Lately, I’ve been reflecting a lot about where I am, how far I’ve come, and the people and platforms that have played a role in shaping my journey. Life hasn’t always been smooth, and even now, I’m still working my way through struggles. But in the middle of it all, I feel like this is the perfect moment to pause and express genuine gratitude.
1. Gratitude to Hive and the Reason I Chose It
First and foremost, I want to say thank you to Hive. It’s not just another platform to me it became something I could lean on when everything else seemed uncertain. I’ve been chasing a dream for a long time not just the dream of money, but of meaning. Of being someone, of not ending up like just another poor man with a forgotten story.
Hive gave me something I never really had before a sense of purpose in the digital world. A place where I could write, express myself, and slowly see value being returned for effort. That means everything.
I still remember how I got here and that brings me to my next gratitude.
2. Gratitude to the One Who Showed Me the Way
This part means a lot to me. I want to say a heartfelt thank you to @treasuree someone I’ve had the blessing of meeting in person. She’s not just a name online. She’s someone who shared Hive with me in real life, and by doing so, helped plant a seed that’s still growing today.
If not for her, I honestly don’t know if I would have discovered Hive the way I did. And if my parents hadn’t pushed me to pursue school, I might have never crossed paths with her or even been prepared for this journey. Everything connected and I’m truly grateful for that.
3. Gratitude for Life Even in the Struggle
Now, to life itself. I won’t lie I’m still in the struggle. I’m not where I want to be yet. I don’t have all the answers. There are days I wake up with hope and sleep with nothing but exhaustion. There were times I left home and came back empty, or worse after being attacked, robbed, or just drained by everything the streets throw at you.
But guess what? I’m still here.
Still alive. Still trying. Still pushing forward. And for that, I’m thankful.
It might not sound like much to others, but waking up, going out, and returning home in one piece that’s already a blessing in this kind of life. Every breath I take, every day I survive another round of hardship, I consider it grace. I don’t take it for granted.
Gratitude isn’t just about having everything. Sometimes, it’s about recognizing what you still have left and holding on to hope that your story is still being written.
So thank you to Hive.
Thank you to @treasuree.
And thank you to my parents also for pushing me then am only childish then for not knowing the reason.
And thank you, life for keeping me here, still standing.
