Despite choosing the brighter side of life, it is inevitable to reflect that there are days when I feel buried in the dark when the luminous Moon is shining brightly in an inch of life.
Sometimes life becomes a battleground with only myself trying to rise when I have stumbled down, but I am staying resilient because of the blank space that becomes my rock of hope.
Yes, that was hard. But I was able to carry myself alone. I have been battling all the challenges and struggles, but I am not losing hope.
I have been fighting the storms of life. I have been breathing for a rumble of thunder and lightning that struck my life lately.
I am not losing hope, for I always have a blank space that is my rock of hope. I firmly believe that despite the shakes of life, there is still the brightest light at the end of the tunnel, and I am very hopeful.
How could I say that I am okay when I was not okay yesterday? I wanted to express all my thoughts, but I chose to live in private. I felt safe listening to myself with the loudest cry and scream as I seek resolutions to resolve everything.
I have myself right now with a dream of fighting my battles gloriously. But still, here I am, trying to carry myself alone with so much strength despite my sorrows and despair at my weakest. Perhaps the storms of life made me strong.
Despite a challenging situation embracing my life now, I am not giving up. And I would always stay strong, come what may.
All is well. I needed some time to breathe independently, so I chose to be quiet for some time, but I could not hide my feelings and emotions.
Time flies so fast, and I am now staying here in Hive for almost half a year although I have been inactive for some times.
The incredible ecosystem is my sanctuary like an inch of paradise with the hopeful clouds in a fair sky surrounded by shining silver linings.
And that the fantastic Hive ecosystem has been my home. It had become a peaceful dwelling place for the past five months when I started to become active in the Hive blockchain.
Once upon a time, I was active on other social media. Still, when I found Hive, I was thrilled and excited to taste the goodness of Web 3.0 while being a natural person and not the perfection I have seen on other social media.
From a greater perspective, social media has created a louder impact concerning spreading information, creating quality content, expressing personal opinions, conversing with connections, sharing ideas, and making web content worldwide.
And then, one day, I realized that some social media reflect a place full of illusions. People edit and exaggerate what they post on the internet, making it seems like their life is glistening. The sad part about this is that many choose to believe everything they see there and get intoxicated by this illusion.
Partly some of the reasons I control myself on staying so much on other social media is because the more we see others' perfect lifestyle, the less we see ourselves. It can be toxic to our mindset, and that is one of the reasons I try to stay on this platform more, as this is more healthy, friendly, entertaining, and educational. If not all, most of the things displayed on other social media were presented by many as perfect innovations, yet in reality, perfection is simply an illusion.
I have been in so many situations, like feeling the toxicity of life, but I stayed quiet even though it was breaking me personally. I have been trying to understand people who brought me pain. I have some complex situations that I do not know why I have to experience, and there I understand why we cannot please any person.
The crazy world of perfection does not even exist. I am beginning to make sense of and stay calm while getting involved in an overwhelming virtual world, specifically on social media, each day. And all I want is to experience the reality of the world and not the deception.
While there is perfection, there will always be imperfection that would probably dominate above all in a perfectly imperfect world. And that I am never envious of the model that does not exist in the real world.
Even amid the seemingly flawless social media, more beauty of an inch of life still exists naturally. Maybe these are just wild illusions and lies since nothing is that flawless and slightly imperfectly flawless.
Consequently, other social media is but not on Hive. Despite the distance, I always find harmonious relationships with my distant friends in the blockchain, even if I do not know each one personally. Still, I felt happy engaging with everyone while writing my emotions freely.
I want to fear less and be fearless like the tough weeds.
I just like to live with less fears as the tough weeds standing confidently under the radiant Moon.
And now, even if I feel like being buried in the dark, I want to fear less and be fearless just like the weeds standing confidently under the radiant Moon.
It does not matter how far I have gone drowning myself in tears, for what greatly matters is the ability to handle feelings and emotions.
After all, I have a blank space that is my rock of hope, Hive as my sanctuary in the virtual world, distant friends as my inspiration, and a whale of time to keep going despite the illusion of perfection.
Perhaps I just let myself be buried and gain so much power in the dark to have a great passion for standing, walking, and moving forward with an inch of life.
