Siempre es un buen momento para volver a empezar
Esa frase resume los últimos tres años de mi vida 😎🕺
It’s always a good time to start over...
That phrase sums up the last three years of my life 😎🕺
My name is Moisés Humberto Peña, I’m 33 years old🧔, and I’m from Venezuela, born in the state of La Guaira (formerly Vargas) in 1992. I didn’t have a perfect childhood, but it was certainly unique😉. I was my parents’ firstborn and the first grandchild on my mother’s side of the family, so I got a lot of attention🤱. I used to be extraordinarily restless🏃, hyperactive🤸, and inquisitive😜.
As for my parents, I have to say they’ve been exactly what I needed. Like any other human being, they’ve both made mistakes, but all their sacrifices to raise me and give me this life were driven by good intentions, and I’m grateful for that🙏🤝.
Unfortunately, my three younger siblings chose lifestyles and ways of living that have nothing to do with the principles, values, manners, and habits my parents worked so hard to teach us; but that’s life🤷. There are no guarantees🧘
Since I was six, I’ve been diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder 😖, which is why my life is a constant mix of anxiety, restlessness, and impatience 🤯💆. Maybe partly because of that, as a teenager I’d lose myself in the pages of any book and loved reading everything📚. Along the way, I discovered that I was also passionate about creating a world with ideas and words on paper ✍🏻, which at the same time drained so much of that accumulated pathological energy💥.
I became independent at 21 😌💪 and moved to the capital, Caracas🧳🚡🚝🏢 , where I lived in the surrounding areas for a few years until an economic and political crisis erupted in 2014, plunging the country into a downward spiral🔄 of hyperinflation💸, migration, bankruptcy🚨📉, and poverty🔗 like never before. As time went on, around 2018, I discovered a place in La Guaira that captivated me with its energy and pleasant lifestyle despite the chaos: Carayaca🌄🍌🥑.
Es la parroquia más grande del estado y se caracteriza por un precioso clima templado, fresco⛅ y lluvioso☔ en buena parte del año; así como por su economía agrícola🌾. Allí me enamore de la agricultura🌳.
Sobrevino la pandemia en el año 2019😷 y aunque todo lo demás se caía a pedazos, Carayaca resultó ser un refugio.
Tras casi siete años viviendo de la tierra y en un lugar acogedor que me dejó experiencias muy agradables (aunque también otras no tan agradables, naturalmente) conocí un estilo de vida que satisfactoriamente respondió todas las preguntas existenciales que tanto me habían inquietado a lo largo de mi vida. Aprendí a sanar por dentro, perdonar🙇, hacer la paz🤝 y mantenerla😮💨.
It is the largest parish in the state and is known for its lovely temperate climate, which is cool⛅ and rainy☔ for much of the year, as well as for its agricultural economy🌾. That’s where I fell in love with farming🌳.
The pandemic struck in 2019😷, and even as everything else was falling apart, Carayaca turned out to be a refuge.
After nearly seven years living off the land in a welcoming place that gave me many pleasant experiences (though naturally some not-so-pleasant ones as well), I discovered a way of life that satisfactorily answered all the existential questions that had troubled me so much throughout my life. I learned to heal from within, to forgive🙇, to make peace🤝, and to maintain it😮💨.
Out of necessity, I moved back in with my parents in 2023. Barely a year later, on September 4, 2024, I looked into the eyes of the most rewarding experience of my entire life to date😍. Her name is Annie (Hive username:
—coincidence? 🤔), and without realizing it, she became the center of my attention, though after a clumsy attempt to get to know her better, sadly my awkwardness scared her away😳. After a year, we tried to understand each other, and it worked🥰. Today I have the great pleasure of saying that we are best friends; so much so that we are engaged to be married next year 🎉🤵👰🎆 God willing. Words cannot begin to describe and convey what she has meant (and means) to me👉👈.
