Happy Birthday!
My 3 years will be in January, so my story is similar to yours. A friend told me "This place is made for you" so I joined. I was just coming off a business loss, too. Only about 6k, but it still left a mark :)
One of the beauties of Hive has been stumbling onto the PHC community and meeting people like you. I'm really glad for both of those things.
Happy Birthday, and Thanks for being you and being here.
