I always cherish the month October. Back in 2017, it marked the beginning of a life-changing journey. October 2017 followed a few months of disbelief, deep reflection, my resignation from my day job, and countless other changes
I knew I had to look beyond what was already built for me, because it simply wasn’t enough. Even then, I felt certain that I would never settle for the ordinary. I wanted to create something new, something that truly expressed me.
After doing lots of research (and I mean lots of it), without using AI and without all the content that there is now, I sent a sign up request on steem hive .. I did not expect that it would be so quick. On this day, 8 years ago, I was accepted and I stepped into that exciting new world filled with curiosity, hope, and dreams.
I do not want to bore you know with lots of details, but I want to share this. I spent almost 20 days reading for hours and hours until I decided to write my own post. And it was the end of October when I did.
For this post, I decided to make a small giveaway. I may continue also with more giveaways soon, that will depend on a few other factors.

Today, I decided to give away 8 HBD to one lucky person.
