The BENEFITS of HIVE to me

Some of my friends from the Philippines left or stopped posting. I encouraged them to keep on posting but at the same time, I can't blame them. The first thing in their mind why coming here in hive is money. It's obvious I think even for all of us. Maybe the other hive owners are not their top priority. All of us are not the same but forgive me if I said, "you are still thinking of money."

Sometimes I was like my friends who left hive. The only difference for me to them is the thoughts of leaving. Even though it's kind of sad not seeing them here again posting. We have our own decisions and that alone should be respected. The only thing I never thought of leaving because I know there are so many things I could learn here in hive.

The time I spent writing without earning at least 1 hive is a big thing. Imagine the hard work I put and didn't pay me back. I know this is one of the reasons why my friends left. They're expecting money but they're not having it. Although I could say they're not widened what hive could give them. They're just thinking for one single thing and that's why they left. Money is everything after all.

Don't think of me as an arrogant person if I say I'm thinking well. I'm thinking ahead of them. That's why I'm still here staying in hive despite unsure earnings. You will believe me or not but what I'm going to tell you is what on my mind from the time I realised the importance of hive platform.

To tell you the truth, my English vocabulary is improving because of hive. Sometimes I accidentally read my writings from Facebook. After I posted it here on hive I posted it on Facebook as well. It's just part of my selfless love maybe. I was able to write in English. I know I wasn't thinking that the grammar and the words were plunging. When I read it now and thanks for the memories of Facebook. It reminds me of how I was so bad in English before.

I felt ashamed of myself reading my work before. I compared sometimes and the difference is huge. Sometimes I thought of not posting it before. Well, you will just realise it if you will accept that you still have plenty of room to learn. Just saying sorry for my writing before. I promise that I will make it better now. But let's stop for my shameful confession. lol

If they just not focus themselves on the money. Hive for sure will help them in many things. Photography, money-making, a place to go, artworks, video making, writing and many things. Actually, my journey of writing fiction and nonfiction stories started here. A lot of people are willing to help you if you're just willing to learn. These are just some of the benefits of why you should keep on staying here in hive. There are still things I don't know but I promise you that staying here is worth a precious time.

This is not a promotion post to hive. I'm just stating a fact here. I'm observing myself staying for more than two years. I'm not forcing everyone to join me but I just want to encourage them. I just want to share it to them how hive made write like this. I'm not that good maybe but compared to my older self. I'm definitely better and I will be better in the future to come.
