I had a rough Saturday and Liverpool losing to Brighton added only salt to my injury. The day started great as I choose to roll with nature but it didn't end how I expected, life is indeed unpredictable but sometimes we don't expect some things to come up unexpectedly.

I couldn't get myself to sleep at night and I wasn't in the mood for a movie or music so I decided to run a check through my Hive account.

A familiar question struck my mind again and I felt it would be good to discuss this with members of the platform instead of my just bottling it up as usual.

The platform has become part of me just like many people can't go a day without engaging, I believe we all derive a unique kind of happiness from interacting with one another.

It's been over a year of engaging on Hive and the truth is that there are times I still doubt if I am making any sense with my engagement or contribution to the growth of the platform.

It would be a lie for me to say I don't have the interest of the platform in my heart, and I have shown this by promoting Hive, keeping to the platform rules, engaging and supporting members of the platform.

Despite thinking that I am giving my best to make quality content and engage properly, there are times I can't help myself but pause and ask myself if I am making any sense on the platform.

I am not a quick to talk kind of person, I barely get into physical conversation with people except when necessary. I am cautious of things I pour out to avoid spitting rubbish but when it has to do with my engagement online, I am a whole different person. I might be poor with discord engagement but on Hive, I always want to pour out what I think or feel about others' content. 

I enjoy reading many writers' content and I feel eager to say one or two things in the comment box.

I read a story from Dreemsteem recently and I was very impressed,  there are lots of writers on the platform that makes me giggle and think at the same time when reading their content. They make me wonder if I am actually doing things right because the level of creativity is just too much.

This isn't about not believing in myself, I do but there are times when you believe you are doing pretty well but it's the other way around. You might not see it but the people around will definitely see and only a few will want to talk to you about it if you have a physical relationship with them. Online relationship is different, a lot of people choose to overlook your mistakes because they don't see the need to talk to you about them.

I have a few regulars on my blog and if they get to see this, I would love them to share their honest opinion about me. I will like to know the things I am doing wrong and how well I can improve my content creation.

I wasn't born a writer but I had a passion for it. I remembered how Uptrennd University, one of @dreemsteem initiatives helped me improve a lot a few years ago. It will interest you to know that almost everything I am doing regarding content creation today is part of the knowledge I acquired from there and I can't thank her and many that were part of the project enough.

I do lots of self-evaluation, my growth might be slow but it's coming gradually. It doesn't have to be just about my earnings, it includes my content and my relationship with people on the platform.

Things are changing, there are lots of improvements happening everywhere and blogging is not exempted. A relevant way of doing things yesterday might become less relevant today and with the help of numerous amazing people on the platform, I believe you can help me discover my shortcomings as a writer and also help me improve.
