Hive is my second family and I don't think that I'd all things been equal I will stay for a whole week without creating a content here, communicating with friends, replying comments and upvoting other post. It actually gives me joy to do that and whenever I travel to a place where there is no network I always feel very bad because I won't be able to open my blog and make a post.

For me is not all about the financial benefits that I get here, but the connection, the support from people I have never met and the sincerity of people who are here. Reading people's posts here helps me to see them for who they are. No need to hid anything when you are writing about yourself because I might never see your face anywhere in this life. This is how I see it and it helps me to open up concerning things that I can't tell someone on a normal day. I love #hive a lot and thanks to that individual or group of friends who brought about #hive.
Considering the topic for week 58 that says - WHY DO NEWBIES LEAVE HIVE?
let me consider a few points that I know.
- Financial benefits: For those who are here only for the financial benefits can't afford to stick when there is nothing much to gain. Infact now it looks like what we make her every month can't even pay for the data we use monthly. So for someone who believes that he needs to make more money here will be disappointed seen how low hive have become in the market.
- The Absence of writing skills: Is not everyone that can just pick up his phone and start writing about a given topic just like that. Some people when they see a topic, it will take them a whole two days before coming up with something to write. I know of a few people that I helped with the #hive account and they didn't not continue because they said they can't write like me. One watched me type and get up to 500 words in less than twenty minutes and she said to me that is not everyone that can do this. She stopped and she never looked back
- Punishment: newbies are like children learning how to walk and must fall. But we can't be harsh on that child for falling while attempting to Walk. We should only look for a way to correct with love. I believe that when a newbie commits any offense here it should be treated like that and not to just punish because we have people who are assigned to do that. So both the people who knows what they should do and fail to do it and the newbies receive the same kind of punishment when the break a law. This scares the newbies away and some of them never looks back when they run. I was a victim when I joined the hive Blockchain newly and the way I was punished back then when I was just three months here gave me sleepless nights and I almost ran away if not for the help of the person that introduced me who kept telling me never to go away because of it. Back then each time I open my blog I will just be afraid of what to do and what not to do because I don't want to offend anyone. Whenever I made an apology post I will always receive some bad comment from some people who believed that I came here just to get money and am doing everything to get money. Most times when I read the post I cry because that was not what I heard in mind when coming here. But today I noticed that some of them are no where to be found and I am still here even when #hive is at its lowest point.
In conclusion I want to say that we should not go away because things are not going our way. Everyone should be hopeful.
