Target reached - 5000 HP and Yearly Author badge on track

When I announced the target of 5000HP at the very beginning of this year, honestly, I had no real idea on how to achieve it.

My articles were barely reached by curation trails, I was not interacting much and I simply hoped that luck would have helped me, sooner or later.

Luckily, some people came into help and in this article I want to try to thank all of them, recalling the type of support they gave me, either with some votes or with valuable advices.

First inputs I received were from @libertycrypto27 and @stefano.massari that from great Italian companions, suggested me how to be more consistent into the Hive ecosystem, bringing contents to be valuable for the community, looking for contests and interacting with people.

That’s when I decided that during 2023, I would compete for the Yearly Author Badge, issued from @arcange that with this badge issued my spirit of self-competition, seeing if I could reach such ambitious target. As of today, we have not reached it (yet), but we are still on track to get it and that’s fundamental to get it at the end of this year.

Other two people I really want to thank are @galenkp and @tarazkp the “Whale Brothers”.

With them, I received much support in the Weekend-Experiences and Reflections community, feedbacks and especially much valuable contents directly from them and from the authors involved in those communities.

Some other people I want to thank are @melinda010100 that gave me the opportunity to become a Guest Curator for @ecency . It has been a great experience, reading tens of great articles worth curation and expressing them why the content was curated, enhancing the skills of the author, sometimes suggesting also some tips on how to improve other articles. It has been a great experience and training for me as well, on how to improve my witing skills.

Still on the topic on curation, thanks to @ocd and @ocdb , also due thanks to @lauramica and @mipiani , because some of my content was curated by them personally!

Another people I want to thank is @acidyo with whom I had great conversations about token, tokenomics and great projects ongoing on Hive.

@shanibeer for the support with the @eddie-earner community
Furthermore, I want to thank @alonicus , @zealous4ever, @eds-vote for the continuous support to my contents.

Reaching this goal has been a rush throughout the year, finding time to collect images, contents, ideas and thoughts. Also during the most dense periods, the motivation and inspiration to be consistent.

During the year, many articles got good results while others, very much curated and personal were almost ignored by the community. That has been a test too, trying to become detached from the results and simply keeping writing without expectations, getting the best out of the messages and shared contents.

Great results are usually achieved through a continuous, constant and aware effort and that's why I the Yearly Badge Author was a must to show my real commitment to the process!
