I started this year comparatively strong!
I've been more active on HIVE in January 2023 than most months of the last year. I also achieved some things outside of HIVE, including going back to the Mosque for prayers. Connecting with friends I haven't messaged in months and being mindful of how much I am on Youtube.
I also finished the foundations of my website ahmadmanga.net and registered the account @ahmadmanganet which I'm going to announce in due time. إن شاء الله
I didn't post every day, but I did spend a lot of care with what I posted in January and December. I joined the Hive Stock Images Community and increased my art skills, especially on the color theory side.
As a storyteller, I posted multiple stories in the Scholar&Scribe community. I took part in two #dreemport Word-of-the-Week challenges and I'm happy about the comments I received on them.
Some of my best posts since then are:

Power Up
Power Up Day:
#HivePUD is a monthly event to encourage people to Power Up their liquid HIVE. The event is managed by @traciyork. You can find all the information and the list of participation rewards in her February post. I noticed that she did some changes to the event's format lately, including combining two of her monthly posts about it into one.
Here's the Hive amount I Powered Up this February:
- Powered Up 10.166 HIVE --> main account @ahmadmanga - (Tx ID)
- Powered Up 10.013 HIVE --> microblogging account @ahmadmangazap - (Tx ID)
I didn't post a HivePUD article in January but I did power up 10 HIVE for each of my accounts to get the @hivebuzz badge.
What's Next?
I plan from this point forward to do more of the same. I did manage to get the 7th place in Hive Engagement League last week, and I want to be more active on Hive so I can be in the Top 10 more often.
I'd like to stop posting anime and game reviews/first impressions and focus on original content as much as possible. (Though I'll still microblog and post about #gaming when I have something interesting to say.)
For now, I wish you all a blessed February and meet you again in another post.
