Primer Aniversario de #Hive / First Anniversary of #Hive - (Esp-Eng) - Two initiatives

Greetings Hivers!!!! We are almost at the first year of our Community, and following @theycallmedan's initiative and @traciyork's call via Twitter in which he invites us to answer this question: What does the first anniversary of Hive mean to you, plus @enginewitty's recent initiative, take the opportunity to make a 2 in one and exalt this experience that has been transiting through #Hive.

• A look back at your year at #Hive.

Having this opportunity to look back is very exciting, even though I'm not yet a year into #Hive (I have a little over two months to go) it's been a learning and growing experience that I cherish.

When I opened the account I was very apprehensive, and it took me a couple of months to process how it worked and decide whether to go down this path or flee to the right. I was not convinced about cryptocurrencies and even less about feeding a blog with my personal experiences, which until that moment were totally reserved to my memories.

Fortunately I listened to my instinct that invited me to try what it was all about, and so I did!!!! And continued to carve a path on this platform.

Among the many things that I am grateful for today to #Hive, is to have given me the opportunity to connect with the passion of writing, I had had that desire before but until I registered on the platform I had not done it this way. Every day I am rediscovering myself in different facets through writing.

It has also been a very enriching experience to see how this medium pushes people to grow, I delight in seeing so many talented artists, writers and artisans grow within this Community, sharing stories with others, getting to know other cultures.

Hive is for everything and everyone!!!!!

As these months have passed, I've integrated so much to #Hive that it's already an important part of my life, I'm always thinking about what to write or share and more recently I joined the Discord activities and now I already feel it's permeating even in my bones, hahaha, my family and close friends whisper among themselves to point out that I fell into an "addiction".

• What has being in Hive represented on a more personal level?

Opening myself to share my experiences, making Community, interacting with the other Hivers has been a renewing and healing experience.

Renewing because I feel that I was at a point in my profession that urgently required a change, I was drowning in paperwork and paperwork, nothing inspired me and I found my current job quite routine and tedious.

Being in #Hive awakened again that creative spark and in a way also dreamer, because in many challenges in which I have participated have set my imagination to fly to other unsuspected paths.

It also took me out of my comfort zone because I had to learn a lot of tools to improve and make my publications more attractive, and I am still looking for new ways to do it better and better.

Healing because at that point of personal experience it has allowed me to see my past from another perspective, I have integrated many things and tied many threads that were still loose.

Starting a new activity like this also showed me certain insecurities and fears, exploring them and overcoming them has been eye-opening for me.

• What does the first anniversary of Hive mean to you?

In four words this first Anniversary means to me: Growth, Consolidation, Adventure and Expansion.

• Growth and Consolidation:

That #Hive arrives at its first year is a symbol of growth, it shows that all the efforts made so far have paid off and also that through trial and error opportunities to improve and continue providing solutions and new possibilities have been brewing.

Every day I see new initiatives emerge, more groups, communities, projects are born. The platform is updated, new functionalities are incorporated, more Dapps.

You can see the effort that everyone is adding to make #Hive grow.

I see #Hive as a project that is getting stronger every day, both in its main and secondary layers. Everything points to a consolidated project that will remain in time and I am very excited to be part of it.

• Adventure and expansion:

If these 10 months I've been on #Hive have been filled with so many positive experiences, I imagine the years to come will be loaded with many more adventures, more things to explore and learn, more friendships, new projects.

I can only project in my mind a successful future for #Hive, that's the energy I want to bring with my thoughts.

Where I will be and what I will be doing in a few years at the moment I don't know, but who knows if I end up exploring digital art... it opens up a world of possibilities for me, that's why I see #Hive as an opportunity for Expansion.

Maybe I'll finally learn to write poetry... so many possibilities and opportunities may arise....

What I am sure of is that I would like to stay here to see this Community grow and expand to the moon!!!!

Thank you @theycallmedan, @traciyork and @enginewitty for these very special initiatives, and for being invaluable members of this Community who work tirelessly every day to see it thrive.

See you at the #Hivemeetup.
