Hello Hive!
A little bird told me about HIVE, I don't mean Twitter; oh! That is gone, and we have X now, but either way, i didn't get to know about hive from there as well. I would have loved to disclose the little birdy now, but i want you to enjoy my post, so as you read, you would find out. So let's shoot.
A happy lady from somewhere on earth, Happiness Amame is from West Africa, Nigeria to be precise, and i be confirm Edo girl, and as we say in Nigeria, Edo babe na sharp babe though I grew up elsewhere. currently navigating the twists and turns of adulthood and trying to make life a little easier for herself... hmmm.
From Lab Coats to Life Lessons
For my university years, I dived into the world of nature, studying Plant Science and Biotechnology at Ekiti State University. I've always been fascinated by how things grow, but lately, I've been focusing on my own growth.
The "After-School" Reality Check
Like many graduates, I quickly discovered that life after school isn't as sweet as people make it look. I came into a new city to serve my father's land as they use to say,i tried to stay back afterward with high hopes of finding a better life, but being here has shown me shege ,that reality can be very different from expectations. Being the first child in a family where things were fairly okay comes with its own unique set of responsibilities and life lessons. Even with the confusion and the daily challenges of figuring out what's next, I’ve been pushing through and learning every single day.
The Extrovert
I like connecting with people and sharing energy.
I sabi talk ehn people often tell me happiness,i like it when you talk because they know something reasonable will come out,to be candid i don't even know i have brain like that....funny right?There was a time i thought of doing podcast but i had to rethink maybe because i didn’t have the courage to start.
I believe every conversation is an opportunity to learn something new, and i think this might help me here on HIVE!.
I am a huge movie lover! It’s my favourite way to unwind when the pressure of life gets a bit much. If you have any Netflix recommendations, send them my way.
I’m constantly wondering about my next steps, but I’ve learned to embrace the "learning as I go" philosophy. Why I Joined Hive I’ll be honest i wasn’t fully convinced when that little bird first introduced me to this platform. However, I decided to give it a try. I love the idea of platforms where people share real stories.
My goals here are simple
To learn and grow personally.
To share my life experiences authentically.
To connect with others who have walked the path I’m on now.
I’m looking forward to learning more about how Hive works and meeting you all. If you have any advice for navigating life after school or adjusting to a new city, I’d love to hear it in the comments! Thank you for having me.
