Oh boy! Happy 3rd year hiving to me! July 3rd, 2021 was the day I was introduced to this amazing platform and right after the seminar that was done by @hivecebubloggers headed by the beautiful @purepinay , I posted my first blog post at midnight on the 4th of July, 2021, which you can read [here.](https://peakd.com/selfintro/@sassycebuana/the-hows-and-whats-of-sassy-cebuana-or-my-self-introduction)
Hive was and still is a blessing to this single momma. I was able to buy a mobile phone through Hive, during typhoon Odette, Hive helped us build our home back, helped me with my financial struggles, and introduced me to amazing people.
And oh, let's not forget the places I went to! I mentioned in my first post that I was hoping I could travel to Maldives and I know it is such a dream but I am still hoping it will come true in the future. I am still grateful I was able to travel to beautiful places like Boracay, Bohol, and Siargao.
A lot has happened for years, the majority of the people I onboarded here have been inactive already and It was a sad thought but I already foresee that. Blogging requires real passion, patience, and love for this craft. I still love sharing my story here compared to social media pages. Although sometimes I miss the people I've interacted with here, I miss seeing their passionate stories and meeting them in person for a chitchat and a cup of coffee. I am still hoping to see them being active again in the future. Who knows right?
It is also great to have a network where I can share my simple achievements from time to time, not just the struggles I went through but how I have overcome them. If you are going to ask me if there was a time that I considered giving up blogging here, Yes I have those moments too. Especially when I think about those blogs that I put my heart and soul into editing my photos and creating a beautiful blog post yet it was left in the corner unrewarded. But then, I came to realize that the rewards were not how my content was rated but rather how I was able to tell my story and have reached many. That's why I am still here and I will continue to write as much content as possible. This platform is also my online diary on which I can always look back whenever I want to. It is an extension of my memory core.
So allow me to thank everyone who stayed, the people who supported me, and the people who inspired me to keep on going. I still have a lot of stories to tell so brace yourselves as we continue to uplift each and everyone here. I am not going to tag everyone but know that I am extremely grateful. Let's celebrate today and I wish everyone to continue inspiring other people. Happy 3rd Year Hiversary everyone!
All love from Me to You.
