"Get a life!"
I stumbled upon this phrase some time ago on Pinterest and just yesterday the same word flashed through my mind. This word could inspire someone to live in the moment and not be worked up with the pressures of life, redefining what genuinely matters to them and the only thing one needs right now is a comforting and soothing word just like that.
When juggling the demands of content creation, it is easy to hear something like, "Forget about blogging and get a life", especially on platforms like Hive. But if you've been here long enough like myself, you know Hive isn't just a blogging site; it's a big and whole ecosystem, a vast place with lots of communities, and for many, it's an opportunity for growth and self-discovery.
What could that statement mean for someone living on Hive? Let's break it down!
There is no doubt that content creation can be intense; sometimes we get so entangled in the web of creating the perfect or what we call the "unique" posts, monitoring upvotes and calculating earnings that we forget the reason we're here.
But being involved on Hive isn't about being obsessed over rewards or stats; it's the meaningful connections that matter, the shared experiences and joining the right community where we get support finding our unique voices.
One beautiful thing about Hive is allowing content creators to find value in what they love doing without being controlled by it. It's about quality engagement and building authentic relationships. Other platforms are transactional in nature but Hive is different as it fosters a community to vibe with and encourages bloggers to go beyond just posting.
With features like comments, communities and decentralized engagement, Hive challenges us to get life through our interactions with others by sharing insights and identifying new perspectives. By doing this, we view blogging, not for our personal gain but about collective growth.
So, when someone like this author tells you to get a life, I do not mean you should leave Hive. Instead, it's about going deeper in the way we interact with the platform. Take breaks, engage with others' content, get involved in communities and support fellow creators. The goal isn't just to publish content, it's to actually live in the ecosystem, grow alongside others and make an impact that moves beyond your content (posts).
"Get a life" on Hive means be more connected with others' journey, and learn from them as you give your story the chance to evolve in the process. Hive has created that opportunity for us to express ourselves in diverse ways and develop our skills while finding balance, passion, and purpose in a vibrant digital space.
Hive is about creating a life in the online space; one that complements the one we live offline which leads to a blend of expression, freedom and real connection. So don't quit blogging on Hive. Instead, turn it into a place where you can thrive, grow and fully live your life both in the online and offline world without contradiction. That's where real value lies.
Thanks for your time reading. Looking forward to your interaction.
