I've not really been feeling very motivated to write, nothing positive anyway. Yet that is exactly what is needed. To focus on what we do have. To find the strength within, to express our gratitude. Even when it feels like the world is getting a little darker, because its now that we need the light the most. That we need to share our light.
Today when I signed on here, I saw a message from Hivebuzz, telling me that I've been writing on Hive/Steemit for 6 years now. What a roller-coaster those six years have been and oh how much I have changed/grown. Life just kept on throwing things at me. Making me adapt, as I made space for my grief and my healing.
That is perhaps, where most of our grown comes from afterall.
Six years of sharing, of allowing my writing to bring me healing, as I shared what is really, the workings of my brain. Glimpses of my life, my poetry like an offering. Music that inspires me and sharing my true passions. How I really strive, to be of service to the earth.
Six years of interacting, making friends, feeling connected. Which is perhaps been the biggest surprise for me. How connected I feel to some of the people on here. I don't have much time each day, to spend online. My days are busy, busy living. Being with my girls. So I don't get to check in, so much, with the people on here. But I sure am very grateful to you all, for being here, sharing your advice, opening up, inspiring me and really helping me get through some dark times in my life.
Where I felt like I went through some major rites of passage, in just a few years. So I am very grateful for those, who's words have and continue, to lift and support me. I think you all know who you are. At least I hope you do.
Besides some poetry here and there, I wasn't really writing so much, and I certainly was not sharing my life with anyone online. But after being introduced to this platform and taking some time to explore it, I signed up. I liked the idea of connecting with and ultimately learning from folk, from all over the world.
Plus, I really believe we need to preserve free speech. Freedom is something I intend to hold onto and protect. Both for me and my girls. As it has been slowly taken from us these last few years, disguised as being for our own safety.
Writing, has been a huge part of my healing journey. Helping me to process and let go. Connecting me more, with my inner wisdom. That flows, when I tap into it.
Six years and I've moved 3 times, each time, not knowing where I would be going, until the last moment. Watching the world get turned upside down, by Covid and their plandemic. I've lost friends amd made some, got more involved with the local community and felt myself become more empowered. Whilst also losing, two very important people from my life.
So much has changed and through it all, I have had this platform, providing me with an outlet and a support network.
I came on here not really understanding the blockchain and its potential and not really understanding crypto. But my knowledge has grown, along with my gratitude for the wonderful community on here. It really has enriched my life, in ways I did not expect.
Happy Hive-aversary @trucklife-family ,I guess forgot mine back somewhere in August. 🎂
Thanks @kerrislravenhill xxx
Happy Hive-day, wonderful human <3 I'm so glad and thankful you're here, and that you found so much use in writing here. I hope you continue to do so, because this place and the world need your beautiful light.
PS: Beautiful dress. And beautiful you. <3
Thank you beautiful, I'm so happy to have connected with you on here xxxx
Congratulations on 6 years! I'm the very same, sharing anything about my own life wasn't something I ever done on traditional social media, but being here it feels different; like I'm more comfortable or something.
It's a whacky ole world, and the past 6 years in retrospect have been pretty strange. But, all we can do is keep the head up and move forward. Also, too right, I think Hive is what the world needs. Right now, too few have too much control over too many, and while most of them get censored and erased from the web we'll all still be here, as will our content we share.
Cheers @killerwot.
Yeah, we need to be connected now more than ever xxx

I started in June 2017 and only just realised you started reasonably soon after...I don't know how I missed that. It's a good milestone you've reached and, like me, can consider yourself an oldie. Lol.
Yeah, I'm proud to call myself an oldie.
I'm very happy to have connected with you on here @galenkp. I thought of you when I posted my roaring photo lol xxx
Oldies must roar! 😉
