While curating 
The truth is, I wasn't always this lukewarm. In fact, I was one of the most active and fastest-growing people on Hive ecosystem in my early days. But that growth streak only lasted for a little over three months before the chord was broken somewhere. Since then, I've been trying to stay afloat, to no avail.
I'm not totally ignorant of what led to my sudden passiveness on the platform. But, with all of those factors, I could've still managed to be at least a bit active.
Though I was restrained by many factors, I think they all compounded and produced a lack of motivation; not just motivation to write, but motivation to put in a larger volume of work on Hive.
Still, I love Hive platform, mainly because of the Wonderful people who inspired me to sign up on the platform and because the platform has greatly enhanced my web3, blockchain, and crypto knowledge.
In forums, I do find myself leading sound conversations centred around blockchain. I don't know if that would've been possible if I wasn't on Hive.
Blockchain and transactions around crypto used to look too complicated for me. As a person who leads a busy life outside of the internet, I doubt if I would've had the time to set apart and learn how to carry out cryptographic transactions. Hive, especially the Leofinance community, made it easy for me. I was mandated to learn crypto by simply doing what I love, which is writing.
Even though I've always been in love with writing, having a platform that gives an audience to my body of work motivated me to write more and, as a result, become better, a skill that has set me apart in many organisations.
Also, I strongly believe in blockchain. I believe that it's the future of the web and finance. Staying on Hive, a blockchain-powered platform, has kept me abreast of developments in the blockchain circle.
Some months ago, I resumed posting on Hive. But I have mostly been in the Ink Well community, at least once a week. I think writing to motivate or give my opinion on life issues is my greatest strength. I always have what to say about anything I understand. But lately, I have been telling creative nonfiction stories in Inkwell.
There's something about newness. There's a new motivation and excitement that comes with it. If we can approach every moment and task that comes our way with a new drive, we'll hardly become demotivated. One of the reasons I stopped being active here is because the new excitement it brought waned.
Now that I have discovered a new community and an interesting frontend, it might just be the beginning of my active days on the platform again.
This is me, welcoming myself to Waivio.
Who cares to show me around?
