Hello, everyone.
I welcome you to my blog. As individuals, we all have stuff we never knew a day would come, and we would find ourselves doing these things, stuff we avoided with every fiber in us because we never knew we could do it or were scared of the end result if we eventually did it. Sometimes we hinder ourselves and hide our potential whenever we are in situations like that. This is why motivational speakers would always say, Do it, and if you are scared, then do it scared.

The one thing that, to date, baffles me is how I was able to pull it off is writing. I never for once thought a day would come where I would put words together in writing and it'd make sense. When my onboarder first told me about the hive platform, I was so eager to join and was putting him under so much pressure to get my registration started, especially when I heard the platform pays, but everything changed the moment he told me the hive platform has to do with writing. Now it was him that was on my neck to come and register because I lost the zeal.
Hearing that the platform had to do with writing killed my morale and zeal to join it; my onboarder became a motivational speaker by force. He has to keep telling me how the platform is not all about writing; I can actually share photos and still earn since the earning part of the platform was my major motivation. After so much pressure from my onboarder, I finally agreed to let him onboard me. He guided me about how to go about my introduction post, and after my introduction post, I vanished 😂. I did not make another post for quite some time before I returned to the platform.
I returned to the platform but was still finding it difficult to know how to go about creating and writing content. Funny, how to even make a post of 300 words was a very big problem. I went through my post when I first started my hive and writing journey, and I could make some posts with a word count of 200 words, and remembering how much stress and brainstorming I had to do to get the word count of that post to 200 leaves me laughing. Imagine using two days to come up with a post with a 200-word count. That is how difficult it was for me at first, but I joined Hive and stayed consistent, and the whole story changed.
Today, I write every day with a word count of at least 500, and I do it without so much pressure and without undergoing plenty of stress. The same writing I feared so much has now become a part of my everyday life, and if a day passes by and I don't write, I feel like something is missing. If someone ever told me that a day would come where I would find writing a bit easy, I would have argued with whoever it was, but today the story is a different story. Sometimes you don't have to hold back because you feel you cannot do it, sometimes you just give it a shot, and the end result will leave you feeling really proud of yourself.
Thanks for reading my post.
