IT HURTS TOO MUCH TO SAY GOODBYE!!!
I'm really not sure where to start with this post, and I'm so sad that it's all coming to a close. I recently celebrated how significantly this platform has improved my life, and now I'm saying goodbye.

Because I don't know the life I'll be returning to, my eyes are currently sore from attempting to hold back tears. I may not know, but I have a vague notion that I would lead a life marked by hardship and suffering. My reign of privilege and independence may be coming to an end, and as Hive is my primary source of income, I have no method of providing for myself once again.
I have published an essay about a job I used to have in 2018 for which I received a pay of $20 per month, thus neither I nor any of the other countrypeople here had anything to gain by living in my nation. This is a small portion of the monthly income I receive from Hive. Going to a life of such poverty is unthinkable to me.
For myself and many others, Hive has evolved into a home, so saying goodbye this soon feels more real than anything else. In really, it is death for me because Hive gave me a new life, and now my life without Hive is actually dying.
I will miss my friends from this platform, as well as supporting and guiding beginners. I'm still unsure of how I would feel if I didn't have to open my phone to check my Hive Account, if I didn't curate material, if I didn't leave comments, or even if I didn't have any plans for publishing content.
I am aware that after this, I will probably not use Discord in any way because the major reason I have been using it is because of Hive, and now that I am saying goodbye, that reason is no longer valid. I would miss our little private channel conversation with @prayzz and @bruno. I will also miss the ghost @mahirabdullah, who masks his voice and face.
I would miss having to devour @josehany's delicious food, her makeup, and her lovely face's contents. I would miss having to read the financial and thought-provoking information that my mentor @josediccus provides and definitely, I would miss comments from my engagement knight @hopestylist. I would miss the little time I spend listening to music from the Afritunes and Hive Open Mic communities.
Although I am already studying to become a software engineer, it would be a whole new level of hardship to pay for a data subscription. I may have less food on my table, but my personal life is a mess without Hive. In this community, I can relax, let out my suffering, watch mind-clearing media, and, most importantly, get the money I need to organize my life.
I don't think I'll ever leave my parents' house until the strike is finished because I need to find any way to feed myself, save money, and get my life in order. Most importantly, I would need to work on my self-esteem because I am saying goodbye to one of my most crucial supports. I need to stay believing in myself and keep myself strong on the journey that lies ahead.
Just a quick note to those of you who are reading this: after this weekend, your life will be very different from how it is now, so hold on to what you have. To the newcomers, it would be no different, but to those of us who have been coming regularly for at least two to three years, it would mark a significant change in our lives.
With the amount of financial stuff I've read, I think I may end up succeeding, but I would continue to feel empty or unfulfilled every day. I have no idea how long it will take for this hole in my chest to close, but every day I will think about Hive and try to find a way to bring it back to life after I finish my software engineering education. I have to save hive again because it has saved me.
I'm going to probably look for people who have insights into how Hive actually operates, conduct study into how Hive was created, and keep working until Hive is back, even if that means creating another chain. I won't stop working until Hive is rebuilt because of the potential it possesses to improve lives and alter them. Nothing is going to stop me from achieving this goal in life!
If this weekend was the last weekend that the Hive blockchain existed, what would you write in your last post.

