And I'm still here writing my life story, one post at a time ❤️
Hey Hive family,
Our beautiful decentralized home is about to turn 6 years young on 20th March (since the big fork on March 20, 2020) and I couldn't let this moment pass without sharing my story with all of you.
My Hive (well, Steem back then) journey actually began on July 3, 2017. I was just another curious soul who grabbed some STEEM when it was hovering near $1 with the thought, “At best I can lose it all” - that typical crypto investment sentiment. In fact, I exchanged a little bitcoin from https://freebitco.in/ ( I still love to roll even knowing that they have shut down) for steem to start with and started posting some random contents to experiment this new journey. And I must tell you that it was very exciting to get even few cents upvotes on my posts at that time and over time, that made me to come up with a strategy to write something on this chain with passion. Fast-forward through the 2020 fork, and here I am – still going strong on Hive, writing my life story, one post at a time. Through the fork drama and everything since then, Hive has become my only social home. No Insta, no FakeBook, no drama — just real people, real stories - though I post my hive stories there so that people can come over here - a little hive marketing.
As you have seen over these years, “My blog is my life” — that's not a tagline, it's literal - I have chosen to write my life story on this chain, creating some immutably recorded memoirs with original, passionate, Hive-exclusive content. This blockchain is a perfect place to write our golden memoirs that will be valuable more than anything else in few years, as we grow older. This chain has given me:
🌱 A place to document garden magic — capturing some of my best moments of real hard work (to remind me that being dutiful is the best way to live the life), stunning photo shoots and Hive Garden journals.
👨👩👧👦 Family highs & lows — Friendships, Reunions, Hospital recoveries, tough days, and those typical “life always has a twist” moments.
🍲 Food adventures — Posting our experiments of food to review of some great food places and writing and making them part of my google review - another hive marketing effort.
🚶♂️ Health wins and Minimalist mindset — Documenting my health journey to minimalism mindset shifts (“you're never as trapped as your mind tells you”).
🗺️Travel adventures - I love to travel and there cannot be a better place to create our travel memoirs with so many active and highly engaging communities on this chain.
🎉 Festivals & joy — And last not but the least - our Festivals are what keeps us alive - the rituals, the colors, the people, the places, the celebrations - I mean life is all about that, isn't it ?
Through it all, communities like Hive Garden, Silver Bloggers, Worldmappin, The MINIMALIST, The Ink Well, Foodies Bee Hive and more have kept me motivated, engaged, and growing. Hive hasn’t just given me a platform… it has given us true friends, daily motivation, priceless memories, and a sense of belonging no centralized app could ever match. Through every high and low, you all have kept me writing, walking, connecting, and exploring! Hive hasn't just survived 6 years — it has thrived because of people like YOU. Thank you for every upvote, comment, and your virtual shoulder - You all are part of my memories, my motivation, and my healing.
Happy 6th Birthday, Hive! Here's to many more years of stories, steps, gardens, feasts, Joys and unbreakable bonds. Let's keep building this amazing decentralized family together! 🚀💛
