Someone probably thought I'm here on Hive for many years already but nope, I just celebrated my first Hive birthday last Thursday! That's right, I just turned one here on the platform.
I don't know what to feel. Being here for a year is something to boast about (and I guess this is what I'm doing now?) but sometimes I just tend to hide and celebrate silently without anyone knowing except me so there will be no expectations from me. Some people might expect something from me and if I don't act according to their expectations, not only will they feel bad about me but I'll also feel bad about myself.
I don't know what to say. I don't think I'm doing the most amazing job but if I can, I'm really trying my very best especially with helping out people who have a lot of questions about Hive. I don't have all the answers but I try my best to answer them or at least direct them to people who know the answers.
I don't know what to think. Maybe because I've been active here for a year, I don't know what to think about the future. For sure, I'm having a lot of fun. I just don't know if fun is enough to be here. But I like being here, and that's really something I can say for sure.
Actually, I don't know what I'm rambling about. My thoughts? Yeah, they are my thoughts, my feelings, and something I don't often talk to people about.
I just know for sure that I'm so grateful to (she's inactive here for a while now but she's busy with IRL stuff) for leading me here. I've been looking for a platform to blog and connect with people but WordPress didn't give me that satisfaction. If not for her, I'd probably still be out there, perhaps on Twitter or other social media platforms, writing a lot without ever connecting with people.
Anyways, I really don't know what this post is all about. It's supposed to be a good one but I just can't think properly. Lately, I've been busy and my head is all over the place. Maybe that's also the reason why my mind isn't working properly and this came out as a random post.
Ah, it's my Hive birthday. I should probably be highlighting my favorite posts and stats..? Let's see.
In a year, I've made 112 posts, 7k comments, and became a minnow. Probably doing good but not so great.
Probably I have high standards so 112 posts isn't a lot for me. 365 days have passed and I've only posted 30%. 50% is high so I actually wished for at least 40%. Blame my laziness and lame excuses.
7k comments but I want them to be higher. I want to connect to people, learn about their lives and discover parts of the world I've never been to so meh, this 7k is far from what I imagined it to be.
My favorite blog would probably be The Great Buddha In The Temple In Aomori And How It Turned To Be A Memorably Funny Day because I did story-telling about a memorable thing that happened but I realized it's kinda hard to story tell in words only. I needed actions too.
Everytime my friends and I would gather, an important event of this trip will always come up with our talk. That's how I love this trip. Also, I went with some of my closest friends so it's really a memorable post for me.
I want to continue posting more about the places I've traveled, the food I've eaten, the anime/tv shows I've watched, the games I've played, the photos I've captured and the memories I've brought home from all of these.
I want to learn more about the world and connect with people, be amazed at what they do and the places they've went, as if I went with them. I like sincere relationships and connections so I'm really happy I got to know a lot of people here on Hive. The people I know here I get to boast to my friends IRL. That's how happy I am to know (and some have become my friends) people here in the platform.
This has really become a super random post and I don't know if this is worth your time reading this so okay, I'll probably stop here. Oh wait, before ending this post..
Thank you for being part of my 1 year Hive journey! Cheers for more!
I should probably be out there celebrating, at least drinking something, right? What do you think?
Ah~ I probably should make up for a nicer Hive birthday post.
If you made til here, thanks for reading!
See you around! じゃあ、またね!
