My sister-in-law, 
I’ve started writing in other communities as well. However, as a self-proclaimed amateur writer, I hesitate to join Hive Blockchain.
But what makes me join Hive?
Joining Hive is a mix of excitement, nervousness, and curiosity. It's like stepping into a new world where my thoughts and words have the potential to be seen, appreciated, and even challenged. There's a thrill in knowing I'm taking a step toward growth—honing my skills, discovering new writing styles, and perhaps even finding my unique voice.
At first, there might be some hesitation—Will my writing be good enough? Will people resonate with my words?
But then comes the realization that every great writer starts somewhere. The platform isn't just a space to share but to learn, experiment, and connect with fellow writers on their journeys.
Every piece I write reflects my evolving self, and I gain new perspectives with every feedback or engagement. It's a journey of self-expression, learning, and becoming more confident in your craft.
Joining Hive is a mix of responsibility, hope, and a bit of pressure. It's not just about writing for passion anymore—it's about making every word count because it serves a bigger purpose. There's a sense of urgency, knowing that my skills can be a means to help provide for myself and my loved ones.
It might sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when waiting for opportunities or engagement to turn into income. But there's also a deep sense of motivation—this isn't just about personal growth; it's about creating a better future. Every article, every poem, every piece of content becomes more than just words; it becomes a step toward fulfilling my responsibilities.
Even with the challenges, something is empowering about knowing that your talent can support me and the people who depend on me. And when the first earnings come in, no matter how small, there's a sense of pride—proof that my hard work and dedication are paying off.
What is the best about Hive?
Hive isn't just a writing platform for me—it's a lifeline, a place where my words turn into opportunities, where my struggles find relief, and where my efforts are truly valued. It's not just about writing; it's about survival, growth, and finding a way forward despite life's challenges.
The best feeling about Hive must be that sense of security—knowing that as long as I keep writing, engaging, and improving, I have a chance to bridge the gaps in my life. It's the feeling of empowerment, knowing that my skills can directly contribute to my well-being and those who depend on me.
Beyond the financial side, there's also emotional fulfillment. Hive gives me a space to express myself, to connect with a community, and to find purpose in my words. It's more than just income—it's the reassurance that, even in my shortcomings, I can grow and make things work in my way.
It's heartfelt gratitude that words can hardly capture. It's the kind of appreciation that comes from knowing that someone's simple act of introducing me to Hive changed my life in ways they may not even fully realize.
So, to @charmingcherry,
Introducing me to the Hive Blockchain is not just about discovering a writing platform; it's about finding a place where my skills can flourish, earn, and regain control over my circumstances. You didn't just give me a new opportunity—you gave me hope, a means to rise above my struggles, and a path to something better.
Every time I write, earn, and see Hive's impact on my life, there's a quiet moment where I wouldn't be here without you.
Hive isn't just a blockchain to me—it's a home, a community, and a source of hope. Knowing that my words are valued, that people support and appreciate my writing, and that my efforts make a difference in my life is a powerful experience.
Gratitude fills my heart whenever I receive an upvote, a comment, or even the knowledge that someone took the time to read my words. The support from the Hive community isn't just financial—it's emotional, motivational, and deeply encouraging.
I've found a space where my voice matters, where I am not just another writer but someone whose thoughts, experiences, and creativity are recognized. That's a rare and beautiful thing. And being able to give back by continuing to share, engage, and grow makes it even more special.
