My gift for HIVE

Hello my loves, I think we are all happy for HIVE's first birthday, so I decided to give him several gifts.

First I will tell you a little bit about my experience this year, which has been wonderful.

Let's start....

Yessssss, who's happy that Hive has a birthday, well me, and guess what? Yes, I made a cake to celebrate, plus I painted myself a flannel, I'll tell you later how I made them.

We are all happy because this year has been wonderful, the best of all is that Hive arrives just when everything seemed so dark, that's the reason why for being a light for many, and I also made a song for him.

Three gifts to Hive for his birthday.

The first gift was to make me a shirt, one that I can wear when I go out and people ask me, what is Hive, and I answer them : it is my company, as well as everyone's, I own my blog, here we are all owners and you can too ... and I must have a great celebration, so I'm proud to wear the logo of the wonderful community to which I belong.

But let's go by steps, first I want to tell you my experience this year and why it is great to be celebrating this birthday.

My experience this year, TOTAL Renewal

This year has been full of surprises and above all of renewal, that is the word that defines my year in Hive, with already three years publishing in the blockchain, I was doing a job that I liked, but it had become somewhat monotonous, however when I arrived to Hive many things changed:

It changed my way of publishing.

Just as you read it, although in essence I am still the same, my way of publishing changed, in what way? Well, the energy of Hive makes you reinvent yourself, besides it makes you discover many facets that you didn't think you had, what makes this possible is the ability we have as a community to help each other to bring out our best gifts, within this beautiful hive we are always calling each other to create, so one of the things that made my whole way of publishing varied were the challenges that are constantly bringing out the different communities and users, that's how I started to participate in makeup challenges, to make crafts, to sing, to create and write about Cryptos and finances, and although I still publish what characterizes me, which are stories and poems, now my blog is more varied, representing me more holistically in who I am. In fact, I even started playing strategy games when I joined Splinterlands, something I had never done before, a year where I have definitely changed for the better.

Friendships

What's the best thing that can happen when you arrive at a place? Well, for me it's making friends. And this year HIVE has brought me some of the very best, I can name them here, but I would not want to forget any of them and hurt feelings, so they know who they are, and for me they are the most valuable thing that this first year in Hive leaves, especially because with them I learn every day, because I can be part of their world when I read them, when I comment on them, because many of them have already left the digital world and we can communicate in a more real way, this year in Hive has made me understand that there are thousands of good people still in the world and that Hive is a place where it is easy to find them, because intrinsically human values are handled that work as a filter so that only the best remains.

Decentralization and accessibility of the whales making them feel like human beings.

I tell you something, thanks to what Hive allows you to expand your creativity, I created Hive account@beehibee, she allowed me this year to meet very special people, such as Hive account@eddieespino, Hive account@ilaz, Hive account@fermionico, but I never imagined that I was going to talk with Hive account@bluemist, and although it was a video call, somehow I felt that for a while he was in my house, that made me feel the truth of the humanity of all those who are behind that Hive works, the whales, they are just human beings who are there betting for a project that we all benefit from, they use their valuable time to work so that we can continue to be motivated to create, that makes me feel close to them, also in Hive they have proven to be accessible, that they are part of the whole, that is what decentralization gives, there are no owners or bosses, just people with more responsibility, but in the end like Hive account@theycallmedan (who Hive account@beehibee hopes to interview soon) they are filled with happiness when they talk about the birth of their son, or like Hive account@bluemist when he told Hive account@beehibee his dreams for Hive, they are there, they feel close and that's fabulous.

Decentralization is real, and that is felt in everyone's commitment, including all the witnesses who day by day make our blockchain possible.

My gallery in NFTShowroom

Yes! Can you believe I have an Art gallery? Well this was possible this year thanks to Hive, a place where I can share what I create and also tokenize it and earn for it, I still have a long way to go to be a professional artist, but my desire to create has always been there, and being part of Hive account@nftshowroom has allowed me to experience facets of me that were dormant, because the world of art and digital art was something I did from time to time but I had never dedicated so much time and seriousness.

