The year so far

I have heard countless times where people complain about how the year has been slow, but to me, it's been very speedy because towards the end of last month (July), it dawned on me that I had stayed almost a complete year without my parents or siblings initiating the idea of me visiting home. This year has been fast asweeeaar.

As much as I'm not so fond of the general way of setting goals and publicizing them, the start of the year comes with all seriousness that pokes the mind to have some set goals to work towards as the year progresses.

What about my Hive set goals, have I smashed all of them?

At the beginning of the year, the only visible goal I set with regards to Hive is to hit 7,000 HP before the year runs out. Mehn, the year happened and is still happening in a different dimension for me; it hasn't been what I planned or expected at all, but it's all good too because I haven't given up on that goal even though we have just four months to go.

I currently have 4,911 HP, which means I will have to battle for an “almost impossible” 2,089 HP to complete that 7,000 HP. I used the word impossible to express that because it's looking like a mountainous number to hit due to how earnings have been low, but that doesn't mean that I have given up already.

I had everything planned out from the start of the year with the Liquid Hive of 990, which was initially 800 in my wallet. I wanted to play tricks with that amount on the up-and-down movement of the Hive price to hit my goal quickly, but as it is, the year hasn't been a “green” one for one to do that. But that notwithstanding, if peradventure I add the 990 Hive to the current HP, it means I will have just 1,000 HP to settle before the end of the year, which is likely possible. So you see, I'm still running with the set goal.

Life outside Hive: I won't lie, things have been going fine; goals are being smashed and even new ones are being set. These newly set goals would have waited for next year, 2026, but the demands have been unavoidable, and the situation has placed me in a tight corner lately, which I have been making all efforts to ensure the goal is smashed as well.

But regardless, I'm waiting for 2026 to come quickly because I like the feeling of the end of the year and the beginning of the year, where one just needs to stop, rest, and settle down to plan ahead...

The year 2025 has just four months remaining at the time of making this article, and four months is a whole lot for things to dramatically turn around for good. So yeah, I want the year to come to an end quickly and am also looking forward to things clicking before then.

Thanks for reading.
