The other day, the We Are Alive Tribe community turned 2 years old. We need to celebrate! Especially since I touched this community for the first time about a year ago.
And every touch was truly extraordinary.
We measure our experience by the memories of the senses. I will try to run down that path again to live it. Again. That's the only way I'll be able to remember it the way it was...
Let's go!
Hope
My journey to Hive truly began only when I was thrown ashore like a fish. Before that, I had been posting in my native language in the Russian-speaking community for six months. In between those posts were Actifit reports and occasional posts in English. But the community closed last February. That's when I was thrown ashore.
That's when I thought I'd lost hope. No, in fact, it was despair. As far as I was concerned, the same thing happened to a lot of people. Some of them left the chain.
And I realized that I was going to have to work on myself.
So I started looking for a community in which I would feel comfortable. So, of course, I got involved everywhere I could. I posted both in my usual style (thoughts, reflections, sometimes games) and tried something new. It was all with mixed success.
There was a tremendous desire in all of this.
But there was no life.
I really needed to become alive...
I was passionate about second layer tokens that tip the scales. That's how I was introduced to ALIVE token. Yes, it really works. Well, or it worked for me.
My study of the white papers and ALIVE posts took a huge amount of time. And honestly, I didn't really understand anything 😂 Seriously. I just started trying to post and communicate as I was able and as I knew how... That was the first touch.
And I had hope!
It seemed that I was more interested in me than anywhere else. Help, support, training... Wow, I guess all was not lost. (I thought)
So they didn't let me put my hands down and leave...
Faith
I moved on.
At the time, my Actifit reports were a paragraph or two at best. But I learned that I could combine that with the #alive tag and #aliveandthriving. That's how my posts started to grow in volume and openness. Second touch.
All it takes is being alive.
What does it mean to be alive?
Anything. Good things happen to us every day, bad things happen to us. Strange thoughts or insights. Rain, snow, sunshine or sunset on the shore of a body of water. It is enough to show these moments. Perhaps it is your post that will give hope to another Hivian.
Or faith. As it did to me.
The feeling that I do not know how, cannot and that no one needs it, has changed to I can, I will learn, and at least one person needs it.
At least, I need it.
Believing in yourself can do wonders. And it does!
Love
By this time I was already alive. Really alive, not pretending to be. The members of We Are Alive stopped by, and little by little I started to visit them. Participating in daily tasks and communicating, communicating, communicating...
As much as I could and knew how.
This is the third touch. And it's love!
So, it was three touches that got me to where I am today. The We Are Alive Tribe people don't expect you to be supernatural. They're just there. They're always there for you. They will help and explain. They'll be supportive, and they'll make you laugh if you need it.
I won't mention everyone personally here. I'm grateful to each and every one of you. For do not forget, you led me to love out of despair...
In just three touches...
I am also a member of the following communities!⬇️
