Uncertainty. It can make you freak out if you do not have control over your emotions. It almost happened to me. Wait, it did happen, and I'll tell you how.

Last month, I couldn't get a badge for the Hive power up day because I didn't have up to 10 liquid Hive. I was ashamed. I had promised to power up every month till the end of the year. Therefore, when it seems as though I won't be able to do so in March, I felt bad. But because I promised, I said to myself, "you have to keep to your words, it doesn't matter if you get a badge or not, as long as you stay true to your promises" and I did.

The results of taking this step of faith gave me 20 liquid Hive courtesy of jamerussell@jamerussell. The kind mister sent me this liquid Hive while I slept and I woke up to the notification. I rejoiced. Gosh, I was really happy, nothing can describe the unspeakable joy that spread out in my heart. In his memo, he said, "hahaha, now, you have some for April 1st, no matter what"

Do you know I didn't pay attention to this part, " no matter what "?. I want you to understand that if I did then I wouldn't have panicked when hive power up day drew closer and it didn't seem as though I would have enough Hive to balance that 20 liquid Hive.

Of course, I used the liquid Hive he sent to clear bills offline, and I was hoping to redeem it when my posts payout further down the line. It got hectic, you have to believe me, I was frantically paying off those bills, and the power up day was getting closer and closer and uncertainty began to creep in. Hive was already going up in value, and my HBD equivalent wasn't looking as though it would convert to 20 liquid Hive. Gosh, what did I do? I started questioning myself.

As though this part wasn't enough, I decided to take my engagement seriously, in the first week, the results came out, and I made it to dswigle@dswigle lucky number. I was so happy when I saw her send 5 liquid Hive to me as a reward.

She did ask that I power up in her memo, but, I remembered that powering up on Hive power up will be more significant than doing it on that day. For this reason, I promised her I would do it today, and the kind mistress tipped me an extra 2 Hive and I was overjoyed.

Fickle fate didn't stop here, she made me end up in her lucky number again for the next week. As though, the universe was on my side all the while, she had issues sending my reward on the said day, once she redeem it, she doubled it. To 10 liquid Hive. Are you serious? You asked,yeah. I have screenshots as proof. Again, I promised to power up today.

This brings us to a total of 37 Liquid Hive donated to me for my power up Day. Now, where the hell is it? Missing. This is the uncertainty part guys. I did all my calculations, and I thought, certainly, if I do my best I will be able to redeem that number of Hive on the 1st of April.

Do you know what Hive did in the market? It kept going up and down, struggling between $0.8-and $0.9, my post payout was dwindling by the day, and I lost hope. I could envision today, and see that I would be considered a lying bitch, and it broke my heart.

But, I had forgotten, jamerussell@jamerussell had said, "no matter what", if I had paid attention, I would have been hopeful that no matter what happens, I'll redeem those Hive just as he said. The universe didn't wait upon me to shine me luck, because, she didn't want to give me an April Fool's day today. To help me, she inspired me to create two posts last week that brought me to a total of 35.833 liquid Hive no matter the price of hive as of the time I am writing this post.

Mister James was right, no matter what, I do have liquid tokens to power up. And I wouldn't have done it without him, dswigle@dswigle, and everyone who has been quite supportive from the beginning. You guys are my lucky charm. I am grateful, thank you so much.

To cut this story short, today, I powered up 35.833 Hive, and I promise dswigle@dswigle that I will power up the rest of the 1.167 Liquid Hive when my post pays out tomorrow.

If wishes were horses, I would have wished hive to be at around $0.8 or $0.9 today, this would have given me an edge and more liquid Hive the moment I exchanged my HBD. I can't change the fact that Hive is at $1.22 today. It's all good, I give thanks to the Almighty for everything.

Now, I am currently flexing on a total of 769.382HP as compared to 733.547HP right before I powered up.
