It’s already the middle of the week, and I must say that these are usually the toughest days for me. This is the point when I begin feeling a little burned out, both physically and mentally. At the beginning of the week, especially on Monday, I normally feel energetic because I’ve had plenty of rest from Saturday to Sunday.
Long hours of sleep, random naps, and having fewer things to worry about during the weekend help replenish my energy. But once the workweek begins and my sleeping hours become shorter, it becomes much easier for me to feel tired.
I guess this is simply part of the weekly cycle, LOL!
The good thing is that I usually start feeling better once I manage to sleep longer or when the weekend gets closer. Right now, I’m already looking forward to the coming weekend, especially because National Day is just around the corner.
It will be a long weekend for us here in the city. Although the actual holiday falls on Sunday, the public holiday will be observed on Monday, which gives us an additional day to rest and enjoy ourselves.
Of course, I already have plans for it.
I’m hoping to use the long weekend for more cycling adventures from Saturday until Monday. Yay!
Cycling has become one of the activities that helps me clear my thoughts. Whenever I’m riding, I get the chance to observe the city, discover unfamiliar places, take photographs, and temporarily forget about the stress of the workweek. It’s tiring physically, but in a strange way, it also helps restore my mental energy.
While thinking about life, work, and the upcoming weekend, I also found myself wondering why I always seem to have so much to say about Hive.
Maybe it’s because Hive is one of the most exciting things that has happened to me throughout all my years of surfing the internet.
I still remember when using the internet mostly meant browsing websites, reading articles, chatting with friends, or downloading files. Today, technology has evolved to the point where ordinary people have access to tools that allow them to create content, build communities, manage digital assets, and even develop applications without having deep knowledge of programming languages.
Ideas are now much easier to execute because information is accessible almost everywhere. We can watch tutorials, read documentation, ask questions, experiment with tools, and learn from other people’s experiences.
I believe this generation has some of the best tools ever created for learning and building. That is one of the reasons why I continue betting on technologies like Hive.
What fascinates me about Hive is the combination of its social and financial aspects. It isn’t simply a cryptocurrency that sits inside a wallet while people wait for its price to increase. It is also a living social platform where people can write, share photographs, discuss ideas, support communities, play games, and build projects.
Because of that, I don’t think we should disregard Hive simply because of its current market price. The price may be disappointing, but it doesn’t fully represent the real value of the blockchain.
And I’m not saying this only because I’m an active participant here. I’m saying it because Hive has created real value in my personal life.
Without Hive, I probably wouldn’t have pursued some of my hobbies as seriously as I do today. Blogging encouraged me to improve my writing. Sharing photographs motivated me to explore more places. Earning rewards helped support some of my cycling, photography, gaming, and travel activities.
More importantly, the community gave me a place where my interests could grow.
That is why I feel that I owe this community a lot.
Life shouldn’t be about money alone. Of course, financial stability matters, and earning from our efforts is always appreciated. But personal growth, experiences, relationships, and the motivation to keep learning are equally valuable.
Sometimes, the greatest reward isn’t the amount displayed beside a post. It’s realizing that a platform helped you become more active, creative, curious, and confident.
I hope there are others who feel the same way about Hive. Maybe we joined for different reasons, but many of us stayed because the platform became part of our lives.
