There are many platforms on the internet, but Hive is not just a platform, it is a movement, a community, and an opportunity to grow. For me, Hive has become more than a place to share thoughts; it has become a place where my dreams are finding their rhythm, especially my passion for music.
I have always loved music. The sound of strings, the power of melody, the messages in lyrics, they speak life to me. However, like many others with dreams, I started small. I would borrow instruments, practice quietly, and perform only when invited. I knew I loved it, but I didn’t fully take it seriously, until I joined Hive.
Posting on Hive helped me document my journey. At first, it was simple things: sharing photos after choir practice, writing reflections after music rehearsals, or posting about worship moments. But as I continued, something inside me began to shift. I started meeting others who were passionate about their art, photographers, writers, dancers, beat makers, and they all encouraged me in one way or another. Hive connected me with people who believe that your gift can make room for you.
It was through Hive that I realized I shouldn't treat my talent as a hobby, but as a calling. The community support, the feedback, the engagement, it all motivated me to push forward. I no longer saw music as something for weekends alone. I began to schedule practice time, learn new techniques, and even save for my own equipment.
In the picture I shared, I’m holding my guitar bag, standing in front of the gate, dressed for a rehearsal. That moment captured more than just a pose, it captured purpose. I was on my way to join a music team for ministration. I felt confident, focused, and ready. That’s what Hive has done to me, it has added seriousness, consistency, and creativity to my musical walk.
Every experience I share on Hive has become a seed planted. With every comment and upvote, I feel the encouragement to go on. Now, I’m even considering composing my own songs and sharing them not just with my fellowship or friends, but with the world. I’ve realized that digital space can be a platform for ministry too.
Learning by experience is exactly what Hive has offered me. I’ve learned how to tell stories better. I’ve learned the power of community and consistency. Most of all, I’ve learned to value the gifts God placed in me.
To anyone out there who has a gift, whether it's singing, writing, drawing, or dancing, don’t bury it. Share it. Nurture it. Platforms like Hive exist to help you grow not just in skills, but in confidence and purpose.
So yes, Hive has made me more serious about my music career, and I thank God for the opportunity. The journey is still on, and I know this is just the beginning. Watch this space, because the songs are coming!
