It’s been two whole years since I left Hive, and honestly, it feels like I’ve been away forever. Life really dealt me some heavy blows within that time. I lost my father-in-law, then my mother-in-law, and not long after, I lost my own mum. To crown it all, I also lost my job. Everything just came at once, and I couldn’t keep up. Depression set in and I completely shut down.
The hardest part was losing my mum right in my arms when I was seven months pregnant. That memory still lives with me. It felt like my whole world crumbled in front of me. But two months later, I gave birth to my daughter, and to my surprise she looks so much like my mum. Every time I look at her, it feels like my mum came back to me through her. That alone has been my comfort and strength.
Now, fast forward to today, i logged back into Hive and everything looks so new. The interface is like a newborn baby to me. I’ve forgotten most of the things I knew back then, and trying to navigate feels so funny, as if I was never here before. But you know what? It feels so good to be back.
Where are my gist buddies? I’ve missed you all! I’m really looking forward to reuniting with my old friends and also making new ones along the way. This place has always felt like home, and I’m happy to be back. Stay tuned because as time goes on, I’ll be sharing more about everything I went through.
