Celebrating My First Hive Birthday and Reflections on a Year in the Blockchain

It's my first ever hive birthday and Can't express my feeling in words when I receive this notification today from Hivebuzz.

A Year full of amazing Moments, Emotions, friends, learning, Growth, and Blockchain Adventures I'll remember for the rest of my life.

16th May, 2022 is the date when my journey started on the hive Blockchain and it's true how fast the time flies, it's been year already and i still remember each and every moment like it happened yesterday.

Starting with the onboarding moment "I was aware of hive but never knew how things work and can join it, then one-day I asked one of my friend @pvmihalache to tell me some general things about hive and ended up joining it.

My first impressions when i joined Hive was like still confused how things work, or where I'm like everything is so different and was quite complicated at first but then I found one friend on hive I knew who can teach me in my own native language; she's @ayesha-malik who answered all my newbie questions and introduced me to hive Pakistan discord where I started getting things.

But still I decided to give one whole month just into learning and observing hive. Well after a month, I realized while clicking on publish my intro post "I had no HP, so no resource credit to post".

I got it from the site (can't remember name ugh) by putting username in the bar and got enough temporary credit to publish it.

That's how I finally joined Hive and the begining of this wonderful journey.

Over the time, I started exploring more and more communities the very first one is hive learners where I got myself verified with KYC-ed and than found a place or community on discord the terminals - discord is like hub or treasure of all information one is looking about hive.

So welcoming and Amazing people who helped me throughout my hive journey with my queries and supportive, encouraging people. Hat's off and respect to kitty, brittandjosie, wes, Pravesh and the whole staff.

Than I discover dreemport where I found a lost friend @kenechukwu97 and good thing he still remembered me even after an year of being not in contact (some internet homies are way better) and in dreemport I made some new frens and meet new characters on hive, dreemie, mypathtofire, Sam and Melinda, beeber and more lovely people.

I still remember at that time dreemport X Friday market was up already for whole month and later that when they and Ecency had joined together for contest this is how I found Ecency for the first time.

Where I found some amazing friends and personalities, Ecency discord was so fun for me and that's when & where I started making memes.

I Joined the first HPUD two months after been on hive and until now haven't missed a single HPUD though that was first time trying memes based on HPUD and later published more different memes In each event and kept on making tons of hive and it's Dapp or products related memes more like discovery of my niche cuz I always liked creating memes.

Than I found Leofinance when it was just limited to long term blogs and finance or crypto related stuff is one thing I'm following since 2021. So, I started reading some nice content, giving my opinion or the way I see what's written by author and whenever I was getting reply it was like one of encouraging moment of my journey especially from those who was inspiring one's.

In this whole journey from very beginning till date one guy I can't forget to mention is Trumpman the guy who always like always supported me like don't have enough words to thank him.

Honestly everytime I feels like oh, I spent 3,4 hrs into writing this post and whole day engaging with others but it's like gonna get ignored once again, another day by ocd, appreciater (ain't or never complained, maybe I was never worthy) and the way throughout my whole journey his support was everything for me.

I got comfortable enough in Leofinance made some frens and meet more lovely characters and personalities on hive and than started spending most of time there with my first ever LPUD and memes edition later, Leothreads arrived and that's where I got myself engaged, that way I got more understanding about some frens through interactions and now Leothreads is becoming like a hub of engagements. So, it feels like home to me.

The Stats of my Hive Account

After one Year the stats of my hive account is pretty much Good.

Starting with the Growth of my HP
Currently I've total of 1,566.655 HP meanwhile 1,600 is the Goal.

While my total Author rewards until now is 2,263Hive. So, the whole year I only spent 600 Hive to bare my personal expenses and cover family needs that's 600 hive because I do part time job with studies and want to build a good portfolio for long term so never had power down any hp.

Amount of Engagements and posts I've made on Hive
The total amount of comments are 9,114. Ah, wish it would've 10,000 anyways I've always tried to make quality engagements some are like whole posts and than general ones.

It's good enough and till next year I'm hopefully going to 3x it.

And the total amount of my posts are 248 in 365 days which is good I think.
