(ESP-ENG) Remembering my introduction
Welcome to this new post. Today I’m taking the opportunity to join
’s initiative. They recently created an app to find introductory posts, and of course I couldn’t resist searching for my name, I wanted to see if it really worked, hahaha, and I wasn’t disappointed. I'd like to take this opportunity to invite

This past week, I used it again to invite a coworker to join HIVE. She hasn’t written her introduction yet, but I hope to see her here soon, too. That day, I took the opportunity to read my own introduction again and was surprised by how little I knew back Then that it was going to change my life.
Esta semana que pasó, volví a usarla para invitar a una compañera del trabajo a HIVE, todavía no ha hecho su introducción, pero espero pronto verla por aquí también. Ese día aproveché de ver nuevamente mi introducción y quedé sorprendida por lo poco que sabía en ese momento que me iba a cambiar la vida.
When I started, we were in the middle of the pandemic; I had nothing to do with all that free time, and even my college studies were on hold, waiting for new instructions. I remember being scared, I had so many doubts and worries back then. What if people didn’t like what I wrote? What if I wrote nonsense and nobody upvoted me? So many “what ifs…”, all negative ones that were driving me crazy.
Cuando empecé estábamos en medio de la pandemia, no tenía nada que hacer con tanto tiempo, y hasta la universidad la tenía en espera de nuevas indicaciones. Recuerdo que tenía miedo, tenía muchas dudas y preocupaciones en ese momento. ¿Y si no les gustaba lo que escribía? ¿Y si escribía tonterías y no me votaban? Muchos ¿y si…? Negativos que me tenía vuelta loca.
Then came the positive “what ifs,” which weren’t easy to hold onto. What if people related to me? What if I became an influencer by writing about what I love? What if this helped me improve my life?
Luego vinieron los ¿y si…? Positivos, que no fueron fáciles de mantener. ¿Y si la gente se identificaba conmigo? ¿Y si me volvía influencer por escribir lo que me gusta? ¿Y si esto me permitía mejorar mi vida?
Today, almost 6 years after that presentation, no, I haven’t become famous, nor an influencer; no, I’m not a millionaire from writing here; and no, I didn’t pay for the entire apartment with my HIVE earnings. But yes, people followed me, and still do, because they like what I write; I think, in a way, they can relate to me. And yes, even though I didn’t pay for the apartment, it did help me cover the rent.
Hoy, casi 6 años después de esa presentación, no, no me he vuelto famosa, ni influencer, no, no soy millonaria por escribir aquí, y no, no pagué todo el departamento con mis ganancias de HIVE. Pero, sí, la gente me siguió y me sigue porque le gusta lo que escribo, creo que de cierta forma se pueden identificar conmigo, y sí, aunque no pagué el departamento, si me ayudó a completar para un alquiler.
A lot has changed since that presentation. I no longer make such simple covers; I’ve gotten a little better at using Canva, learned how to edit videos, post in two languages, and use my free time to create content. It wasn’t an easy journey, but I can say it’s worth it.
Mucho ha cambiado desde aquella presentación, ya no hago las portadas tan simples, he aprendido un poco mejor a usar Canva, aprendí a editar vídeos, publicar en dos idiomas y a usar mis ratos libres para crear contenido. No fue un camino fácil, pero puedo decir que vale la pena.
If you’re just starting out on HIVE, take a chance, find your niche, as
says, but don’t limit yourself; keep trying over and over again. It’s frustrating when you don’t see results, but don’t get discouraged. Keep creating, if it’s something you enjoy and truly want, you can become an influencer.
Si estas comenzando en HIVE, arriésgate, consigue tu nicho como dice
, pero no te cierres, intenta una y otra vez. Es frustrante no tener recompensas, pero no te desesperes, sigue creando que, si es de tu gusto y de verdad lo deseas, tu si puedes llegar a ser influencer.
