Hello Everyone!!!
I hope so you all are fine and happy 😊
Many people come and go from our life and we call it life. But sometimes we can't forget some names because they came to our life for a purpose and that purpose changes our life the most that we can't even imagine at that time.

when curious cat joined hive!!!
It's been almost 5 years now that i always find some ways to earn some passive money especially after the COVID-19. I worked on the YouTube and then pause my channel because it's hard to get monetized over there. Then i joined readcash and noisecash which are web 3 application and waya to earn money just by uploading your real content.
I've a friend on noisecash @idksamad78699 who always shares his link of ecency post in noisecash and I always curious to know about Ecency as at that time i didn't know anything about hive. I think it's something Ecency. I connected to him in a chat and asked for help. I still remember that i find it difficulty to create an account through Ecency but then @tahastories1 helped me to create an account on hive.
But i didn't know anything about hive. As hive is a deep sea where we can only dive. I again asked for the help and one of my friend from noisecash refers me to @mypathtofire and i think he's my mentor on hive. I learned many things from him. I can't forget his name too.
What I like most about hive???
If i like something about hive is that we are in contact with different people from every corner of the world. Although I'm good in English but i saw many people here that can't write in English but then an English translator is best for them to use. It means people can write in their languages too and then can use the translator.
Hive pays me for my words, for my connection to the people. I know that in mostly web 2 like YouTube, Instagram, ticktock they have condition of subscribers and watch time to monetize Your content but hive monetize Your content even after 1 subscriber. I remember that with few subscriber's i get the upvotes from people on my first post and i love it too how they welcome me warmly on hive.
Why I'm still on hive??
We all know that hive value is below 10 cents. You know when I joined hive almost 2.5 years hive value was almost 45 cents and people had hope to reach it till 1$. But now all hopes vanished and now the value of hive below ten cents. But people are still here like me and you who are reading my post now 😜
I know that i joined Hive to earn some passive income, although i know it too that even after 2.5 years rewards on my posts aren't so big that if some other person was at the place of mine he'll surely left the hive because of low rewards but I'm still here because I've a connection with people.

Hangouts on discord related to hive!!
The connection with people is the reason to stay here, you know that hive is connected to discord too and i joined some hangouts on discord where I love to stay in contact with some people just like the,
- Monday hangout of Hive learners community
- Wednesday Hump day hangout by @ph1102
- and then the amazing hangout of PYPT by @shadow on every Thursday.
And this all connection is because of hive. Even on the discord but because of hive.
Although it's not necessary to join each and every hangout but i can join and listen to them and talk to them when I've time. That's the flexibility and relaxibility i love about hive too that there's no forcing and punishment if i can't attend any hangout.
Keeps encouraging me!!!
If i feel bad, especially stressed and i write a short post or long post about it people encourage me with their kind words, although they're only words but they provide me a positive energy and helps me to stay positive. I saw bullying in web 2 on YouTube, Instagram, tick-tock and Facebook that people leave bad comment's under your post but in Hive i feel that people try to leave positive comments under posts. They're not bullying each other on hive. Maybe bullying is present on hive but i never saw it.
I feel like a friendly and politely behavior from users on hive, although there's a option of downvote too but at least people don't use bad language in comment section and by chance if 2% people use ad language we can block them but truly i never saw a comment using bad words under my post. Maybe that's why i always share my burden, stress and feelings on hive to listen some encouraging words from people. I still remember a comment on my post from @shawnnft that Les you're not alone to have stressed, everyone has problems but they're different from you and believe me these words helps me to recover myself that I'm not alone who's suffering.
Final thought's!!
At the end i only want to say that money isn't always the reason of staying, Money can't be a reason of stay for the long term because everyone wants more money and he'll leave when he'll get more money from other places. Even at this value of Hive I'm here because of people and friends as i feel like a home here and that's enough to stay here.
That's all for today and it's my entry in hive creator's initiative contest and i want that @lhes @ifarmgirl @gwajnberg @ladyaryastark also tell us why you're here on hive?? And if you want to know about contest you can get details from here.
Thanks a lot for the invitation! I feel almost the same about staying at Hive 😊

I love Hive so much and yes, most of us aren’t here alone for the money but connection. I have made some kinds of friends that has kept me coming back to Hive. Apart from that, people don’t discourage, unlike on other Web2 platforms; instead they give nice comments to keep encouraging you.
Yes we've certain friends here who are the reason to stay here and yes people leave good comments and i like it the most

What a beautiful post and a nice reflection on your journey, Les! It is interesting that those "core Hivians," as you, came to HIVE for a completely different reason, but when they found the community, connections, and bonds, they stayed for the people!
I recall that I joined the chain because of Splinterlands, and I had no idea about the blogging aspect of the chain at all. I came in search of a way to earn some spare money by playing games, and in the end, I met many great people here, not just online, but also offline.
There is no price you can tag on that!
Thanks for the mention! Recently, I had some regular offline work every Wednesday, so I couldn't do the #HHHLive... Hopefully, I will continue with it after the holidays... I miss it a lot!

Hi ph!!! Yeah it's interesting when we joined hive it's because of earning some extra money by blogging or by games.... I didn't know at the first that hive has games too which pay. But still I don't play games on hive...
Don't worry about the show, yeah I miss the show too but i told you that after DST it's hard for me to joined the show because time don't change here but yes on your side it does. Let's see when we'll connect again in #HHHLive hangout
Thank you for your appreciation and pick my post
Have a good day 🥰
