Honestly, if someone had told me that I would be starting my Leo stack journey from scratch again today I wouldn't believe it. As at this time last year, I was aiming for 10k Leo power by the end of the year. But here I am, starting over again from zero, after I was almost reaching 5k Leo power last year.
Things can happen so fast in life that you least expect. From one unexpected event to another, you soon find yourself on the floor while you were almost at the summit. I was so determined in growing my Leo stack that I even started by bringing in some cash to buy my first 1k Leo tokens at the time I started here. But, life unpredictability pushed me to unstacked my Leo tokens and sold them. And my Hive power also was not spared. Of a truth, I was at the point of calling it over with Hive and everything blogging and online hustling, which made me put my HP on full power down.
So people would say, man proposes but God disposes. I somewhat disagree with the statement. God doesn't destroy what a man plans to achieve. Rather, it's a man's inability to follow up with the plan or some unexpected events of life that often destroy plans. In my case it was unexpected events that were beyond my control that bursted my Hive and Leo plans.
Everything started with work transfer to a new city. This means I have to dismantle everything I have built in the previous city with a hope of rebuilding in the new city. But things aren't as easy as black and white. The transfer dealt a hard punch on my finances and drained it out quicker than I thought. Without a means of income, it was obvious that Hive would be my lifeline. But the rewards earned on blogs were not enough to run my daily expenses, hence the need for powering down.
Even so, the drop from HP each week was not sufficient to cater to family needs, therefore Leo tokens had to come to the rescue. It was painful selling those tokens because I knew the value of holding those tokens. They are like flight tickets and an identity in the leofinance community and Inleo platform. Nonetheless, I brew it all, and I need to start over again from scratch.
It's very hard to begin again, and I'm worrying about how to start over again. I don't have cash or fiat now to buy some Leo tokens to stack like I did before. The only option I have is engaging on Leothread and posting blog posts regularly on the leofinance community. But then, I feel scared to take these options because I don't have that flair for crypto and finance writing as I used to back when I was active in the community.
In most times I have tried to write on crypto, I find myself not able now to pass the introduction paragraph. And also, when I tried to engage Leothread, I felt completely like a stranger. Seeing everyone I used to interact with are all premium users makes me feel inferior. Nonetheless, I have decided to put all these behind and get into grinding in whatever manner.
The leofinance community used to be a home for me and I hope getting back and being active can restore my relationship with the community like it used to be in the past for me. I am now ready to get down to work, thread like there's no tomorrow.
Will I get a premium subscription soon to help me get back on track quickly? Well, that would depend on the amount of rewards I earned and the frequency of the rewards. All things being equal, I will certainly get a premium subscription to enjoy the best of Inleo.
In a nutshell, I am geared up to grind again and I hope things don't go the way they went in the past. With the community support which is ever available, I hope to regain my confidence towards building a Leo portfolio on Hive.
Thanks for reading!
