I made my first post on the Hive Block chain on the the 1st of August. For a first timer, I was not expecting as much interactions with my post as I got to see. The likes and really beautiful and encouraging comments warmed my heart and this is me saying thank you all so much.
to be specific, I want to first of all thank @blacktarri for introducing me to Hive. You did not just introduce me and leave me to chart the waters myself, instead, you held my hand and walked me through the process of registration and posting. You explained to me the once alien concepts, such as communities, reputation and cross-posting. I am grateful to you.
@hazmat came through with a warm welcome and reposted the post, which attracted more likes. Thank you for that support.
@brittandjosie made me feel welcome to the blockchain, letting me know that I am not alone. Yes, the beginning may be a little challenging, but I am happy I have this support from you and fellow Hivers. It may not be a walk in the park, after all, but I know every challenge will just be one more experience and lesson.
@lovesniper, it pleases me that you find my name unique. I see that @chillwithshanna reached out to me from the @ocd community, which made me feel accepted. I am confident that I can comfortably fit in the community, now I know I am welcome to post and interact with other posts, as well.
@jamerussell, I am grateful to you for taking the time out to enumerate helpful newbie tips for me. Seeing that this is my first time, these suggestions are very helpful and will definitely guide me away from mistakes I may regret. Thank you, also, for promoting my post and boosting the interaction with it.
@deraaa, introducing me to the Hive Naija community is really nice. Having to settle in a community with my own people and making, as well as reading relatable posts is something I look forward to. I am delighted that you found this post interesting. I hope to produce better and more interesting reads. Thank you for the post promotion and interaction.
@merit.ahama, I think your name is beautiful, as well. I have not met more than two people with same name. Thank you for your kind encouraging comment. I hope to read many posts from you. @crrdlx, with the way you and other Hivers have extended your warm hand of welcome, I believe I will fit right in.
@hivebuzz, I am happy to receive my first badge, and I will own it proudly. Thank you for the recognition. To every other person who engaged in this post through likes and by just reading through, I see you and I feel seen. Thank you for that.
Thank you, everyone, for your immense support and words of encouragement. Thank you because now I know I am not walking this blogging path alone.
