I need to get to the point quick on this post as I have a 300 word limit, and I have to talk about the positives of my Hive journey. Both a tad bit difficult as I'm used to writing long posts, and tbh there isn't much to feel positive about recently. I feel like the positivity has been encapsulated in darkness.
No, I'm not talking about Hive tanking to 20c recently. I've experienced the ATH of $3.41, my heart didn't fly to the moon then, so there's no need to get upset now. That said, my wallet did look very impressive back then.
I've met many good friends over my 7 years on Hive, some in real life and some still virtual. I value each one of them because without them, my social circle wouldn't shine so bright. Some of these friends have drifted apart, some have become inactive and some have stated clearly they're leaving Hive. Pretty difficult to stay positive when you lose friends. I'm grateful for those many who are still on Hive and I can call friends.
I had a very good run being part of Pinmapple for 7 years, one of the best community on Hive. It's a privilege not open to many. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Then something happened, I can't pinpoint exactly what or when. The black cloud gradually appeared. I decide to call it quits, ending the best chapter of my Hive journey. It just felt like the right thing to do.
Maybe I'm just going through a phase in life where you want to pack it all in, but deep down you know everything is too valuable to let go completely. Maybe darkness shall pass, flowers shall bloom, and positivity shall return. Maybe Hive will moon.
