August 2023 HivePUD - July Was So~ Eventful

My Biggest HIVE Project Finally Starts!

I was very active on HIVE this month, especially near the start and near the end of it. My notes for the first week of July were massive. I updated my "Where to Start?" Post to be more visually appealing. I converted my buzzes about Reddit into an article.

A while after that, the hinge of my Laptop broke, and had to live a day and a half without it as it went for repairs. Only for it to break again a week after. My main storage got burned this time, and while I didn't lose any important files, I lost a bit of my sanity over it. Fixing the Laptop two times, and fearful of having to do a third one, I got overwhelmed. I desperately wanted to post more on HIVE so I could earn more money. This probably contributed to my Depressive episode I'll talk about below.

I was asked by one of my DFT Project Supporters to Draw a certain photo in my art style. Around that time I started using Clip Studio Paint more, and even Subscribed to the Pro version. (I'm still experimenting with CSP, but if you noticed improvements in my art lately, the Pro version helped so much with that.) Later in the month, I'd practice my art with fun sketch pieces inspired by DBuzz buzzes.

New Journeys

Near the end of the month, I joined CTPX.io: A Traffic Exchange that has multiple HIVE users. While the traffic I get from there isn't High Quality, (as with other Traffic Exchanges,) I discovered a bunch of HIVE users/posts through it and I'm sure some have discovered me too. I realized the CTP points I earned on the website are worth more than I thought, so I keep it tabbed whenever I'm not using a limited bandwidth Internet plan.

A little while after that I joined LeadsLeap after @dmhafiz and a few others recommended it to me. While I find their Credit Earning method isn't suitable for me, I realized it has a lot of great options like Coop Earnings, Links Tracking, a Pop-ups builder, and a Free Mailing List. I loved the first two, and I want to try the latter two in the future, (إن شاء الله) but I love it so far.

A Step Forward

Finally, I made huge progress on my DIGITAL FUNDING TOKENS project. I had 8 Sales in this month alone. I updated the post for DFT-000 The Logo and I finally posted my Beneficiary Rotating List that I'll use to keep track of my Supporters and what DFTs they own. I'm writing the article for the second DFT and it's massive compared to the first one. I hope to release it soon.

The Depression Arc

Chronologically, that's the last thing I did in July. Now, let's go back a little...

Halfway through the month, I got overwhelmed with Stress, on top of what I said above I was helping my artist friends with their website, and Electricity started to randomly go out on the hottest days of the year.

Stress continued to pile up and I started to cry randomly. Then, I was convinced by a(n unrelated) conversation I saw online to see a therapist. I got better a few days after that. (الحمد لله)

Now I'm more productive than I used to be, and finally stopped procrastinating on my most important Project on HIVE.

Digital Funding Tokens Project

Sketch Pieces

These are my Drawing articles, as I explored DBuzz and got inspired by photos and buzzes to draw something. The quality I aimed for increased as I draw more:

Threadstorms

This month I wrote a bunch of #threadstorm pieces, especially towards its end after LeoFinance introduced Communities on LeoThreads section of the website:

Power Up

#HivePUD (Power Up Day) is a monthly event to encourage people to Power Up their liquid HIVE. The event is managed by @traciyork. You can find all the information and the list of participation rewards in her August post. You should check these posts once in a while, as the rules might change between months.

Here's the Hive amount I Powered Up this February:

What's Next?

In this section last month, I said I wanted to "get 3rd place in Hive Engagement League this July" but sadly, Hive Engagement League by @abh12345 is discontinued... I'll keep my goals for the next month private this time, but I have a better vision about my future this month than I have been all this past year.

If you're new, I recommend you check the "Where to Start?" post linked above. I updated it this month to include symboks, so I hope you like how it looks. I write in many genres so you'll find a story you like.

Thanks for reading.~

Salam (Peace)~

Thanks for the read. I can relate very well to the laptop issues which you've recently experienced, having had some of my own. Like you, mine are now finally sorted haha. Hope all goes well for you. Life is incredibly stressful and I have found that my faith pulls me through the worst of it. Take care.

#dreemerforlife beemed down from #dreemport - to this #dreemer curated post :)

You're correct about the faith thing. It might look bad now, but I would've been much worse if I didn't have faith in God. Thanks for coming by.~

Thanks for coming by. I didn't improve much in these two weeks since the therapy. I just spend much less time on negative thoughts which gives me 20% or so more energy than my days before. I'm grateful for that, though.

I pray I use that time productively. إن شاء الله رب العالمين

I repaired it but the repair shop told me it's a weak material and can't be prepared again, at least not cheap enough to worth it. So I hope to save enough for a new one before this Laptop dies.
