Hello! Look who is here today š
Iām actually so excited Iām not sure where to start from.
This is more like a re-introduction post seeing that Iām not exactly new here but three years of absence is plenty time for unapplied knowledge to get rusty and while Iām impressed with the growth and how much this platform has evolved, I barely know my way around.
Anyways, Iām pretty confident that within a couple of days Iād get the gist and I canāt wait to be a part of different amazing communities.
So who exactly am I?
I have to say that the answer to this question would have been different a couple of years ago but of course, my core values have been retained. It only gets betterā¦My name is Sussan, I often use Sussan Austin as my pen name. I found out about the blockchain and different aspects of it in 2017 and never left the crypto space ever since. Thereās something that the knowledge of cryptos and blockchain does to you, you realize youāre super early to something big and you donāt leave, ever.
I joined this platform in 2017(obviously) and it was the highlight of my life that year. It was amazing, I learnt a lot, I was active in a number of communities and I made life-changing friendships. To be honest, a lot of my current achievements kicked off after steemit, it was mind-blowing as well as exhausting but we had this slogan ācome for the money, stay for the communityā and we just kept going. After a while the traffic was so much that one could barely keep up.
Right now, I only have fond memories, probably because Iām writing this with Nostalgia. Itās like talking about the good old days with so much passion when in reality or if you go back in time you have to admit that it wasnāt that great.
Why the long break??
Well, when I stopped blogging, I was feeling overwhelmed by a lot of things. I was struggling with many challenges including family misunderstandings and psychological issues. A lot of time has passed and I now relate with this saying:Life can be understood by looking backwards but must be lived forward.
It wasnāt exactly easy and there were a lot of tough choices and peer pressure but Iām really glad my decisions paid off. Iām not exactly where I want to be(nobody really is because this is so dynamic) but Iām very much far from where I used to be and this is something I am very much grateful for.
What am I up to now?
Iām doing two main things at the moment ā Trading and Data Science. Thatās right, Iām on my way to becoming a full-blown Data Scientist which is one thing Iāve always aspired to be. I have a Bachelorās degree in Statistics so thatās a plus for me. I might do my Masters in Data Science sometime in the future but for now Iām still honing my skills and building my job portfolio.In between that, Iām someone who always like to live and not just let life pass by because I believe that life is in the living so Iāve been to a couple of places I only dreamed of before and I intend to do more of that.
Somehow, I found time to make swimming a hobby and itās my way of keeping fit.
Iāve actually always loved reading and writing, making new friends and adding value to peopleās lives, which, if Iām not mistaken, those are still the core values of this platform. Hopefully there are discord groups I can join to stay up to date.(pls comment with an invite link if that's ok)
Iām going to be writing about Data Science, cryptos and my personal experiences.
I hope to be welcomed once again to Hive!
