Before We Close the Book
The clock is ticking. A few hours from now, we will embrace a new year; the year 2022.
Who's excited? Well, count me in. I'm so excited for another year as it feels like a fresh start. Whenever a new year comes, I could always feel the smell of hope and prosperity that's roaming around the surroundings. I could feel happiness and peace in the events that are about to come.
Not to mention, before we will finally close the year 2021, let me tell you these words which come from my heart. Before this year ends, I would like to express the feeling I have from within.
To the Noise and Read Platform and the People Behind them
To be honest, I never expected that I will be able to be part of this community. I never thought that I will be on these two platforms sharing my insights about anything that popped out of my mind. I never thought that I'll be able to spend my time on these platforms.
Looking back, I was just an ordinary woman soaking myself with my social media accounts. I was not using my mind that much as I was only busy scrolling and reading memes. Yes, I had a good laugh whenever I spent time on those platforms, but I can't deny the fact that my mind seems a bit tarnished for not being used that much. Needless to say, I used to have a love for writing, maybe around the year 2016-2018, but the moment I started working, I never got the chance to get motivated to write.
Then November 2021 came, this has been my biggest plot twist. I joined the Noise platform and was motivated to write again. I admit, thinking of what to write on my first post was harder than I thought. However, as time went by, I'm just glad that I was able to light up the candle that once burning in my heart. I'm glad that little by little, it started to spark. I know I have a long way to learn the nitty-gritty on how to be a good writer, but being able to join these two platforms, Noise and Read, is my starting point towards being a good one.
With that, to the people behind the Noise and Read platform, know that I will always be grateful for all of you that you were able to make such great platforms. A platform wherein we will not only express our thoughts, but we will be able to interact with other people as well. We will be able to interact with individuals with so much glee as we cannot feel any toxicity around the platforms. It feels like a cozy place to stay at any time.
To My Friends in Noise Platform
When I was still new to the platform, I never thought that I will be able to meet a lot of friends. I never thought that I will be able to meet genuine people on the platform. Just so you know, at first I was afraid to interact with others because they might ignore me. However, as I tried interacting with people, I was astounded that they replied to my comments and even left thoughtful comments in my posts. That's the start of the love I have for Noise.
To be honest, earning BCH was my first drive when I joined, but as the days went by, it's the genuine people that I met around that made me stay. In my two months on the platform, the feeling that I have whenever I'm using it feels so much lighter. It's like a comfortable place that I will go to no matter what mood I'm in. It's like a best friend to me wherein I can vent out what I truly feel.
Moreover, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the people who always show their kindness towards me. From the blessings that you share with me every time, to the thoughtful words you are sharing with me on my posts, and even on the thought that you cherish me as one of your dear friends, means to me a lot. I will never get tired of sharing you my blessings as well. Know that whenever I thought of you all, and whenever I see your names in my notifications, I feel like I belong on the platform because all of you make me feel this way. I may not be able to mention all of you, but I'll always be thankful for your existence. I hope you continue to be a blessing to the people around the platform. Needless to say, let's be hopeful for one BCH or more, I know we can make it soon.
To My Friends in reading Platform
The moment I knew that I can write an article on this Read platform, I tried in hopes that I will be able to hone my writing skill. I know I'm not perfect in terms of writing, but I'll always be grateful for this platform that helps me to learn and unlearn things in writing.
By the way, I would also like to thank my sponsors who believe in me especially my first sponsor @Bloghound , I will never forget the time you sponsored me. To be honest, you became of the fuels why I continue this journey. I was still new back then, but you believe that I can do it. To everyone, thank you for the generosity that you shared with me; your acts of kindness mean to me a lot.
To my other friends as well who are there reading my articles, I'm grateful to all of you as well. Thank you for reading my articles and leaving thoughtful comments. I appreciate every word that you shared every time. If it's not because of all of you, I don't know if I will still have the drive to write.
To everyone who's reading this
This is just a reminder to each one of us. We all know that the challenges in our lives are inevitable. Life will never be always rainbows and butterflies, that's the reality. Despite that, let's keep the faith in the journey that we are in, and no matter how hard it may seem, may we never forget to still radiate positivity towards others.
Now, as we finally close the book of the year 2021, and open another book which is the year 2022, may we continue to have a pure heart that could see the goodness in everyone, and may we embrace the new year with positivity and love.

Just like you when I first joined read.cash , I used to hesitate to comment as I was too shy to do that but then I tried to collect all my strength and finally commented on someone's post and after some minutes she replied too that was when I gained self confidence. This platform is not supporting us financially but also giving us a new family to rely on our worst days. Wishing you a brightest, happiest and successful journey.
