First post here on Inleo!

Where did I come from?

Hello beautiful people! I figured i'd introduce myself to you! My name is Mariah and I'm new to this part of the internet. Blogging, hive, blockchain, and crypto as well. I'm gonna be 30 this year on July 6th. I'm an American that moved to Sweden on Januarty 17th 2023. Before moving to Sweden I lived in a very small town in the middle of nowhere, smack dab in the middle of corn fields.

Hobbies

My hobbies include so many things but a small list of them is I play too many video games, read a lot of fantasy and erotica books but would like to read more generes. I love to do bead art, drink coffee, chat with friends, and roam the wilderness.

About my personality.

I'm a neurodiverent woman with mental health issues. I have lot's of anxiety and scared of a lot of things. Adhd plauges my mind. My friends and family swear im kind, funny, silly, adorable and unpredictable... and have a vulgar mind and mouth.

Things I plan to post on Inleo. Blogs and threads ect.

  • Weekly posts of my life as an immigrant.
  • My scattered mind on the internet.. If I must deal with it... so must you all
  • Talk about mental health and body positivity
  • Show people my funny things that happen to me when I game.
  • Write book reviews
  • Also spam pictures of my 2 fur babies fudge and caramel.
  • Trials and tribulations of being an immigrant and learning a new culture and language.
  • Use this platform as my safe space to post anything and everything on my mind.
    This may be unhinged and slightly confusing topics. From here on out will be posted every Monday and I'll post on the threads when I have things to say throughout the week.

If you find me amusing or looking to make a friend... MAYBE you will find your thoughts inline with mine. Let's move through this crazy thing called life together.

Welcome to Hive.
My best advice would be to be persistent. What you do on hive, be selfish about it… meaning do it for your self, and see others enjoying it as a bonus, see any earnings as a bonus.
For me Hive is a digital diary, for all my meanderings.
I never worried about the money, and im still here 8 years after joining.
And lastly, if you would like more engagement on you posts. Engage with others.
I tend to go with the 5 to 1 idea. Meaning, I’ll engage with 5 people, and 1 will engage back. Thats perfect in my world. I’m happy to give more than i get.
Eventually all circles… circle back.
😎
good luck and feel free to reach out if you have questions

So kind of you! Yes this is my digital diary I needed an outlet to let lose and put everything in one place. Maybe someone will read my things and feel less alone.. Realize that people are going through things same as them! I just wanna reach people similar to me.

Welcome to Hive. InLeo is just part of this blockchain and there is a lot to explore. We have quite a few games as well as all the blogging stuff. I hope it's fun for you and you can find people who share your interests. Have a look around and try some hashtags. Hive is not like other social media, but I think it can be better.

We also have !BEER :)

Meep! Thanks for the welcome! Oh my goodness! There are games?! What on earth is this I must look into it xD The internet is full of people i'm sure I'll be able to find people that are awesome and share similar views and interests as myself. I'm not super into beer steevc but I'd drink it since it was offered to me ;) Thanks for being a MVP and being my first comment on here! hugs to you my friend!

I have played a few of the games, but mostly do Rising Star that is about making it in the music business and features music by some Hivers. Music is quite a big thing here generally.

The beer thing is just one of many 'level two' tokens that you can gain. We also have !PIZZA.

Enjoy!

Thanks steevc :) Hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to chat with me!

I like to welcome new people. I have to say that a lot seem to give up for various reasons and we need more to stick around. Hive is still pretty small really, but I love it and want many more to join.

Yeah I have a draft im writing just like a weekly journal to get my thoughts down. Not sure how many will want to read it but that's okay I just need an outlet. Also want to do some book reviews and post me gaming i have so many passions but its hard to show them to the people who count when social media such as twitter/instagram is flooded people random stuff. People tend to get lost in the mix ya know?

Welcome to the best web3 network ever, Mariah. Have fun around here!

Oh, and yes, Leo is only a small portion of the entire Hive ;)

Yeah i'm seeing this... I'm addicted!! I've been looking at so many posts and have some in my drafts... I'm like oooo I wanna post here and here and here!!! xD I didnt realize i'd like this so much!

Hey @talesandcoffee, here is a little bit of BEER from @michaelreischer for you. Enjoy it!

Do you want to win SOME BEER together with your friends and draw the BEERKING.

Hi! Welcome! :) I hope you have a nice time here. It can take a minute to get things going. It can be disappointing to see a post do poorly (especially one you had high hopes for), so try to keep at it and not lose faith. It's a lovely place here, really. And you seem like a fun person. I love Caramel as a name. Why Sweden? (I'm just curious) Anyway nice to meet you!

The short of the story is Love. I moved here for the man of my dreams. I may make a long post about him because that man deserves it for sure! Thank you for taking time to comment on my post! I don't have super high expectations on here. I'm using it as an outlet to meet people and get my thoughts and feelings down out of my mind. I sometimes have too much to say and think about and need to put them somewhere. So if people enjoy my daily journal/diary. I have gotten more attention thus far than i thought i would. Insane. :)

That's just gorgeous! So happy for you. May I ask, did you meet online? (again, no pressure and sorry for being overly-curious. I just am, I guess) look forward to getting to know you more out here and good luck with your Swedish lessons and all~

If your interested other might be as well ill get to writing it out for you all :) but we met online we are both gamers:)

Welcome to the Hive community @talesandcoffee!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

Seven suggestions to consider:

  1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
  2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, Keychain, Peaklock, and Hivesigner,
  3. The master password and the owner key are only used to reset compromised passwords,
  4. DO NOT lose your password or keys; copy and store offline,
  5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
  6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
  7. DO NOT OPEN any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Hiveans available who can help you; you can click to go to The Terminal in Discord here:

Have fun and happy Hiving!

Thank you so much these all seem super important to know! ill join the discord just so i have it just incase. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hello! Welcome to Hive, @talesandcoffee
I found you thanks to @heyhaveyamet 's introduction post.
You've come to a wonderful place where you can develop any interest you can think of. The limit is up to you!
The learning curve is steep at first, but ask any questions you have, read and observe.
You can find me most of the time in
Ecency 's Discord server, my favourite frontend, or in The Terminal’s one.
Greetings from Spain. 🤗

oh wow thats really cool. Thanks for the welcome to hive! I have had a blast reading everyones posts. I see I have a cap on what I can like and how much I can do on the app I was like dangit. xD

As soon as you accumulate a little Hive Power that inconvenience will disappear. 😊

Welcome to Hive and see you've met a few of the people who've been here for a long time. It's a great place to be here and people have a lot of interest from photography yo music production. We also have communities here for various things, they are worth checking out and people can start their own too. Mine is called "Hive Sound Library" which is dedicated to synth, sound design and sampling. We often review various music apps for the ipad and desktop computers.

That sounds very interesting. Ill have to poke my head in there and take a peak. Thank you very much for your welcome message :)

Hi there Mariah, I see you're Leigh's friend, welcome to Hive!!!

I'm sure you won't be short of stuff to blog, everything you mentioned above has an audience on Hive, so sooner or later you're going to come across lots of like minded people. Here are some communities that may interest you, and there are tonnes others on Hive. Peakd is just like InLeo, think of them as different entrances to the same house called Hive.

I don't want to overload you with too much information coz it's very daunting, so whenever you have questions feel free to ask. Pretty much everyone who has commented on your post here are legit and resourceful and can help you, particularly steevc and honeydue.

Have fun!
