Sitting here browsing hive and checking on a few small wallets after what feels like far too long. Not that I've disappeared, because I have still been around in the background, but I have definitely not been giving hive my full attention over the past few weeks for a bunch of different reasons.
There have been weddings, funerals, sick kids, sick me, matches won and lost, and all of that on top of the usual day-to-day life that keeps ticking along whether we like it or not. None of it is unusual on its own, but when it all seems to land in the same stretch of time it can feel relentless. It's honestly hurting my head just thinking about how busy the last six weeks have been.
Because of that, hive and crypto in general has had to take a back seat to everything else going on. That is just the reality sometimes. As much as we might want to stay on top of every little thing, there are only so many hours in the day and only so much mental energy to go around.
It is a shame in one way, but at the same time crypto has been pretty flat all year, so it doesn't really feel like I have missed some huge moment by stepping away for a while. If anything, it has probably been a decent time to reduce the noise and focus on real life without feeling like I'm constantly looking over my shoulder at charts and notifications.
I do miss writing and posting though. That part of it always stays with me, even when I am not actively doing it. There just can't be time for everything we would like to do, and that becomes even more obvious when summer arrives, the days get longer, and there are more chances to get out, see people, and end up with even more on the calendar than expected.
At this point I feel like I just need a few quiet days to reset, get back on track, and organise myself properly. That sort of breathing room helps more than people realise. When you get hit with so much, so fast, it can be hard to catch your breath, let alone think clearly about what comes next.
So this post is not really designed to set the world alight. It is mostly just me checking back in with one of my favourite activities and getting my fingers back on the keys again. Even calling it a post is probably being generous to what I have written so far, but that is fine. The important thing is getting back into the game and reminding myself how good it feels to create something again, even if it's only a small start.
Hopefully my next attempt will bring a bit more color to recent events and a little more structure to my thoughts as I get my head back into a writing mentality.
