Hello friends, this is my first time posting in the community and participating in the contests announced through the Discord channel, I did the verification last week. Today I will tell you my perspective on those factors that caused significant changes in my life.
¡Let's get started!
Love of reading and writing - Image designed with canva.
My love for reading and writing
Undoubtedly, one of the factors that has influenced my changes as a person has been to cultivate the habit of reading and writing. This is something that goes back several years ago, when I was still a junior in high school, and I was like in a bubble world. I lived to meet my mother's expectations in terms of grades and I used to have fun in my free time with video games.
Those two points mentioned before, pushed me a little more to limit my communication and the bonds I developed with other people could be counted on the fingers of my hands. It was in third grade, when the guidance teacher would make some evaluations based on the reading of certain books, such as "The knight in rusty armor" and "who took my cheese", two books that in my opinion are very good and are excellent for someone to start reading.
Reading those two books allowed me to broaden my perspective on the world and ignited in me a fever to read and discover more words, worlds and knowledge hidden behind the books that other people wrote. After that, I didn't stay quiet, I asked for more books, and I met Haruki Murakami, Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Julio Verne, Dan Brown, Ernesto Sábato and a long etcetera.
This has undoubtedly changed me, nowadays I don't play any kind of video games, I prefer to read. I also cultivate the habit of writing in my free time and when I can participate in contests held in my country I do it, although I'm still a novice =)
Responsibilities - Image designed with canva.
Responsibilities
The difficulties of life are not long in coming, when you reach a certain age, you have to find some kind of job to make a living. Previously the economic situation in my country didn't affect me so much, but now it does, my family has traveled and I stayed in my home country with an aunt. For the last two years, I have made a great effort and managed to buy my epilepsy medication on my own.
I also managed to contribute to the household by contributing some money for food. Although I am currently unemployed, I am still looking for ways to get ahead to overcome all kinds of obstacles. I have changed my habits about money management, I rarely allow myself to spend on anything other than food for the house or medication and I look for ways to work using my writing skills. Hive, is a good platform in that sense because it gives you a lot of opportunities.
Conclusion
My life has changed quite a bit since I was young, I used to be a young man with no other worries than studies and video games. Then I grew up and adopted different habits and activities that have shaped me to some extent. Along with the changes came responsibilities and that resulted in the constant search in which I find myself to solve my economic problems and bring some support to the home.
I always try to take advantage of these valuable opportunities, especially if they are related to writing.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read.
I hope you liked it.

Responsibilities makes a man, most of us have gone through that stage from childhood to adult hood and we realize our parent really tried for us.. it is now our time to face the responsibility squarely....
Hopefully hive can take good care of you because there is no job out there for the masses...
True, nowadays it is difficult to find a job that pays you enough to eat and provide for your family.
The responsibilities that come with growth are what help us to get more focused in life. Because then we know what is truly important.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Very true, without difficulties we do not grow much.
