approach first. This results in me being shy around others because I don’t know how to communicate effectively, which can lead to negative behaviors. I want to try something that can help me get through this problem, and by joining this hive community, I think this might help me improve myself. I never had many friends throughout my life, and my only friends are those people who are my neighbors and blood relatives. I never had friends from a distant place. Communication is really important these days. This negativity in myself needs improvement. That’s why I’m very thankful to those people who helped me achieve my goal of self-improvement.

At first, I thought it'd be hard to make friends with strangers, especially with my attitude, but when I tried to be friends with strangers, I felt easy. So this is how to make friends, huh? I even made friends from another country. I'm glad that I have made friends with @riyat. Yeah, I thought of him as one of my friends. Do you think of me as your friend too, or maybe it's just me assuming things? I voted, commented, and reblogged his post; he did the same to mine. That's why, by doing so, I thought of him as my friend here in the hive. As they have said, "engagement is the key," and I agreed. You really need to engage with others so you can gain votes, comments, and reblogging; in short, you can gain a friend you can trust.

I’ve been here for a month, and I noticed there’s a lot of members here that keep posting their blogs, and so do I. I'm happy reading blogs with different scenarios or stories of people; it seems like in every blog I gain knowledge and learn new things. It seems like I'm also having adventures with different bloggers while they are traveling to different places. It's awesome reading them. I know it's bad to envy others, but yeah, sometimes I envy them, like, "Oh, how I wish I could travel to that place too," "how I wish I'm good at drawing and painting too," and "how I wish I'm good at singing too," but yeah, we must avoid it so we can fully live happily. Though I don’t mean harm to others, maybe someday we will be able to travel to different places. We must know how to wait patiently; in perfect timing, the Lord will make it happen, so be happy.

Some of the people that I envy sometimes, but I love them. Let's support and love them guys.

For the past few weeks, I really wanted to give up on writing a blog. I can’t just think of something to write or any stories to tell. But when I saw my co-workers posting blogs frequently, I felt jealous. They can post what’s on their mind easily and stories to tell. I ask myself, “Why can’t I? Is there anything wrong with me?" I can’t sleep thinking about why, and eventually I come up with the thought, "Maybe I have to change myself.” The negative thoughts should be replaced with some positivity. From then on, for those people who can post daily on their blogs, I make them my motivation to strive. We’re only humans, which makes us all fair. This positivity continues, and this improves me. Though there are few votes on my blog, I’m still happy to share all this with you guys. This is my journey, and it will continue with more adventures. I’m looking forward to it.

Oh! You're at the end of my blog. I hope you use this as motivation to post more and make more friends. Hopefully you’re happy reading my blog, hivers. I would be delighted and appreciate it if you could leave your support along with your kind words in the comment section. Thank you. May you have a good day.🥰🥰