Wow, you got me scared with your post title😂😂😂
Dang! This guy just pulled me out of the track this morning but I am calm now knowing that it's a contest and not what's gonna happen biko😂😂😂😂
Oh my goodness, 😇....wow
Hive has brought lots of wonderful peeps across your path, paved the way for financial freedom, and still counting. Saying goodbye is like kissing financial struggle or poverty and the likes to many😂😂
I pray this platform stays as long as we all need it👌👏🥰
Lol 😂. If I posted this in hive learners it would be another case 😅😂. The title I chose before this was more scarier but I changed it as even me that was writing it was scared 😅😂.
Hahaha
The first thing I checked was the community you posted this high blood pressure post 😂😂😂
Glad is not in the Hl community, otherwise, some people might even feint at the sight of the title alone 😂😂
Not everybody would though. Some people like you would say, this guy has too much stake in this platform to say Goodbye.
Especially me 😂😂😂😂
You be young millionaire na
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Someone who incorporate a title is afraid? Wahala 😄
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Madam Nkem is afraid or scared. Which one? 😜😅😅
It's a challenge though and not real oo
All of the above princess 😂😂😂
Glad is just a contest👍🤩
The guy is too good here to say goodbye to us 😇
😅😅😅
Ahh...this kyn competition...na who fi break person heart pass?
As i dey read am i feel like sey we no go see hive from tomorrow.
He wants to serve us breakfast 😂😂
My dear...Ih taya me
How will you not miss Hive? Tell me! 😂😂😂 You be boss here on your own. Handling the newbies initiative sef, na something.
These things would be missed and to say that Hive is my primary source now, what will happen thereafter?
Haa! Hive should not go like that. Because of Hive, I became independent and can survive. I have been addicted to meeting you guys here and leaving will make it worse.
The hurt will not go away like that because it would be so sad. I wake up to open my Hive account, and not seeing this happen, will affect me so hard.
Your post is really emotional 🥺
Omoh. I wish I am the boss you say I am. Hopefully Hive would last forever and grow to be better than it is now.
I am glad my post was emotion.
Come on! You are. Just hoping for more 😂😂
Yea, Hive will grow more than this and we await the best of it.
Amen oh. A $5 hive soonest. Then to $20. In Jesus name!
I say a big Amen 🙏
Weldone ooo 😅😅
I like this idea of writing the contest information below 😅 it can confuse people's souls 😅
I use to do it well well.. but, now this one catch me sha... although I was doubtful because you've done something like this before.
Weldone bro
May Hive not close at/on our Watch
Lol 😂😅😂. I no plan am but as I read one this morning, it gave me inspiration to write this article 😂😂😂
Excellent on topic for contest, how do you feel when you leave something you enjoy?
It would hurt like hell!!!
Always enjoy reading how people perceive life, saying goodbye always a hard one to pull out the hat.
Thank goodness this is only a contest 🙃
Thank Goodness it is! 😁
Dude what the fuck! I thought you are in deep trouble and quitting hive for good. Then I read this and it calmed my senses. 😂😂
You got me there for a second bro. 🤤

Lol 😂😂😅😂…
I am glad I got you there😅😂😆. That’s the main purpose of the article.
Good one bro. xD Scared the shit outta me. Can't imagine Hive without you.
Lol 😂. I am just a tiny fish here. Many people would not notice my absence.
I don't think that's true. You are being modest mate. They are a ton of peeps out there who look up to you and care for you. Especially the ones you brought to this amazing platform.
Que susto, en realidad creí que hablabas en serio yme preocupe pero decidí terminar de leer para poder entender hasta que leí que era una iniciativa 😅 entonces mi alma volvió a mi cuerpo 😥 sniff sniff que susto, nunca te vayas 🤗
Aww. No puedo dejar Hive por nada, solo traté de ajustar mi estado de ánimo al concurso para poder escribir perfectamente. Agradezco tu comentario, ¡muchas gracias!
Y lo hiciste muy bien porque si me lo creí jajaja que felicidad saber que no dejaras hive, yo ya los siento como familia ❤️❤️❤️
Man this is a great write up with a lot of suspense to the very end. I know it’s it a story, but it kinda really felt like a goodbye message until the very last part where you mentioned the weekend engagement prompt. I guess I should’ve known to check the weekend engagement prompts for the week the minute I saw it was in the weekend experience community and that it was actually Saturday(weekend today).
I can’t imagine that goodbye haven being true. Thank God! Have a great weekend man and give us a heads up next time. Can’t be out here scaring people like that.😌
Before I started writing the article, I had to set my mood to the fact that Hive would be ending and wrote it exactly like the way I would write it if it were to be true.
It looks like I did well on that 😁.
What, did well? You did great! That’s the problem😅 It was too convincing.
It's a very nice idea. Instead of leaving Hive for some reason it is more like Hive went down and it's a temporal good-bye. I like the idea. It got me thinking about how it is as well my main source of income. If I don't have it, I might as well go and look for one of those 20$ jobs where I'll be squeezed like a grape until I'm a shell of my former self.
Yeah it’s a temporary good bye. I can’t live with the fact that Hive won’t exist any longer. Plus I can’t go back to the world I lived in before Hive.
😅
That sounds like a tough call. Good thing it was just a thought exercise.
I didn't even believe it when I saw the post but I just need to give my eyes food 🧐🧐
Lol 😂. You no fit believe norms.
Abi na
Some people will not be missed here and I am proudly one of those people😂💔
Meanwhile, I already knew this was clickbait and has nothing to do with you leaving hive😂
Where you wan go leave hive? If you ever do, just send me your Master, active, and posting keys. That will do and you can then say goodbye to hive. I will be happy to miss having you here, and I will take care of your wallet and account well for you 😂😂🚶🏻♀️
@zellypearl you're not alone ooo😢 Nobody knows me here, nobody would even miss me. Come let's cry together 😢
OYO.
I no dey follow you cry o lol, I know my place😂
I would miss you 😢
I would miss you now 🥲.
I misplaced my keys 3 years ago when I was going to my village at Osun state. If you help me see it please help me keep it.
You actually scare me at first I must really confess

