2023 was a real rollercoaster of a year, filled with lots of experiences. Although 2023 didn’t go as planned, I’m grateful to the friends who stood by me, especially during critical moments. I relied on their support, assistance, and advice and they never hesitated to treat me well. I’m happy to be able to express my gratitude to everyone who supported and stood by me through the ups and downs. A special shout-out to the Hive learners community for their wonderful topics. I’ve been a part of this community for more than 1 year and it is good to see that the community is growing every day. This post is dedicated to all the beautiful, talented, amazing, and nice people who stood by me throughout last year. It would've been really difficult to scale through without you guys.
@burlarj - Investor Burlarj a.k.a Eagle is a good person. No wonder lots of people value and respect him. He’s a role model to lots of people. I’m pretty sure there are so many Hivers who look up to him. One thing I can boldly say about Investor is that he is always ready to help, regardless of age, race, gender, or even HP (haha). My Hive journey without you would've been difficult. Like, really difficult. I’m very lucky to have you in my Hive life. Burlarj has been such an incredible help on my hive journey! Whenever I need assistance, I know I can always count on him. He’s always ready to answer my questions no matter how silly they may seem.
Sir, not so many people are capable of doing the things you do. You are extraordinarily talented. I look up to you. You motivate me to always strive harder. I’ll keep following in your footsteps. Maybe one day, I’ll finally be able to do the things you do. Thank you again, sir.
@quduus1- The second person on my list is this guy. Foxy Fox. First off, have I ever told you I like your nickname? Well, this is me saying it publicly now. I remember the first time Fox and I got to know each other. I joined Neoxian City (back when we were still on Element) and Fox was part of the first few people I connected with. One thing about Fox is that he has a great hustling spirit. He’s a hustle- it runs through his arteries, veins, and blood.
Fox is my Hive twin. One thing I admire about him is that he’s always ready to share updates with me. To succeed on Hive, you need people by your side and I’m super excited that I have Fox by my side. I will never forget the night Fox woke me from my sleep with an urgent call. It was around 2 am and I was deeply asleep. I answered the call sleepily, and when I heard what he had to say, it was really an important update. Yeah, Fox also told me about Holozing. Thanks for all that you do, my friend.
@queenstarr- Queenstar is a queen, a star, and a rare gem. She is a brilliant woman who’s capable of so many things. Queen, you are a good person. Queen, another thing I really admire about you is how smart you are and how you have such vast knowledge of so many things. Remember our chat on conspiracy theories, Reincarnation (Ps: have you read your dad’s journal? The one that caught your attention), and a whole lot of other things?
Thanks for playing the role of a big sister and a mentor. Countless times I entered your DM with “Hello, Queen, there's something I'd like to…” and you never turned me down. Thank you, Queen.
@rubilu @yahuza @depressedfuckup
My Ghanaian looters. Rubi and Chenty, thanks for always allowing me to mess with you guys. Unlike most people, you guys don’t take things seriously. You always flow with my jokes. Thank you so much. To you, depressedfuckup, it's been so great working with you on the Newbies Initiative! I remember how you used to drop by my posts every time, and I'd also do the same. I don't know what changed, but I Hope things will go back to how they used to be. Thank you so much, guys.
@jhymi and @deraaa. You guys are truly amazing. Jhymi, thanks for always listening to my gists. Deraa, for the 100th, I still miss you.
A big thanks to my chess bros
