Hello Hive Fam, most especially my ever-supportive Hive Friends all over the world and my co-Pinoy Hivers! 馃挅

It鈥檚 been several days since I last logged in, and the truth is, I鈥檝e been sick and I鈥檓 still in the process of recovering. My doctor advised me to lessen my screen time, so I haven鈥檛 been as active here as I used to be. But today, I wanted to check in, read your inspiring posts, and share my current situation.

As a gig worker, life feels extra challenging; no work means no pay. All my available funds were used for my recovery, and honestly, I was running out of time and resources. Thankfully, my generous neighbor came to the rescue, giving me 5 kilos of rice and a can of luncheon meat. That simple act of kindness meant so much, and I鈥檓 truly grateful.

I won鈥檛 pretend it鈥檚 easy. There are moments when I don鈥檛 know how I鈥檒l get through this. But I鈥檓 holding on to hope. I believe the right time will come when I can resume my gigs again. I really do love working from home compared to my previous onsite job, and I鈥檓 eager to return to the hustle once I鈥檓 well.

Thank you, Hive Fam, for your support, prayers, and encouragement. I know you鈥檙e rooting for me, and that keeps me strong. I look forward to the day I can be active here again, reading, upvoting, commenting, writing and creating content like before.

Stay safe always, and remember--- I love you, my Hive Fam! 馃挄
