I have been discouraged many times, and there was a time when I was considering and planning to stop posting, though there was not much reason. Just that I felt that I was not feeling seen enough. And I am sure a lot of people also have been on this table with me.
I know when I returned to Hive, I took my time to sit and write something very honest and creative that it took me time to admit it to myself, but after posting. It got no attention. No comment, no reshare. It was just there, like it was hidden with a passcode. At first, after a few days, I said to myself that all is well and it doesn't really matter. But to be honest, it does matter what. And as time went on, it started hitting me hard, more than I ever expected.
So one evening, I was curious, and I decided to go through some of my past posts. Then I saw a post like that, which I read through, and I never remembered writing something so creative like that because in that post, I was very honest and open, which made me confused.
Reading that post changed some things and how I view a lot of things here. And in all honesty, I am not here due to a lot of reasons everyone usually mentions. Though we have a lot of communities here, yes, that matters. And it is not also all about the rewards because some weeks and days can be so low. And it is not even just the freedom or self-growth.
For me, it's something more important and quieter, because when I look back and check a lot of things I have done and accomplished here. I have no regrets because I have shared a lot of things here, both personal and things I have seen and experienced, and nobody has ever judged me for that, unlike other platforms. No pressure to impress anyone here and no burdens of expectations. Just me trying to make myself and my writing better.
Where I come from, there is no space to always speak freely and express my mind publicly without getting sanctioned. But here, nothing like that. I can express my mind and be unsure about some things without someone trying to castigate me immediately. And to me, I will say that is the space I need because it's so rare. So even when I am not getting the attention I require, I will still stay. Because when I look at some of the things I have written here, I have been trying to figure a lot of things out slowly.
