I can vividly remember my early days on Hive, when I could stay many days without publishing any content. You know, when you find a new skill, it's always difficult at the beginning, and this was my case in the blockchain until I stumbled upon the Hive Learners community, and within a short time, the weekly featured edition contests were introduced. It will interest you to know that I have been benefiting from the HL weekly contest right from the very day it was initiated till date, and I doubt if I can express my experiences so far through writing.
However, it's been a great journey since 100 weeks ago, connecting with others through their blogs as they share their opinions and life experiences about a given topic, including their creative sides. It's been amazing how we learn from each other and keep growing gradually. Another interesting part of the weekly contest is that we usually have the opportunity to talk about the topics in our Saturday hangout via HL Discord servers, and trust me, learning more from others has been inevitable.
Today, we are celebrating this great milestone in the community. 100 weeks of consistency by the HL team. 100 weeks of supporting lots of hivers and helping them to grow in the chain. 100 weeks of nurturing great writers. 100 weeks of helping fresh authors discover their potential through writing. 100 weeks with lots of new advancements, updates, and progress in the community.
Indeed, I am privileged to be part of the Hive Learners community, and without further ado, I will share with you all the blog posts I made that connected to me on an emotional level, the toughest topic and the easiest topic I have written so far in the community.
Most of the featured edition contests in this community always revolve around our life experiences, including our views about a subject. For me, one thing about writing about myself, my personality, and how I handle a particular problem is that once written and published for the public to see, it makes me more conscious of the way I live my life. I see it as an open chapter of a part of my life, and the discipline to remain who I said I was unconsciously will be in me. This brought me to tell you about that post that connected me emotionally. It was a topic on a habit you wish to stop, and I wrote on impatience. I am sorry; the network couldn't allow me to load this particular blog, so I don't have the link yet, but I will do well to add the link when I succeed in fetching it.
The engagement I received on the impatient post was more than emotional. I began to see more reasons why I should work on my impatient habit. Whenever I want to act like I want this now and right now, I remember the impatient post and the comments from other members. It calms my nerves, and I will see myself exercising patience and allowing things to unfold naturally without pressure or rushing.
One of the toughest topics I wrote about was IF I WERE TO BE REBORN. I had no idea how to go about the topic. Reincarnation isn't something I know much about, but then I believed that it was an opportunity for me to learn something new. I didn't pass the topic like De jevu topic, haha, but I rather stretched myself further by reaching out to my grandmother for her experience about reincarnation. I didn't limit my knowledge to my grandmother alone, but to my friends too on Discord, where we discussed more about the topic, and I was even given a video related to the topic to watch. All these were the steps I took before I was able to handle the topic. However, I am glad that I learned from the topic, of which I had almost zero knowledge.
Finally, one of the easiest posts I have written in this community is One month of total black out- my worst experience. It was quite easy to talk about my experience with total blackout and how it affects me as a content creator. Most Nigerians like me shared their slices of experience on this subject as well, and it was nice reading to know how everyone copes with the electricity challenges in our respective countries.
So far, so good. The past 100 weeks of participating in the featured edition contest have been a great journey, with decent growth, added knowledge, and connecting more with others through their participation in the contest. The memories are worth celebrating; the 100 weeks actually mean that the community has blessed its members with 300 topics to write about as we were always given three topics weekly. I can tell you that many people suffering from writer's block have found answers through this community.
It can get better_.
I sincerely appreciate your precious time on my blog🤗.
This post is in response to the #hivelearners community contest on the the topic titled 100 Weeks Of Memories.
