Celebrating six years on Hive - my journey and future dreams

What? Six years on Hive already? It doesn't feel that long. I never imagined that Hive would become my way of life over these past few years. It took me a long time to realize that this is what I want to do full-time. Climbing the ladder to achieve this dream is a bit hard, but it’s worth it.

For a long time, I searched for what makes me happy, for what I want to do with my heart. I think I searched too long, even though the answer was right in front of me. Maybe I didn’t appreciate what Hive meant to me at first. Now, every morning, the first thing on my mind is what I am going to share with you today. There’s no better feeling than making coffee, sitting at the computer, and writing with passion. When the words flow, and I don’t even look at my phone, I know I'm in the zone. Sometimes, I even chase my husband out of the room just to have peace to finish my article. And pressing the POST button? It’s pure joy.

Over the past six years, I've written countless articles, each one a piece of my journey and growth. Writing has become my passion, my escape, and my connection to the world. When someone responds to my article with positive feedback, it warms my heart. Sure, it’s not always easy when you think you’ve written something great and it doesn’t get noticed. But I’m still proud that I got the idea and wrote something from my heart.

Hive has taught me a lot and introduced me to many like-minded people. On other social networks, people mostly post pictures, which doesn’t mean much to me. How can I connect with someone if I don’t know what they’re thinking? Hive is different. It gives us the chance to talk and share things that interest us. I’m so happy to find people here who share my passions.

Hive is a way of life for me now, and I’m really happy to be part of this community. How did I get here? I was never very interested in blockchain and cryptocurrencies, that’s my husband’s passion. But when he introduced me to Hive, I felt like this was something where I could achieve something.

To be part of a community that values writing and meaningful connections is a blessing. I am proud to be a part of Hive and to have grown so much in these six years. I want to make this my full-time passion, dedicating myself to creating, sharing, and connecting with all of you.

As I look back on these six years, I see a journey filled with growth, learning, and connection. Hive has become more than just a platform for me, it’s a place where I found my voice and my passion. Each article I write is a piece of my soul, shared with a community that truly understands and values creativity and expression.

I’m excited for the future and the possibilities that lie ahead. My goal is to continue writing and to eventually become a curator, helping to uplift and support other creators within this wonderful community. I dream of starting my own community centered around history and health, sharing my passions and learning from others.

To anyone reading this, thank you for being part of my journey. Your support, feedback, and engagement mean the world to me. Together, we make Hive a vibrant, inspiring place. Here’s to many more years of creating, sharing, and growing together.

With all my heart, thank you, Hive, for being my home, my inspiration, and my community. Here’s to the next chapter of our journey.
