Never did I imagine that I will come this far. The first month was really a struggle specially those times that I don’t yet have many friends here. I am also discouraged to see that I only have 10 followers compared to the others. I almost give-up thinking that no one will like my writings. Believe it or not, I cried because of Steemit, I can’t accept the fact that I am such a failure. Although my mind is filled with too much disappointments, my heart is full of desire to continue. I pick myself up and make blogs as many as I can every week. I gained not only followers but I also gained a family. I would like to take this moment to thank everyone who supported me all the way.
Hive account@surpassinggoogle – Thank you so much Sir Terry for being with us specially for the newbie. You never let us feel that we are out of place and you always believe that we have potentials. Instead of being a perfectionist, you open your eyes to mistakes and never count on our grammatical errors. You never leave anyone behind and making sure that we are still on the track, running and fighting.
Hive account@bayanihan – Thank you so much for helping the Filipino community. You made us realize to love our own. Well, there’s nothing wrong to appreciate the beauty of other cultures, but you always remind us to be proud of who we are. Though we are not a rich country, we are a nation of smiles and hospitable traits. There’s indeed a “bayanihan” (unity) that flows in our blood.
Hive account@bobbylee – Thank you so much Sir for the generosity that you are giving to everyone. I noticed that you are not posting very often but I really admire how active you are in supporting other people every day. You also remind me of my father because his nickname is “bobby”, the same spelling as yours. I always hope for you to have a healthy life so that many more can witness your kindness.
Hive account@cloh76 – Thank you so much Sir when you give your time to tell me about my wrong spelling. I really appreciate it when someone is nice enough to tell me the things that I need to change. I am also very happy that you are also patient in giving profound answers to my inquiries. I may not know you personally but I guess you are such an approachable comrade to everybody.
Hive account@happyphoenix – Thank you so much Sir for the pieces of advice that you are giving to me. Since I started until now, you are still here and showing your full support to me. Your perseverance in working hard to enhance your artistic skills is making me want to strive harder. Just like you, I also want to improve myself and create more sensible writings that are never boring to read.
A simple message to my family:
The Gratefulvibes
Hive account@paradise-found – If I list down all the help that you did for me, I think a day will not be enough to finish them all. I don’t want to sound like bragging but this man has a good heart for everyone. Pardon me Papa Bear for I can’t help myself to say this, he is the man behind the boost in our posts. Yes, he never hesitates to boost someone’s work. He doesn’t care about the money that he will lose, it is his hobby to share the blessings that he has.
Hive account@sunnylife – We don’t have a Papa Bear if it’s not because of you. I learned that you are the first one who called him that name and now it’s pandemic! You may not know it but you inspired me. I envy your confidence because I’m still working on about it. When I saw your Zumba dance, I wish to be like you. You are enjoying until the end of the music and just spreading good vibes to the viewers.

Hive account@geke, 
Hive account@carmalain7, and other family members – I am very honored to be part of your wonderful island. My love for writing short stories and poems became more real when you’ve accepted me in your family. I am also very thankful that all of you are there to help me to learn English rules which I am confused most of the times. You are busy and yet you are still there to help the others specially those who are having a hard time in using a foreign language. I hope for more success of the pub.

Hive account@eldean, and other family members – Thank you for the fun conversations that everyone is willing to share. The waves of laughter and crazy chats can really fade the sadness and boredom. I also like the love-radio channel where everyone can relax for some beats anytime they want. The topics which are not merely for Steemit but also talk about life matters.

Hive account@looserwin and other family members – I always love how everyone is giving cookies to each other. Though it is virtual, I am still touched by this simple gesture. Respecting our differences is important. Sometimes, there are problems that rise but I am very glad whenever we remain the peace and understanding inside our Ohana.

It is a pleasure to be one of your loving families and I do hope that we will have more harmonious memories.

I may not be able to mention everyone but I want you to know that everybody will have a special place in my heart. I am nothing without all of you. To those who are having hard days in Steemit, please never give up. You are amazing, courageous, and talented. Always believe in yourself and never lose hope. In times of doubt, talk to God and He will surely give us the peace of mind and comfort that we need. God bless and have a great journey!
