The Unanticipated Visitor 💚

What's up dear readers on this platform!

At long last! The random rewarder finally visited my account last night! Indeed, what a blessing from the heavens above! It's like the feeling of euphoria enveloped the totality of my body. Up until today, I still can't contain the happiness that I am feeling. It's as if I want to cling to this feeling forever.

I can't deny the fact that these past few days, I'm thinking when will Rusty take the time to visit my blog entries. It has been almost a month and yet there was no sign of him. I was thinking, was there a problem with my account? My blog entries? Did I do something that makes him not to visit me? To be honest, if he still didn't visit me last night, I would definitely make an article entitled, "where are you now 'cause I'm thinking of you." Sounds familiar? Well, I love that song from Honor Society. Hahaha.

Anyway, going back, I kept on thinking whether he will visit me or not. I even talked the person who invited me to join this platform @Sequoia about my status. Actually, she is one of my acquaintances, my classmate and my thesis group mate.  So we talked about it through chat. She told me that she was also visited by Rusty for almost a month. She told me not to worry because for sure the random rewarder will soon visit me in no time.

And she was right! The random rewarder managed to visit me. It was around 7 in the evening when I checked my notifications on Read.Cash. The funny thing is that I thought that the random rewarder appear on my notifications because he upvoted other blog entries. But upon checking twice, I couldn't help but shout. I just froze for a second like I couldn't begin to believe that Rusty upvoted my blog entries!

Anyway, it didn't come to a point that I cried, I just had teary eyes. Certainly, I was just so blessed how God overwhelmed me with His blessings. Now, I considered November 5 as my luckiest day. It's like I won the lottery. I guess you can all relate with me.

Realizations

For almost a month of longing for Rusty, my patience has been tested. There are certain moments where I asked myself what If I should just give up on this platform? Maybe, I'm not good in this field or maybe this isn't for me in the first place. Nevertheless, as I continue myself being active on this platform, I met several individuals along my odyssey who really made me feel that I'm part of this growing community. Indeed, they always lift my spirit by giving positive feedbacks and thus, they made me feel that my works are worth-noticing. If I didn't wait this long, I wouldn't meet Rusty. I wouldn't meet you guys. It really pays to wait.

There's no denying that joining this platform takes a lot of determination and perseverance. Good thing I never gave up. Good thing I chose to stay despite the struggle and the doubts I've been fighting all along. On one hand, writing has been my not so favorite skill. However, as I exposed myself to this skill, I realized that it's a good way to express your thoughts and emotions. I would say that I'm starting to like writing. Staying for almost a month on this platform I've realized that you will never know what you're capable of doing if you will give up so easily. The more you give up, the more you stay on your comfort zone.
