My life is full of ups and downs, but whatever the circumstances it may bring, I had to accept the fact and get through with it.

Greetings to all of you in this steem community. I am @hae-ra, from the Queen City of the South - Cebu Philippines.

I've been here on #steemit since 2018, but I was away for a while for some reasons. Actually, way back then, I did not know this platform until my friend @jenny018 introduced me and invited me to join. But before we became friends, we were just a casual colleagues that time, until we've got a closer bond because of steemit.

Honestly at first, I did not believe what she was saying. So I just told her that maybe some other time, I had so many excuses. Until such time, she kept on babbling for something that made me curious. Yes, she got her payout as she said. Well, I would be very dishonest if I say that I don't like some bucks, right? Since money is one of our needs in our daily life nowadays.

For how many days of being persuaded by her, I decided to join and got to register. My journey started over here as a newbie steemian.👇

Being a beginner is really hard to start with. You don't know how and what to do. So the first thing that I did was exploring everything while in the platform. I joined many contests as I could. In fact, this is one of the best contest that I ever had. I really cried a river while making contents that time. That was initiated by @reginecruz. I was the winner and won 5sbd after all.👇

I could say that being a steemian is not that easy, because it is really hard to pleased everybody. But to tell you, while I am being here, I am having fun and I enjoy every moment of the way. I learned a lot here in this platform and most of all, it leads me to my passion in writing. On top of that, I could also earn by making and sharing contents on my own. For my 32 years of existence in this planet Earth, I could say that it is one the best decisions that I made. I am so thankful to @jenny018 for introducing me something like this.

My life was so boring back then, I just spent all my free times mostly in sleeping. Can you imagine how lonely my life was? Ahahahahaha. But here on steemit, I also got a lot busier. I had so much to do. I am also an employee of a BPO company here in the Philippines, but the salary couldn't make it to the top of our needs. I am just so thankful that steemit is along the way. Compared to my boring life before, right now, I couldn't imagine how to manage my time because as I have observed, I am focusing on steemit already. Oh my!!! I even forgot to comb my hair sometimes,, ahahahahaha.

And by the way, I am also a travel lover. I've been to many places around the Philippines, hehehe, but honestly, I would love to travel all around the world if I could have the chance to.

I am also a food porn lover. Food is boyfriend after all, ahahahaha.

We know that social media is already toxic nowadays. It also influenced a lot of negative energy to others. But here on steemit, you can share as much as you want without any bashers along the way. You can share without any hesitations. So if you wanna be a writer of your own story and all, steemit is just along the way.

I am so grateful to be back here. A lot of changes happened and a lot of great things coming. I wish that #steemit and #steemcommunity will stay longer than it seems so that we could pursue what we've started all along.

Thank you for taking time to read my fellow steemians in this wonderful and great community. Until the next episode of my story. Have a great day to all.
