"The journey is just as important as the destination."
I can't remember where I read this, but I couldn't agree more, and that's how I see Hive. In fact, I don't know what my destination is, and it doesn't matter because this journey has been nothing short of incredible. I don't know what my life was like before I discovered this universe. So far, I know that this blockchain has added a lot of value to my life in many ways.
Hive has given me friends, real friends that I talk to almost every day despite the physical distance. I've connected with many people I may never meet, some I've never even seen their faces, but I know they have good hearts and there's a connection here that I've rarely found elsewhere. The people here have become a reference in my life, and there are many shared experiences and knowledge absorbed.
One of my greatest prides here at Hive is being one of the founders of the Brazilian community (HiveBR), which in turn supports the development of its members and lends a hand to newly arrived Brazilians. Another cog turning and working for a greater good, and I take great pleasure in being part of this story that is being built day by day.
This is my second home. I love being there every day, and after more than 800 posts and interactions that I've lost count of, I feel like a boy discovering the world. Since 2021, Hive has shown me the power of consistency, taught me about life, provided experiences, made me laugh, and moved me, all through the expressions of other people who see life through different eyes. Gradually, I've been building my decision-making power here through HP, which is one of the greatest assets a "Hiver" can have. Recently, I reached 10,000 HP just by creating posts, and that was one of the biggest milestones in my journey.
Hive is an amazing place and I'm here to help build it.
