I've been meaning to write this for a while, so here it goes:
Sorry for being salty/negative too frequently in the past months/past year.
Looking back, I can see how my stress level & workaholicism directly affected my behaviour and temperament. I'm normally a very optimistic & empathic person, but being so engaged and entangled within this project and its future, I've been taking things more personal than I should have, being far too overprotective of the project and interpreting attacks on Hive to attacks on myself.
I know that's not smart. But it would be even less smart to let the ego take away possibilities.
Reading harsh comments about myself on LEO's discord was brutal and a lot of it seems to be a misunderstanding (No, I haven't been farming rewards or stayed idle. I have been working constantly, I just didn't publically share any of it), but there was at least some truth in there. Especially regarding my perceived negativity.
Now, the last thing Hive needs is for me to be emotional or resentful or let my ego take the best of me.
LeoFinance is a great project and Khal is a very good marketer & leader and I should have been more supportive of it. That doesn't mean I'm going to buy LEO or am salty that I don't have any (because I'm really not). But I do see the value it brings by showing what's possible and being a good role model for communities on Hive.
There are also more people that I treated too harsh (jackmiller & netuoso for example), which I'm also sorry about.
Ultimately, this post is about wanting to do better, because I know I can.
