I will be four years old on this blockchain, some time in February, 2022, I guess on the 8th of that month, but I haven't become a renowned content creator in here and there's no one to be blamed about that... I'm fine with flying under the radar.
I am not a magnet for whales, that's for sure, and can't blame anyone for that either, although I do have some whales who constantly upvote me(btw, thank you dear splashy ones for your juicy upvotes), but today I've got myself my first upvote from @themarkymark and his alt account, @buildawhale.
Marky is one of the OGs around here and although I know this account for a few years now, I have probably only once or twice interacted with him through comments. Today I've got that upvote from him on this post and it sure was a surprise.
Even after almost four years as an active content creator on Hive it still feels overwhelming when you get a nice upvote from a whale, especially someone who's managed to make a name on this blockchain. I don't know if it was a random one or he just liked my post, but yeah, after almost four years of putting content out on the chain I got that Marky and buildawhale upvote.
Some things do take time and whoever feels like exhausted of interacting with the chain after a year or so, try and do that for four years... You will get at a point where you will feel empty when you haven't been active for a day.
I know that sometimes when I'm busy for an entire day and only manage to read a couple of posts and put out some lousy content I feel like I'm missing something. Living off of this thing(content creation), I do miss the rewards as well, but believe me, I've been as active as I currently am even when HIVE was $0.10, so it's not entirely about earning crypto(HIVE).
Hive, for the past four years has successfully replaced facebook and instagram for me, it has managed to become a form of therapy after managing to heal myself from depression and panic attacks and for over one year it's become my only source of income. So, what's such a big deal that some whale upvoted my content today?
It's a confirmation, especially knowing that this guy doesn't curate crap and it is a proof that consistency = constant improvement. Every freaking day on Hive is a new journey. I never know what I'm gonna to blog about the next day, I don't have an itinerary, but I try and find time throughout the day for digesting content as well, aside from creating, and Hive has for sure become and integrating part of my life.
It's almost organic...
Thanks for attention,
Adrian