Aparte de leer y escribir cuando me lo propongo y me alcanza el tiempo, me gusta la playa🌊, un atardecer en La Guaira🌅, el sonido agradable de la lluvia en un cielo encapotado, ver películas de ciencia ficción🎬, cocinar, tomar café ☕, pasar tiempo de calidad con quienes amo📸... y también aprender casi cualquier cosa que sirva para ser útil🎓. De hecho, sin planificarlo de pronto me encontré aprendiendo a reparar 🔨🔧🪛máquinas de coser domésticas y también aprendiendo a coser🫣. Descubrí de primera mano como crece el sentido del logro con algo tan sencillo como hacer una truza o una camisa. Mi novia, , es costurera y me propuse apoyarla en lo que le gusta👏👍. La verdad, también me produce un inmenso sentido del logro saber que soy parte de su historia y su progreso. A propósito, recomiendo visitar su blog y darse una pasadita por su esfuerzo creativo y su dedicación para compartir su talento. Quizás encuentren alguna idea 💡o alguna recomendación de sus publicaciones que sea justo lo que estén buscando👌. Quien sabe.
And here we are in 2026⏳. As for Hive, I first learned about the blockchain thanks to the hype surrounding its launch📢 and the information I saw circulating on social media 📱. I’ve had an account since May 2025, but due to an accident, I lost all means of recovering it. My big mistake was getting complacent and believing I didn’t need to print out my keys🧾 or back them up physically📝. I recently got a new phone and decided to start using the platform again with a new account. And here I am… again.
Aside from reading and writing when I set my mind to it and have the time, I love the beach🌊, a sunset in La Guaira🌅, the soothing sound of rain on an overcast sky, watching sci-fi movies🎬, cooking, drinking coffee ☕, spending quality time with those I love📸... and also learning just about anything that’s useful🎓. In fact, without planning it, I suddenly found myself learning to repair 🔨🔧🪛home sewing machines and also learning to sew🫣. I discovered firsthand how a sense of accomplishment grows from something as simple as making a pair of pants or a shirt. My girlfriend,, is a seamstress, and I decided to support her in what she loves👏👍. Honestly, it also gives me an immense sense of accomplishment to know that I’m part of her story and her progress. By the way, I recommend visiting her blog and checking out her creative efforts and dedication to sharing her talent. You might find some inspiration 💡or a recommendation from their posts that might be exactly what you're looking for👌. Who knows.
Espero y confío poder dedicar esfuerzo y tiempo a progresar mis habilidades en Hive en lo que tiene que ver con el manejo de la blockchain como tal🏆, mejorar mis conocimientos en el mundo de la web3🌐 y poder compartir experiencias y contenido cada vez de mejor calidad👍. No me da miedo aprender y no me molesta que me enseñen, ni que me corrijan; siempre que los motivos y el propósito sean los correctos.
Creo que mientras haya oportunidad, podemos crecer, mejorar, corregir y sobre todo, hacerle la vida más fácil a otros.
Hay mucho que hacer y compartir. Pienso escribir experiencias vividas y lecciones aprendidas, proyectos personales, logros, quizás algo sobre mi negocio, como aprendo a superar obstáculos, algún viaje, cierto aspecto positivo de mi rutina, etc. Por ahora quiero finalizar con la misma frase temática con la que comencé:
Siempre es un buen momento para volver a empezar 🤠
I hope and trust that I’ll be able to devote time and effort to improving my Hive skills—specifically in managing the blockchain itself🏆—expanding my knowledge of the Web3 world🌐, and sharing experiences and content of ever-increasing quality👍. I’m not afraid to learn, and I don’t mind being taught or corrected—as long as the motives and purpose are right.
I believe that as long as there’s an opportunity, we can grow, improve, correct our mistakes, and above all, make life easier for others.
I have a lot to tell you: for example, how I survived with my dad—and my pregnant mom—the Vargas tragedy in 1999, when we lost our home and everything we had😥; how I managed to cope with my diagnosis😬; or like that time when, with my three little siblings under the age of two and my dad looking for work, we spent several days eating nothing but salted avocado 🥑 that we got from a tree 🌳 behind an abandoned house. Also, how I once spent a night in jail with my dad for the astonishing crime of clearing land that had been abandoned and vacant for years—which turned out to belong to an army colonel 🪖🥾 (who wasn’t even in the country...😒)—but I’ll talk about all that more calmly in other posts🍵.
There’s a lot to do and share. I plan to write about my experiences and the lessons I’ve learned, personal projects, achievements, maybe something about my business, how I’m learning to overcome obstacles, a trip here or there, some positive aspect of my daily routine, and so on. For now, I’d like to wrap up with the same theme I started with:
It’s always a good time to start over 🤠
