Hello Community,
I won’t even lie, I cannot really say I have gotten to that point where I seriously wanted to quit Hive completely, maybe it is because, even though my account is old, it still feels like I only truly started using Hive properly not too long ago, so for me, I still feel like I am discovering things here little by little.
But if I am being real, there was one moment recently where I kind of pulled back mentally for a bit.
And honestly, it had nothing to do with Hive itself, it was more of an emotional thing.
There are times in life when your mind is just heavy, and even the things you normally enjoy start feeling stressful, You open your phone, you want to write, you want to engage, but mentally you are just not there, that was the closest I have come to feeling disconnected from Hive.
I remember there were days I would stare at my screen and not even know what to post, not because ideas were not there, but because emotionally I just felt drained, and one thing I have realized is that when your mind is not settled, it affects everything else around you.
The funny thing is that from the outside, people may not even notice, you can still comment here and there, still look active somehow, but deep down you know your energy is different.
I think that is normal though.
Sometimes people make it seem like consistency means always feeling motivated, but honestly, that is not realistic, there are days motivation disappears completely, and the only thing left is whether you still want to keep going or not.
For me, even during that period, I never really looked at Hive and thought, “Yeah, I am done forever.”
Nah.....If anything, I just needed space mentally.
And I think that’s important too. Sometimes taking a small step back is better than forcing yourself until you completely burn out, one thing I like about Hive is that people here are humans first before content creators, Life happens offline too.
What kept me grounded honestly was remembering why I started taking Hive seriously in the first place.
Not just because of earnings, but because I genuinely enjoy writing and expressing myself here, i like the communities, the interactions, and the feeling that people actually read and connect with what you post.
That kind of thing is hard to walk away from completely, and truthfully, growth takes time.
I think many people reach a point where they feel tired because they expect things to happen very quickly, but platforms like this require patience, consistency, and time, sometimes your best decision is not quitting, it is simply resting and coming back stronger.
So yeah, I cannot say I have seriously wanted to quit Hive.
I have had moments where life and emotions affected my energy, yes, but completely giving up? I don’t think so.
I am still here.
And honestly, I feel like I will still be here for a long time.
