Maybe I will continue my daily presence with my posts, but I know that it will not be a burden for me, that I will not place that activity in the "You have to do" part of the activity, but I will transfer it to the "You want to do" part of the activity, and thus, my socializing in the Hive world becomes what I love to do, not what I have to do.
I can certainly relate. Sometimes I'd be away from the platform for months or even a couple of years at one point right after separation from the legacy chain. Life happens to us, but we all make time for what we consider important. If we adhere to the rules, Hive is a great place, and we certainly don't want our time here to feel more like a chore than a delight.
For now I'm not planning a long absence, but I'm just at the beginning, judging by the number of years you've been at Hive 🙂
Yeah, as you can see, this will be my 8th year on Steemit/Hive. However, unlike a lot of people, I don't post or interact as much but still make time now and then to connect. I've a pretty hectic life beyond Hive (so does everyone else). 😉
