Paradise isn't Forever, How Past Glory becomes Nostalgia

in #hive-15032918 days ago

I used to believe that whatever is out there on the internet would last like decade and it would get me well settled and there would be nothing to worry about. So this started assumption in the days of the pandemic when I was involved into it for the BCH token.

And at that time the token hoarding and then HODL for the future was something I was planning and doing and getting myself into the motion. But I soon realized that things just are kind of short term and you don't have to stay in one place forever and hope things would change because they don't.

So let's talk about this sort of the event that happens for every one of us.

Take an example, where the BCH based social network were in the hype. They used to give the users the tip in the 100 dollar or so. Some of us used to get like 10 dollar easily during that time with the social network. In case of hive even breaking 1 dollar is a bit tough and comes with a lot of heavy work. But at that time with BCH that was easy.

And those were tough times too. But despite that people used to push the BCH and the tips. And that kind of made many people paralyzed in the paradise. Like we started to expect things were meant to be like this way. And we kind of took that for granted. And we thought this would last us decade. And we made our mind that this would be something we can't fail and fall on.

But as the time went the sponors of those social networks parted ways. And the tips are now as rare as it can get. But overall it started to make an impact and the paradise is now lost. And the things that we have about it are now memories. I can't see the wallet moving anymore. I took out what last remained in the funds. And then the wallet is like grave.

Even with Hive, it was like 0.35 when I was regular and now it is falling to 0.15 at the levels of the TRON. And all we have is hope. So I am going to be extra careful and not end up in the loop of the nostalgia and end up making the bad choices.

A lot of times we make those choices and then we dont know we kind of end up losing more times as we HODL those tokens.

People move on. Even the family moves on. And then paradise eventually gets lost and there remains nothing but the memories and there is no way the nostalgia can make you feel happy forever.

Sometimes your efforts and hopes have to move on.
