Hello friends, this is my first time posting in the community and participating in the contests announced through the Discord channel, I did the verification last week. Today I will tell you my perspective on those factors that caused significant changes in my life.

¡Let's get started!

My love for reading and writing

Undoubtedly, one of the factors that has influenced my changes as a person has been to cultivate the habit of reading and writing. This is something that goes back several years ago, when I was still a junior in high school, and I was like in a bubble world. I lived to meet my mother's expectations in terms of grades and I used to have fun in my free time with video games.

Those two points mentioned before, pushed me a little more to limit my communication and the bonds I developed with other people could be counted on the fingers of my hands. It was in third grade, when the guidance teacher would make some evaluations based on the reading of certain books, such as "The knight in rusty armor" and "who took my cheese", two books that in my opinion are very good and are excellent for someone to start reading.

Reading those two books allowed me to broaden my perspective on the world and ignited in me a fever to read and discover more words, worlds and knowledge hidden behind the books that other people wrote. After that, I didn't stay quiet, I asked for more books, and I met Haruki Murakami, Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Julio Verne, Dan Brown, Ernesto Sábato and a long etcetera.

This has undoubtedly changed me, nowadays I don't play any kind of video games, I prefer to read. I also cultivate the habit of writing in my free time and when I can participate in contests held in my country I do it, although I'm still a novice =)

Responsibilities

The difficulties of life are not long in coming, when you reach a certain age, you have to find some kind of job to make a living. Previously the economic situation in my country didn't affect me so much, but now it does, my family has traveled and I stayed in my home country with an aunt. For the last two years, I have made a great effort and managed to buy my epilepsy medication on my own.

I also managed to contribute to the household by contributing some money for food. Although I am currently unemployed, I am still looking for ways to get ahead to overcome all kinds of obstacles. I have changed my habits about money management, I rarely allow myself to spend on anything other than food for the house or medication and I look for ways to work using my writing skills. Hive, is a good platform in that sense because it gives you a lot of opportunities.

Conclusion

My life has changed quite a bit since I was young, I used to be a young man with no other worries than studies and video games. Then I grew up and adopted different habits and activities that have shaped me to some extent. Along with the changes came responsibilities and that resulted in the constant search in which I find myself to solve my economic problems and bring some support to the home.

I always try to take advantage of these valuable opportunities, especially if they are related to writing.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read.

I hope you liked it.
