A few thoughts crossed my mind even before I got to the end of the post where he said, "I don't mean being able to buy clothes, food, or a car, but rather situations where it was needed quickly and Hive came through."
I will start with the random thoughts that came to my mind first.
If hive never existed, I probably would have lost the zeal I have for writing. I mentioned before in one of my posts that writing was never my passion. It was something I started as a complete novice and developed myself in it and now I can confidently say that I have a passion for writing.
I may not be so good now but I am willing to acquire more knowledge on all I need to know and be better every day.
Speaking of situations where it was needed quickly.
My life took a different turn on that day and till now I am still grateful that I took that decision. It wasn't an easy one, but I am glad that I'm doing better now.
I was in a situation, I needed to leave an abusive marriage or should I call it an engagement, because we were only engaged and I already had a son for him who is 4 years old now. The fact that I was never responsible for my financial needs or had something I was doing, made me feel stuck in the relationship. In the sense that each time I thought about leaving, I was always worried about how I was going to take care of myself and my son because I had no money.
Sometimes, lack of financial freedom is what makes most people endure abuse and it isn't right. I won't say I'm a victim but a survivor. I needed to go far away as soon as possible but I had no means. I feared that I may be stuck for the rest of my life but hive helped me. I was able to sell the token I had acquired through writing and some friends who will forever be in my heart.
This brings me to this serenity prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr that says, "Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking as Jesus did.
You may not understand and I may not be able to express it adequately at the moment. In a few simples word, I was emotionally traumatized and hive is helping me out of it.
You may be wondering how exactly is that.
- With the money I got from hive, I was able to leave an abusive relationship.
- The hive blockchain has kept me motivated about writing and is making me a better writer each day.
- The hive blockchain made me confident in myself in the area of writing.
I mentioned in my previous post that I recently got a remote job. I work for a news website as a content creator. If I haven't been to this training ground, I probably won't be confident in myself about taking that job.
Yeah, hive has been like a training ground for me to better at writing. God has probably foreseen that a time would come when I would need a job that I can do at my own convenience because I have to do something useful with my life and still have enough time for my son. A few months ago, I was in a job that gave me 0 time for myself and my son and I wasn't happy about it. When I think about it, I try to make myself see that whatever happens to us in life happens for a reason.
Thinking back, I really don't want to imagine how it would have been if hive never existed but I trust God for everything so far and how he has never left me ever since I made up my mind to leave the abusive relationship for good.
