Hey Hivers.. please pardon me; i don't know what hive users go by.

MY STORY

My name is Raphael OBONIN (but you could already tell that from my display name), a young dynamic petroleum engineer with a flair for music, art, adventure ('cause I like to travel and try new food), and poetry.

I am 27 years old, with one young vibrant kid (he turns the 'Big 1' in December btw 😀). Having and raising a kid really gave me purpose and drive and I'll be forever grateful for it. To be honest, it wasn't all rosy at first and it took a lot of learning, unlearning and relearning but one year on; I am still here and bossing through it.

WHY HIVE?

I've never been one to fit in on traditional social spaces and I like the idea that hive gives you niches streamlined to your interests. I'm looking to find my niche and exploit every advantage I see on here. I love making friends and meeting new people (people that would let me complain about how I think the MCU has been underperforming for so many years but I stay Loyal to the franchise regardless).

WHAT I DO FOR FUN

My favorite pastime is Youtube.. mostly because I've been putting off uploading content on there of me reacting to movies and new music from around the world. Maybe that'll be my jam on hive.. hmm let's see. [Side note: I found the Hive account@hiveopenmic community on here too].

I love to run and ball. I'm mostly shit.. but I hate to dwell on the negatives (Hive account@exhaust community watch out for me).

EXPECTATIONS

I've always been fascinated by the Crypto, DEFI and NFTs space.. but I've never really invested. With hive I'm looking to join communities that would give me the needed titbits and 'Crypto for dummies' my way to building a Crypto portfolio.

Shoutout to Hive account@ebingo for putting me on to hive. I hope to make a lot more meaningful connections and contributions to the communities I'll be joining.

LET'S GO!!!
