It has been a rollercoaster these past few days. I have been busy activating my Hive future. Alot of planning, reading, researching and total staking.
As of yesterday, i got really aggressive because there is something i want to achieve on hive and productivity is the only way forward.
First, i completed my registeration and got my National ID. Yes, I know. What took me so long? But i had no motivation then. Now, i want to get registered on Binance and also open my bank account.
What? You do not own an account?
Lol. Sadly i do not. I kept pushing and pushing it till i eventually started working and lost time for me. 9am to 9pm job. Yes. It sucks, but it was sustaining me and keeping me grounded. Believe me when i say that i can fall in a very dark place in my head when idle. Besides, through the measely salary, i still managed to invest and save upto N80,000 ($206).
So how come you have the time now?
Some might have already guessed the answer. I quit my job. Why? It was taking a major toll on me. I have lost a lot of weight, on the steady road towards ulcer and lost a lot of communication and time for myself. I worked seven days until she recently removed sundays. Now, you might be thinking the pay was okay, it wasn't. It was only N15,000 ($36) and i was only able to save that much because of huge sacrifices i made and all.
As time went on though, i found myself repeating patterns and somehow fell into a cycle. My ex-boss wasn't a bad person, just that i needed time for me and she wasn't giving enough. I had broken down mentally several times but i'd still show up smiling and no one would ever know what it was i went through. I am tough afterall.
When I finally found hive, it was like the pattern was broken and i could see the light. I began putting my time into it but i never neglected my job. When she indirectly gave me an ultimatum between her business and mine, i had to choose mine. Because just like my mentor said, she only cares about her business and nothing else. She doesn't know or care about what i am going through. So, i decided to focus on me, hence, quitting my job, getting my NIN, and fixing my laptop. I look forward to the HiveFest. Purchase your tickets NOW. Next, I would be opening a bank account and a binance account.
My mentor introduced me to hive engine on thursday and like always, he gave me a few tips and told me to explore. I found out i had tokens which i staked some. I staked all the POB and was very glad when 
My next goals are to explore more communities. Which reminds me, I downloaded the Actifit app today and still taking time to understand it. I want to be heavily invested in atleast five different communities this remaining days. Top priorities are, Leofinance, POB, Ladies of Hive, Hive Naija and Actifit.
I'll start with this and also further my gaming knowledge. I am also preparing for exams and have had to shuffle wisely between hive and studies.
This is just the beginning to a really bright future.
