Seven full years on Ste…Hive! How insane is that!?
A lot can, will and has changed in seven years, and mostly for the better for me. The past is not something I often think about but a birthday like this is a good opportunity to make note of the changes.
On the surface-level in 2017 when I first started showing up on Hive I was brunette, skinnier and often void of clothing in my online presense, hence the name Eve Uncovered.
I also took a lot of self portraits, thousands and thousands, mostly really bad but let’s not look at those. I had my moments!
Workwise I was a cook at a semi fancy hotel, and fucking hated it. After I joined Hive I spend every spare minute (and quite a few while at work too) on here and fast gained a following, with upvotes and payout to match. Hive actually gave me the chance to quit my shitty job about 7 months after I started blogging, after I had already been on sick leave for a month because of my hands and was at my wits end. I will forever be thankful to everyone who upvoted me to trending so often.
I lived in a small studio apartment where I created my sometimes elaborate setting for self portraits. I was mostly single, honestly can’t remember the what, who and when happened back then. Young adult living in a city center, free in most senses of the word, but pretty miserable deep down.
Fast forward 7 years, many up’s and down’s along the way and here I still am.
These days I am a voluptuous (kidding) blonde , working in the gun business and most importantly; living in my own big old house as a happily kept woman. My nails are always long, hair shiny and ass smacked regularly by the same man. Life is good!
Of course there are always struggles, but different kind these days. I work for my man, and I work on my (=our) own house and there is purpose in this slow living way of life. Technically I am way poorer than I was back then, but owning a house is well worth it. The only thing I’m really missing from my past life is the drive to photograph and create self portraits. My passions are always rotating so I’m sure I will return back to photography at some point, you’ll be the first to know if I do!
