My comeback and my hiatus
2019 - 2020
I remembered the time (2019) when
I was still 24 years old when I bravely accepted a new chapter unraveling before me - motherhood. I don't know how other mothers did it but I was definitely clueless even with a bunch of articles, videos, and advices I received from a number of people. I was still not confident enough. I decided then to take a hiatus from all social media including hive. I focused on becoming the mother that my daughter deserves. I also took that silent time (away from all the noises of Facebook) to mend my broken heart and marriage. And my last post on hive before taking the time off was in the first quarter of 2020. It was the time when I almost can't bear everything - the pressure of becoming a mother, becoming a wife, and almost losing myself in the process. Last year is one of the most challenging year for me.
New Journey, New Purpose
2021
The aphorism about what that doesn't kill you makes you stronger holds true. Because 2021 came knocking at my door bringing so much blessing and surprises. And one of that is me coming back to hive and bringing in amazing people - hi their 
I want to take this chance to introduce to all of you the people I onboarded. I was aiming to bring in people with the passion to write and with a mission in their hearts.
This is my colleague and best friend since college,
My partner in Mandani Bay project way back 2017-2018 is
An amazing single-mom,
Goldilocks,
Looking back at how lonely I was last year, I feel comforted. Because all that's happening in my life now (except of course with the pandemic), are answers to my prayers. Now, a new purpose had emerged from this new journey I am taking. A lot of people had helped me become this confident in blogging. And now it's my turn!
Paying forward
(A hello to the future!)
My whole experience in hive blockchain brought me to a realization to never fear beginnings and authenticities! Other social media platforms can be really superficial making people shallow. I've spent so much time in toxic platforms that I can really feel how different it is to be on hive. And my only way to repay the amazing curators, co-bloggers, and hive itself for the rewards I have received, is through bringing in people who honor originality! I will also do my best to keep on publishing quality contents and to engage more on other communities as well. I will guide my invitees thoroughly and will make sure they won't fall off the track.
Hive plays an important aspect in my life as it creates balance to my stressful work. I love how blogging clears my mind from so much things. I write off my emotions and plans and I share stuff hoping to reach the right audience. Being genuine on what I do here is the most important thing for me. In this way, I can pass on the values to the people I invited. Then they will eventually do the same to the people they will bring in. My goal is to grow so the people who are looking up to me as their example can grow as well. And I dearly hope, they reach their highest potentials. Lastly, I want them to know that if it's impossible to pay someone back, they can always pay them forward.
Nikka Mededa, the author
I am an engineer, a mother, an aspiring photographer, and also a blogger. A workaholic mom who found its comfort through brewing coffee and making home-cooked meals. I write and read a lot but I think I collect books even more. And there’s nothing more fulfilling than finally ticking off the books my reading list. Hopefully, one day!
I really love to fulfill my childhood dream of becoming an author and so here I am, in my little corner in the blockchain. I hope you had a good read and check out more here --->
