I am honestly in being held in awe, glaring at my mobile device and suddenly seeing so many notifications at the early hours of the morning.
In just 16 hours of posting my introduction here on Hive, I have earned my first HiveBuzz badge for 10+ upvotes, give a 23+ upvotes.
I don’t know how to fully explain this feeling, but I’ll try:
For years, I poured myself out on platforms like Instagram and Twitter, sharing poetry, personal stories, reflections, and even medically inspired narratives. I chased consistency, studied algorithms, followed trends, tried reels and hashtags. All to build a presence.
But often, it felt like I was shouting into a void, like I was in a space so filled with so many eyes, yet I felt so insignificantly heard, blindly seen.
I didn’t have connections. I didn’t know influencers. I wasn’t viral-worthy. I was just me, with my truth and my voice. Raw, unfiltered, and sometimes too real for the polished world of social media.
And then sometimes it makes me want to ask the question whether or not I am worth being heard, whether the words I write or speak in front of my camera are truly felt.
There's a way the social media poses questions at the integrity of what you aren't only good at but what you love doing.
But here on Hive, something shifted.
No one knew me. I didn’t come with followers. I just came with my words and my passion, and you all showed up. You read. You voted. You engaged.
And for the first time I felt so beautifully seen on a space outside the physical. In 16hours, you proved to me that it’s not about popularity here. It’s about authenticity.
Hive feels like the home I've been searching for. A space where the art of expression don't dissappear but are truly seen, appreciated and even rewarded.
And that you have shown me that effort matters more than clout. Where someone like me, a passionate young creative and medical student, can finally breathe and be seen.
The blockchain is not just technology. It's a revolution of voices. And Hive? Hive is the heartbeat.
To every person who upvoted, commented, or simply took the time to read my post, thank you. You didn’t just support a post.
You validated a journey.
And to anyone wondering if this space is for them. If you have ever felt unseen, Hive might just be your audience, your stage, the light over your head, and your megaphone.
And all you just have to do is speak.
