My Hive Love Affair
24 days ago, I came out to the open and posted my self-introduction post here in Hive. Although I have created my account in April, I didn't do anything at that time, the reason being is that I am a shy person and I always find it hard to ask questions openly. That in turn made me stay on the sidelines. Additionally, I was busy on other things offline that I didn't take time to learn how the platform works. I did a few posts from August to October mostly about my walks through Actifit app.
Although I felt intimidated, I convinced myself to start my writing journey here so I deposited 11 Hive to my account. I was just glad that my online friend, @coquicoin helped me by providing valuable tips and recommendations that she learned along the way. We both challenged ourselves to keep going and enjoy the process too. Little did we know that coming here will bring excitement and the urge to learn more each and every day.

So if you are reading this and you are there, staying on the sidelines and are just watching things happen, do yourself a favor and pinch your cheek maybe, or slap your face even to wake yourself up and break out of your cocoon, LOL! I am sure you will not regret it because I don't. In fact, I wished I started soon, even questioned why I didn't get to meet Hive earlier (I learned that it had been 4 years since Hive's inception), to which my husband answered with a little sarcasm, "it's because you were not looking!" And he was right, but it is not too late at all, I think I am just right on time.
It is very heartwarming too, that the different communities here are very supportive and welcoming. They are accommodating so it is not at all scary to ask questions. Additionally, the support we get from fellow Hivers is also one of the factors that push us to keep going and do better.
Checking my progress now, I am just happy that I took the first step of this adventure.
At first glance, it may look like I wasted a few good months from the time I signed up, but I am just happy that I got here, and I'm going to stay for good, so I have since been powering up.
It is humbling too because just when we thought we know something, we get to find out that we knew nothing or very little at all.
I have many things yet to learn and at times I feel overwhelmed, but all I need is some time off for myself, wander around with nature, a little pat on the back from a fellow Hiver, and I found myself zealous to do things, learn and write yet again.
In fact, Hive makes me get too focused that the farm boy would beg me to take a break, and sometimes, he does it in style too. For instance, today while I was too engrossed writing this, he brought me this milk tea as his bribe, LOL!
Yes, loving Hive is one beautiful affair that I will never intend to break up with unless I am breathing no more :)
So thank you #Hive and all amazing Hivers for making this FarmGirl's heart glow, each and every day.
I am also enjoying here in Hive hihi. And we have the same regrets , same as @Eybyoung and others. Why we didn't discover it early but like what I said , its not late to be a bee in hive hehe.
Cheers sis! hehe. We are just right on time :)

Hi, sis! I don't want to think about the time that we could have used before here, but about the future that we have ahead. What I do know is that my love for Hive grows every day with the countless possibilities it offers. So let's keep rocking the Hive together :)
Hahaha, yes sis! No regrets but thankful that we are here and loving every single day. Cheers sis, let's keep rocking indeed hihihi
I still don’t think there’s anyone in love with Hive than I do haha, but welldone you’ve just expressed how much you both are in love. I’d love to one day share mine too.
Haha, it wasn't love at first sight, it is love growing each day so Hive is safe with us, lol! Would love to read it when you do @rufans :)
I hope I remember to tag you haha.
I hope you won't :) Will be waiting!
Very inspiring post. I feel the same way about knowing Hive earlier. I'm also a shy type of person a silent reader rather than a sharer. I guess being in the hive is not just for a one-sided person as they said it takes two to tango. You need to engage as well not just to read or to share and leave your audience hanging. I'm still learning a lot more because I am not good at writing and this is one of the weaknesses I am facing to improve. Hive brings encouragement in me and made me realize how far I can be from writing. More writings and sharing for us. Hello by the way 🤗
Hello @coffee247, so nice to meet you here, and thank you for your very kind remarks. And you are absolutely correct about engagement here. Not only does it provide exposure, but we can also learn from what we read or engage with. Let's keep learning and one day soon, we will be great at it. So yes, cheers to more writing and sharing :)
It's my pleasure to meet you too. I was shy to comment and follow at first, I don't want to be that feeling close person 🤭. I just forgot what's the essence of joining here. I'm thankful to @romeskie her dedication and continuous guide. Sooner we will be a butterfly lol.
It is so good when someone is supportive when we are feeling less confident :) @romeskie is definitely a wonderful soul. I often see her name mentioned as one who got them started and guided them through. Yey to that, I just imagined what color I'd be when I grow wings hihihi. Cheers sis!
She's superb very hands na ata sa lahat ng bagay. Yung pag introduce nya kay Hive is not pushy very simple and detailed explanation. We will be colorful like our referror 🦋
She is really awesome :) And you are fortunate to have said yes to her invitation :) And I believe what you say, ang sarap imaginin yung colorful wings hihihi
Yiieeee! We in the onboarding team are just very happy to help! :) Just ask questions and we'll help you. Pag alam ko ang sagot, good. Haha. Pag di ko alam ang sagot, hahanap tayo ng makakasagot sa tanong natin. :)
Yehey! Salamat po :) I will do that pag meron akong d ma-gets :) So far, natututo na din ako from reading your updates and onboarding replays :)
I was alo very shy when I started. I don't know what to say or what to comment, and nagkaka-anxiety attack ata ako kapag may comment sa post ko na di ko alam sagutin. Haha. But nasanay din as I went along. :) Just keep on learning, posting, and keep on loving Hive. :)
Thank you for that encouragement and I believe so, that is why I am always hungry to learn more, and that includes loving Hive every single day :) Salamat :)
am so glad you are having a great time here in hive sis.. yay!
Haha, yes sis! Happy weekend :)
THank you for the shoutout! That means a lot. I may not be online always or may skip some of your blogs but please do continue to write no matter what!
My pleasure and many thanks too :) Yes, I will surely do that :) Cheers!
Good to see that you are having great time on the hive platform..
Yes, very much so :) Thank you and I hope you are doing the same :)
Yeah I am doing fine..you are welcome
Hive is a great place to be and what makes this so is because of the wonderful people in it.

Just keep doing what you do best and it will all start to bare fruit
