Minnowhood

I'm not one to bang my own drum normally, but in this world I find myself posting in becoming a Minnow seems to be a rather big deal so let's celebrate!

Whether you're a Will or Calton or you've no idea who they are...

Just do your thing

I've found in life just do your own thing your own way. If you succeed or not what matters is that you've been true to yourself and your ideals and to remember the folks that helped you along the way.

With a little help from our friends

For this part of the journey the number one guru/mentor has been @justinparke. With seemingly unlimited patience, wisdom and encouragement, he's helped me tremendously. I started at zero. With bicycles I love to ride them not fix them. For me writing is the same. I love to write but can't be too bothered with all the technical aspects here. Luckily for me I have friends that love tinkering with the more technical aspects of my interests. @justinparke and I are more than online friends. Before moving to Cambodia I somehow found him online and contacted him. Upon arriving in Kampot I met him and his family @SreyPov and @KidSisters. We've been close friends since. They saved me with some fantastic vegan food and treated me like family. The entire family has some amazing posts. Be sure to check them out! What a story they are living...

Community feeling

I've met lots of other people here and had some really interesting chats with them. My path in life isn't a standard one so this community allows me to find a common understanding with others living and think in similar ways. I feel like I'm learning more and more about myself through reading the other posts in all of the fantastic communities. Some of the ones that I've been exploring of late are:

Travelfeed Community https://peakd.com/c/hive-184437/about
A very interesting group full of travel stories from around the globe. This gives the real story of places without biased advertising or glorified reviews. I really love seeing the pictures and reading about the travels of other people. Quite inspiring and motivating.

Natural Medicine Community - https://peakd.com/c/hive-120078/about. This is THE place for anything natural and health related. I know a bit about natural health but am truly a minnow compared to the knowledge shared here. Wonderful stuff! I'll let them describe the community: "Celebrating & Rewarding Natural Health. Rewarding with HIVE and LOTUS. WWW.NATURALMEDICINE.IO.
The first and original collective on HIVE focused on all things natural health. It rewards both in HIVE and also with LOTUS, a social coin for enthusiasts of natural health - from herbalism and essential oils, to food as medicine, meditation and spirituality, as well as the relationship of human beings to the natural world through wild-crafting, permaculture and other 'healthy' earth centred practices."

'Urban Exploration' https://peakd.com/c/hive-104387/about is a @curie curated community supporting Urbex Photography and Stories content from around the World. I've always had a thing for abandoned houses, urban decay, and street art. This community tickles my fancy in every way! I highly recommend perusing the posts. Some really great stories and photography!

Market Friday https://peakd.com/c/hive-196308/about created by @dswigle. It turns out that she oddly enough knows my childhood neighborhood quite well. "Sharing different markets and cultures across the globe as we go places, do things, and buy merchandise." I love markets. Especially in Asia. I learned in India, sit, drink a tea in the market and you will see the world walking by. Its much easier than chasing the world around. I really enjoy reading the posts and even more the photos from markets around the world.

ASEAN Hive Community https://peakd.com/c/hive-141359/about is the place for Southeast Asian content on Hive. Give a big shout out to @justinparke for creating this community for the previously underserved ASEAN members. This is an up and coming community with a huge potential especially once Indonesia becomes more involved. ASEAN Hive member countries include Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor Leste and Vietnam. I really enjoy reading the posts here and especially hearing the music.

CycleFeed https://peakd.com/c/hive-188888/created
Share your blogs about bicycle touring . This community is quite small. I'm the only one posting and hopefully other members will join and become involved. I think it has a great potential and I really love the posts haha!

GEMS https://peakd.com/c/hive-148441/about
"To highlight true Gems of Hive community with User Retention as primary objective. This is a collective curation community formed by @appreciator, @rocky1 and @upmewhale. You can post your genuine and creative content in this community to get more support." This is one of the larger communities with quite a wide range of topics available. You can find posts about almost anything so its quite interesting. I really appreciate the type of freedom created by communities like this for writers. No restrictions!

There are other communities I'll check out it in the future for sure! Thanks for reading my post and big shouts out to everyone that's helped me get to this point and hope to continue the ride with you together. Let's make sure this isn't the SS Minnow ;)

Thanks for reading and watching! Hope you'll continue to check out my future posts. Best wishes and thanks to everyone that's been a part of this journey so far.

Feel free to upvote and reblog!

Thanks for the encouragement! You're right. The beginning is great and then steadily downhill until (so I hear) it gets better haha. That's payout wise of course. The other aspects of it are just great :)

Congrats on reaching minnowhood @chrisinphuket.

We all miss you very much and hope to see you in some country some day, as that's about as much as we can hope for under this new world and its new immigration policies.

Your upvote is now worth around $0.01, don't forget to put it to use no matter how small the power. Be in touch.

Bless up!
