Wow - it's been 2 years since the We Are Alive Tribe formed. Congratulations to all! And a big thanks to and the team who put so much into driving this tribe forwards.
The tribe is a great idea to celebrate something quite simple together. We are #alive - celebrate it and make the most of it while it lasts.
Memory of the past year
So asked us about our favourite memory of the past year in the tribe.
For me, the memory is quite personal. I had serious health issues at the end of November when my body decided to go into self-destruct mode. I quickly started losing my eyesight, my balance, my ability to control my muscles and my feeling in my hands. It was damn scary. I was admitted to hospital and thought I was going to die. The doctors were worried that I would lose the ability to control my lungs.
However, thank god, my situation stabilised and then I started a long road to recovery.
When you have moments like that it makes you re-evaluate what is important in life. My family were brilliant and looked after me but I appreciated every moment I had with them.
It did make me feel #alive because tbh, I was just grateful to be #alive
For me, this tribe was a great pillar of support. I had so many encouraging messages from various people in this tribe that supported me in my road to recovery. Empathised with the situation that I was going through.
That in itself is nice that #hive has brought together such great people as in this tribe.
The forward look
I am now, thank god, pretty much recovered. My eyesight took the longest to return but I am pretty much back to normal now. So, it gives me a renewed energy to every day celebrate being #alive and I look forward to sharing more with this community in the years to come.
Thank you all!
