My First Day On Hive: Exploring the Pathway of Ultimate Discovery

Dear Esteemed Hive Community,

I am pleased to be a part of you, hope you're all having a nice day.

So let me start by saying a little thing about myself.
I'm a lifestyle, beauty and nature aesthete. I love to appreciate beautiful things and beautiful people. I love creative minded people.
Aside from these, I was born into a family that loves music so much. Since I was not a really good singer, we would engage in several family singing competitions and I'd always lose. That didn't make me relent, I kept on trying and trying till I became the best amongst us. But I wasn't still satisfied because I wanted more than that, So I decided to engage in singing competitions with my classmates back then in school. Sadly, I didn't emerge the best in any of these competitions. I got so angry and furious, it was then I decided to switch into the debating society. I was doing so well, I won many awards both myself and my school, but that's by the way.

As days go by, acquiring knowledge has become part of my daily routine.

Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Victoria from Nigeria.
I grew up in what I may describe as a slightly isolated environment with strict parenting, not overly strict but still..

One of the ways I would escape the spying eyes of parenting was by taking a dash at opportunities that pulled me out of that comfort zone. Exploring new places and things has always been part of the deal.
The older I grew, the hunger and thirst to explore became stronger and stronger. I have always wanted more out of life. As I perceived many paths being taken by others as absurd and always craved to create and walk my own with wisdom.
As the years got by, I began to interact and collaborate with amazing individuals. These amazing people connected me to more amazing people and so did the amazement continue.

Because I don't look like it, and I don't act like it, it's difficult to know that I'm the first daughter. I was born into leadership, and by virtue of this responsibility, it required me to be more observant and predict certain outcomes before they took place.

I have ventured into several skills acquisition schemes both online and offline some of which includes: copywriting, Facebook advertisement, sales funnels, mini importation, cake and event decorations, and a host of other things. But all of these didn't really work out because it was interfering with my academics and I couldn't focus.

As fate would have it, I was on my way to get groceries from the mall some time back. I ran into this beautiful friend of mine @wongi, it was really amazing and wonderful to have seen her after years of not seeing each other, the excitement in me knew no bounds.

So I made an offer for us to sit out and have a drink, which she gladly accepted.
We were having random conversations, particularly about our lives, jobs, and other interesting topics.

During the process of our discussion that lasted about two hours, I noticed how frequently she was looking at her phone when it beeped. Because I am an inquisitive person in nature, I was eager to know why she was always looking at her phone. So I called her attention and I popped the question, she looked up and smiled at first, I kept wondering why she was smiling, and then she answered by saying she was replying to comments. At first I chuckled, I'm sure you want to know why! That's because @wongi that I know is not a lover of social media, let alone replying to comments. I was wowed, lost in my thoughts because of the reply I got from her.

At that point, I felt left out because it's been a while, and I haven't been active on my social media accounts either. But she said it's not the regular social media that I know, and she ended up talking about Hive and how amazing her journey has been on Hive, and the wonderful people she met on Hive. Since I love to explore, I developed a keen interest and I asked for clarity on certain things, which she explained to me emphatically and I understood everything.

I want to say a big thanks to @wongi for giving me this wonderful opportunity to share my ups and downs with everyone here.

And to the amazing people on Hive, I am unrelentingly ready to learn from you all. And I hope this expedition and adventure will be an extraordinary one.
