exists in its own dimension,
and time is but a strand
of worlds in which we lace?
and effect
lies an amazing place
of coincidence and
it’s so easy to be
driven to distraction
by the stories it speaks.
the room you know it,
the undeniable essence of it
is thrust deeply into your heart.
of who it is you really are,
presenting you with
a set of eyes
to connect with,
a brief moment of
sacred reconciliation.
beauty is rarely
long with us,
so we must
embrace imperfection,
learn to trust it,
before we rust
into oblivion.
we must simply
stop running.
There is more
to life than the hustle.
isn’t built upon
making memories
we think will become
some gripping memoir
but merely embracing
each moment and fully
accepting it as our own.
My Thoughts on 8 Years of Blogging on Hive
Every year around this time I think about how I consider July 5th as my true Independence Day. This is the date back in 2016 when I was sitting on my couch in our tiny apartment and customer support unlocked my account (I was having technical issues) and I began blogging.
It only took a few weeks for it to completely change my life. I had a backlog of over twenty years of, mostly, unpublished writing. For the first time in my life all the stars aligned and the previous decades of struggles made perfect sense.
Hive is a constantly evolving thing and it's a different experience for everyone. Like life, you get out of it what you put into it. It opens doors, it can change lives, it serves as a network of support, and allows us to see the world through all kinds of different lenses.
Through the past eight years Hive has been all those things for me. Many of you are like friends, some of you are like family. Damn, we've been through a lot together, haven't we? Writing here on this platform has been the one constant in my life for nearly a decade.
This blog has been the best incubator for my muse imaginable. I intend on keeping this up as long as it's still fun, as long as people are still interested, as long as I have an idea and feel that burning desire to open the laptop to share it with you all. I hope this continues for a long time to come because I see the great value in it despite what the price of the Hive tokens are. There aren't very many of us originals left but I appreciate those consistently breathing new life into this platform.
Thank you, Hive family, for all the support and love you've shared over the years. It truly does mean the world to me.
Enjoy the day. Thank you for reading!
