How do I enjoy Hive?

It has been months of thinking if I will dive in the Hive platform. A lot of users there have been telling me that it is complicated. Indeed! I wouldn't actually get it if I didn't join the Onboarding Orientation last July 9 at Google Meet and Discord. I submitted my Introductory Post last month but since I couldn't understand how the platform works, I just leave it there. I wasn't active there since then, but not until the onboarding orientation. It has been 5 days now since I decided to be active there again. I also have already posted 5 articles which I received a lot of feedbacks. Though it didn't receive a lot of Hive Tokens, I understand since I'm still just a newbie. I still have to build my network and build my name on the platform, so the curators could trust me. This morning, I saw @TengoLoTodo there and we have some interactions. Then, he asked me, ***"How are you enjoying Hive?"***, in the comment section of my article, **"On A Bus For Christmas."** https://peakd.com/hive-188409/@ayane-chan/on-a-bus-for-christmas How Do I Enjoy Hive? As much as I can recall the feeling everytime, I rejoiced seeing a lot of upvotes and good feedbacks on my article. One article of mine that made me jump in joy seeing those feedbacks is my article, **"The Ink Well Prompt #73: A Blessed Heart"**. https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@ayane-chan/the-ink-well-prompt-73-the-blessed-heart

Seeing that **541 upvotes** and **21 comments**, made me smile non-stop. I couldn't count how many times I have thank God also, since every time I received an upvote or feedbacks, I thanked Him. I never expected that my story could get a lot of attention. Honestly, I wrote it at the last minute since it was the last day of the prompt. Then, my sourcing of the picture is wrong that I have to fix it many times. It also surprised me to see 2 admins of the Ink Well Community commenting on my story and encouraging me to write again in the next prompt. There's more to that, not only getting noticed by Admins. Another prompt has released for this week, as usual they will mention authors who stood out, the winner and all the participants. It saddens me when I haven't seen my name mentioned in the participants. I just thought it was maybe because I posted it late. However, a little while later, I received a comment and a mention from the Admin. My story is featured in **The Ink Well Highlights Magazine #62**.

I can't explain how I feel while seeing that. My gaze stucked on the article and mouth was pasted open for a few minutes, without any word or sound coming from it. I worry why I'm not mentioned in the participants but it turns out that I will belong on the special mentions. I never expect that a newbie like me can achieve this much. Another thing that gave me joy is this one comment in my new article earlier, which my entry for this week's prompt of Ink Well Community. It's in my article **"A Lost Soul In The Fire"**. https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@ayane-chan/a-lost-soul-in-the-fire

Seeing this kind of comment in my article, is a blessing for a newbie like me. A good feedback like that, with an upvote and free promotion is ecstatic. I want to say a lot of thanks to this person but commenting is still limited for I don't have much resource credits. *Haha*, I'm still poor in HP. I have a lot of shocks this week and this added more to it.

I'm also mention in **Curangel**. I'll just prepare myself to experience a lot of shocking mentions and feedbacks in the next days. My grateful heart can't contain it all. Oh, my! I'm crying. *Charr*, haha. I have a lot of things to improve but seeing those, I'm more motivated to do my best. Back then, I'm not interested to write blogs in Hive since their system is complicated but now, I'd be lying if I say that I'm not loving it. Thanks a lot to my mentors and all the members of **Hive PH**. If not for all of you, I wouldn't have learned how fun to write there. Maybe, the rules there are a lot more strict than here in read.cash but if you got the gist of it, it doesn't felt difficult to follow anymore. More achievements for us. Thanks for reading!