My finances and my entrepreneurship supported by HIVE.

2020 arrives, and with it a virus that darkens the picture, the company where I worked as a creator of educational courses had to do without me because sales dropped, just my friend Hive account@danielvehe, one of the best ambassadors of Hive, tells me that we are being born again, so as I start to reactivate my blog in Hive, at the same time, I start to create a pastry venture called @lafrancepatisserie, creating desserts and candies and at the same time publishing, I had no resources, I had the help of a fairy godmother from outside and I also began to use my Hive earnings to invest in my venture, little by little between my fairy godmother, HIVE and my effort, they represented my way to survive in the pandemic, Hive arrived just in the perfect moment to start again with my projects and thanks to it I can say that my 2020 was not so hard economically, and until this moment we continue growing and having a very nice relationship between my blog and my desserts, besides, I started to publish my recipes, another facet that I included in my blog.

This is the reason for my second gift to HIVE, for me it constituted and continues to be a light in this dark moment we are living, and for all those who have been a light in my path, from there was born the lyrics of this song, in which my son Hive account@jkalthor helped me with the musical arrangements. It is in English, because I wanted to reach all the people of HIVE, soon I will create its Spanish version, But like everything in HIVE, it makes us leave our comfort zone to always aspire for more, to the English speakers, my native language is Spanish, however it is made with all my love. I hope you like it. I show it to you at the end.

The communities

If there is one thing I have enjoyed about Hive this year, it is the possibility to share with people who have the most varied interests, the best of all is that I can find them easily, since the communities give such a special sense of order, it's like arriving to a place where everything is beautifully organized, and we can share with those who are similar to us, that is one of the things I have liked this year, that little by little I have been able to be included in communities where I am getting to know skills that I did not know I had, it is called inclusion and respect for diversity, and I think they are the most beautiful values we have in Hive.

I have also continued doing what I like, my poems, my music and my songs, and yes, as I said at the beginning, Hive came to be light in a year that seemed very dark especially for Venezuelans, it has been wonderful to see how this platform has helped thousands of Venezuelan families to stand up in the midst of so much difficulty, One of the things that I have loved to see is how entire families have made Hive a space to grow and share their talents, as is the case of a singer and musician friend that I admire very much Hive account@davidcentenor, I have seen his whole family participate in Hive, from the youngest to the oldest, there is the best example that Hive is a wide world where we all have the possibility to dream, grow, create and share.

Finally, besides the cake, my birthday gift for Hive is a song I created where I capture the feeling of being lost at the beginning of the year, but like a light Hive and many other people in my life have been there for me not to lose my way as a creator. I hope you like it. It was made together with my son Hive account@jkalthor and is my birthday gift to this beautiful hive.

Canción : STRONGER
Letra : Zully Castejón Scott
Música: Zully Castejón Scott y Hanuman Sánchez Castejón .


Sometimes everything is dark
Sometimes I get lost around,
Worlds in me are born
In all you´re my song.

Sometimes everything is dark
but at time I can hear my voice
My mind get strong
if ´s you are close.

Nothing can defeat me when
I see the light in soul,
Darkness will be gone when we
are all conected throuh love.

Somethimes I think , I´m gonna astray
but you appear and light up my way,
worlds in my born
and you will always belong.

Traducción: Español

A veces todo es oscuro
a veces me pierdo por ahí,
Mundos nacen de mí
y en todos tú eres mi canción.

A veces todo es oscuro
pero en algún momento puedo oir mi voz,
mi mente se fortalece
Si tu estás cerca.

Nada puede vencerme
cuando veo la luz del alma
la oscuridad se irá
cuando todos estemos conectados
a través del amor.

A veces pienso, "Me voy a desviar"
pero apareces e iluminas mi camino
mundos nacen de mi
y en todos tu siempre estarás.

Nada puede vencerme
cuando veo la luz del alma
la oscuridad se irá
cuando todos estemos conectados
a través del amor.
