Where do I even start? If I were given from now till tomorrow, I don't think I'll be able to cover the length of the impact Hive has in my life. My story isn't toe curling like 
Summary
I joined Hive with the mindset of the majority which is to make money. Although, I have been writing since I was old enough to understand the meaning of a Diary. I'm a book lover and I used to – as a child– create my own characters for fun. My mind was quite warped and would conjure up all type of scenes. I was a living, breathing fantasy walking. Still am actually.
I'm used to making conversations with myself. When I face a problem and words on paper can't do the trick, facing the wall does. I've been called many names in my neighborhood, so much so that I believed something was actually wrong with me.
Before I continue this story, I want you to understand, as a reader, that there's nothing impossible. The things written here might sound unbelievable but it is true.
Before Hive...
I was working for more than twelve hours a day, receiving about $30 dollars every thirty days. I used to love what I did but as time passed, it began to wear me out. Working 7 days a week with little to no days off was exhausting.
When Hive found me, I had already fallen into a state of disinterest with everything. Hearing about Hive, I didn't think it to be scam because my client was living proof it was not. I just didn't believe I was smart enough.
Fast forward to weeks later after my Introduction, I joined the Newbies Initiative and made new friends. I was doing really well, earning enough and being stupid with my earnings. Then, the sunny days ended and trying times came. I found myself loosing interest and comparing myself to others. It was awful but that's not what I'm here to talk about.
Hive Miracle
Honestly, I love Hive. I quit my job to focus more on it and even though I gave myself a lot of wrong reasons, writing has always been a passion. Being myself with people and being almost invisible is a match made in heaven!
By the time I got over myself and saw Hive for what it truly is, the best in me began to emerge. I became deliberate with my goals, intentional about what I wanted and persistent in getting them. Hive pulled out that tiger in me. I read and watched my peers excel. With a willing heart, I stopped comparing and started learning. I am still learning.
I have made friends I would never trade for the world. I have taken on tasks and my prowess has been tested. I have no idea if I'm good enough yet, but I'm making progress. Success is in the process.
Thanks to Hive, I indulge the investor in me. Unlike before when I carelessly used my earnings, I now see the value of long-term. My earnings are split and distributed. This is also where I learned that you can always save, no matter how small.
Hive has settled bills for me. It has knocked sense into me too. Hive has given me recognition and... purpose. Daily, I bless God for this platform. If you look at it from my perspective, Hive is a miracle. It pretty much found me.
Conclusion...
A life without Hive? I don't even want to think about it. Maybe I'd still be at that job looking like a zombie every morning. Or maybe I'd quit and stay at home, falling once more into the cycle of depression. Or maybe I'd just welt away...
I can't imagine a life without Hive honestly. I am thinking of going into Hive full time because, I honestly love it. The thrill and the high of it all. Making it top 10 in the Hive Engagement League says a lot about how much I love this place.
Forgive me. Again, I can't imagine a life without Hive.
