A year ago I tried creating my HIVE account without knowing that I successfully created it. Yes, you heard it right, I didn't know that I successfully created this account.
I tried to create an account in HIVE again around March 2023. When I tried using the same username it always said the username existed so I wondered why it existed when it was my first time creating that account until I remembered the time I tried to create this account and then I remembered that I saved the password and other keys in my desktop at work.
When I tried using the details I had saved, I finally had the chance to log in to my HIVE account. I was surprised to know that my account already existed in HIVE for a couple of months before I got the chance to finally open it.
No one guides me on how it works here. I am too shy to ask my friends who have already been a member of HIVE. Luckily one of my virtual friends 
I am happy to receive a total of $28.23 from 167 people who upvoted my very first article here.
I still didn't know about big curators here and I was happy to receive an upvote from appreciator,ocdb, and usainvote.
I am so thankful to all the writers who welcome me here. Though I am not a good writer and I don't know what topics to write about here I tried my best to be active and engage with other writers here..
I am also thankful to
After a year of being a member here and 9 months of being active, I managed to publish 72 articles. Only 72 because I wasn't that active in publishing articles daily. Sometimes I felt demotivated and unproductive.
I already tried to cash out or withdraw my first few earnings here before, especially those times that I am financially stressed. My hive earnings helped me pay the tuition fee of my daughter who was in her 10th Grade at that time. I will also thank my friend 
For now, I've been saving my earnings here in HIVE hoping to earn little by little for each article. My goal is to save for our future bedrooms. I know it will consume a lot of money to construct bedrooms but I am optimistic that one of my HIVE earnings will be enough to build two bedrooms in our little house. After my bank has been closed, HIVE is the only savings that I have.
I just recently learned how to transfer my earnings to savings here in HIVE. Next time I will try to learn how to Power Up. I still don't know how to do it right.
I also tried to join some contests here and I am happy to win some of them, especially about gardening. I felt special knowing that theirs a lot of good writers here sharing their articles about gardening yet they chose my article to be one of the winners.
Next time I will explore more communities and join more contests. I guess joining the contest will make your profile known to other writers too.
Ending thoughts
I am always been grateful to be part of the HIVE community. I met a lot of virtual friends while earning. I learn from their experiences too,
through reading other articles.
To more years to celebrate being a member here in HIVE.
Sorry, I didn't have any celebration in my first year here as I was busy at home cleaning LOL.
To more articles to write, read, and upvote.
Hopefully, I will be more productive this year and in more coming years.
Thank you so much, everyone. God bless us all.
