Sometimes I think about it, just walking away, another thing in my life I did and don't want to do any more.
I'm talking about posting on Hive which I've been doing for just over two years; it's something I didn't think I'd be doing for much longer than two months! I don't like social media and never use it and my understanding of Hive was that it was yet another social media and that I'd not be at all interested. Surprisingly, I have been interested and even though I don't have a huge following and loads of interaction like others I'm still interested.
That has something to do with the quality of people, the way they engage, and I also like being able to drop in and say some things on a post now and then which makes a nice distraction from my every day reality; I've enjoyed that. So why then would I consider walking away?

Time is something I don't have enough of and things to do is something I have too much of.
It's no different to others I suppose but with the business I run, a terminally ill mother on fortnightly chemotherapy and other medical appointments and complications, a partner who is incredibly busy with his own work who travels away a lot plus has a medical condition that takes constant attention and all the other things life demands of me I find I run out of time quickly.
There's non-negotiable things in my life, those I mention above, relaxation and exercise time, eating and sleeping, bubble baths, and others, and with Hive added in as well...something has to give which often leads me to thoughts of simply stopping I suppose and yet I'm reluctant to let something I have enjoyed pass by.
I understand that to do well on Hive it takes constant effort.
I don't just mean to earn well, that's not my primary focus, I mean to engage well, build relationships, put good posts together and such things as that; it all takes time which, as I say above, is something I'm short of. This is why I can't, and don't, post each day and is why I simply can't engage with others as often or as much as I would like. I do my best though and walking away, while seemingly easy to do, isn't something I believe will enhance life considering the enjoyment I get from posting now and then, but I think about it and sometimes wonder if others are the same. Not everyone is as busy as I am so they may have the time but many are and I wonder how they fit it in.
