.....Letting Go For "The Greater GOOD"
It was really a tough decision to make, I had not plan it, became so tight on me I had no choice than to let go
Hello world welcome to my blog and today I will share with you one of my most toughest moment and a hard decision I had to make for the greater good, these week @hiveniaja prompt got me reflecting on some of my caught-up-between-the-devil-and-the-deep-blue-sea experience few months ago, so if you will join me.....
Alright so it was earlier last year I got a job far from home, just to bridge that gap and avoid paying unnecessary Tfare I got myself a Belgium mountain bicycle, luckily for me I got it from the owner who hadn't really rode it since he bought it, and this bike was pretty sound and in very good condition, I upgraded somethings to my taste I loved it and it was my go to anywhere partner.
But then I had to relocate to another city for a job I would spend a year and I wanted selling it off but then I knew I would need it in these other city also to help me navigate and avoid Tp...
Ofcourse I did travel and after a while I was caught between choices.... I needed a phone so badly cause my phone then had started developing fault, but was manageable, but it wasn't given me that ease of handling especially on hive, it was affecting my posting abilities so much, for almost about 2 months plus I could not post, I wasn't okay with it.

But then when I was about to start the job here in the new city, I would really need the bike to help me cover the distance between home and work place and to save me from Transport cost which was high here, I needed to bring the bike over, also I was in dare need of a phone so I can be able to get back on hive fully and kick on my blogging journey.....
I wanted selling the bike to use the funds to get myself a phone, which will enable me stay active on hive atleast i can make do with whatever tp cost there is, when I asked a friend of mine about this decision and what I should do, he sincerely advised me to not sell the bike, rather bring it over cause it will help me cover the distance and more over i can get myself a phone once I'm paid...
Very brilliant idea I bought it, I requested the bike to be waybilled to me, I spent a lot on that, and finally it arrived, and for few month it was good, but then trouble began at work I wasn't comfortable with the job and after several thought I quit.
Here I was with the bike with an almost useless phone and no job, I knew very well that if only I can get a phone I will be fine but still I hated the thought of selling the bike, like its become a part of me, you know that feeling of you never want to let go but you have to for the greater good, the bike was there but it wasn't useful on the purpose which I brought it over, but then I needed a phone that would really help me get back on and become active on hive again, so what do I do....
It was a long hard thought and one day i made up my mind that if I must move foreward I need to sale off the bike and use that funds to get myself a phone, I hated it but I have no choice it was the only available option i had left, and so everyday I was convinced that it is what it is, I have to.....
Then I took the bike to where I use to fix it, bargain a price with buyer, even tho it wasn't favorable to me, I hated myself at that moment to sell my bike after I have spent money to bring it over and not sticking to plan, but still the reality on me now is that the job isn't there anymore and the only option I have is to get a phone instead ..
We finalize and the exchange was made, ... I touched my bike for the last time, stared at it and let go, .....
Fast-forward to today, I have gotten the phone about two months ago, and since then I have been able to stay active blogging on hive and tho I hated it, it turned out to be the best decision that I've made this year......

That was a tough decision to make.
I'm not so a fan of selling off real properties such bikes, but the situation presented itself so ugly and you made the right choice. With phone, you can save up some money.
Welcome back to Hive 🙌
Yeah.... the joy of being bck is just awesome.... thanks man
You made the best decision at that point of need. I would have taken the same decision as well. The good part is that you can now earn on Hive with your phone and get yourself a better bike.
Absolutely......