Lol 😂. Mission accomplished!
@didiee , shea you have turn our starstrings to a creative writer ba? 😉
Boss @starstrings01, I dey hail ooo.
Would I miss you? Of course, I would miss my crush 🥺
But thanks to @didiee I know this is not coming to pass 🙌🙌
@iskawrites it's not me oooo😂 The Lord is helping our brother. I'm just imagining if I didn't write this contest just yet, I would really panic thinking Hive is coming to an end. Just thinking about this is making me so scared, I would really lose it cos I know what Hive means to me. But thank God, it's not real.
Hahaha.... The Lord is using you to help our brother 😉
I understand. Omo, it would be boring to wake up and realize there's no notification nor posts to read.... Ha... Boredom and depression straight up.. haha
Lol 😂. Mama no talk this, you suppose rate your boy on how he do well for this write up.
🥰🥰🥰. Iska. How are you doing?
Hey, starstrings, I am doing okay. Thanks for caring. 🤗🤗
How about you? How's your programming lessons going?
I share your feelings, just the idea of having to say goodbye to Hive, I can not think about it, he is my support, my strength at this time, I would fight to the end for him to continue with us, greetings.
Same thing here. We would fight so hard for Hive!
Immediately I saw that you tagged my name, I was not sure why so I clicked on the notification and it brought me here and the first thing I looked at was the community you had posted it too and I took a very good breath, lol 😂😂, I just knew it was the weekend engagement questions.
Despite the fact that I knew it was fictional, I still almost had tears in my eyes reading through this, you just got me when you said you were going to save Hive just like Hive saved you, that only goes to show that you truly have a bond and it's really beautiful.
If Hive was to really close up this weekend, I will surely miss replying to all your amazing post and also your intriguing ideas and I will love to have your number so I can keep in touch with you. I know we are not that close but I still won't want to let that tiny bond go.
Aww! Check your discord 😁.
Also, Hive helped me a lot so if anything happens to Hive, it’s a responsibility to make sure it comes back up. We love Hive!
Okayyyyyy 💃💃💃💃.
Yes, you are absolutely right, it helped us so it won't be out of place to reciprocate the help 💯❤️.

Reading your article made me so poignant...although I knew it's a fictional content but it sounds so real and it only makes me wonder o. What if this was real??
Imagination sucks yeah!
ASUU has been messing people up real bad honestly...After my ND programme I wanted to enroll for university of Lagos but seeing this strike...omo...it seems I would stay forever in school...so I was wondering if to finish up my program.
Government is not making things a bit cool for the youths but I know that no one depends on them at all.
Hive can't go now😩
Wow. I was just wondering what it would feel like not having you here. Just joined the block chain and was recommended you and this? No na. Anyways, I'm glad it was just a gig. What's new? Cause I'm new.
