Confiar tu legado también es amor | LOH #282
Hay preguntas que no llegan para ser respondidas rápido, sino para quedarse un rato en tu mente y transformarse en tu pecho. Leí el concurso de la comunidad Ladies of Hive de esta semana, y sentí que no estaba hablando solo de dinero, también es sobre legado, decisiones silenciosas y quiénes somos cuando nadie nos ve, pero igual estamos construyendo algo.
Hoy no tengo una gran fortuna, algún día siendo una niña de rizos dorados, deseaba e idealizaba mi proceso de otra forma, pero crecer me hizo comprender muchas cosas. Últimamente, no tengo un ingreso fijo, pero tengo algo que me sostiene, la profunda certeza y deseo claro de construir una vida basada en la creatividad, sobre todo, en la escritura. Estoy ahorrando, poco a poco, con intención y aprendiendo de otras personas en el proceso. Cada recurso que entra a mi billetera digital, tiene un destino emocional antes que financiero; invertir en mi marca personal, en mi voz, en la mujer que estoy construyendo cada mañana desde que me gradué de la universidad.

Por eso, la primera pregunta no la sentí lejana, más bien real y centrada con lo que he estado experimentando más seguido de lo que creen:
Si algún día yo faltara, no me gustaría que lo que construí se perdiera en manos que no lo entiendan, porque mi cuenta no es nada más una normal, sino un registro de mis procesos más vulnerables, sensibles y emotivos, es una mezcla sincera de mis días buenos y mis días rotos, pero también de mis ganas de renacer como un ave fénix. Cuando pienso crudamente a quien se lo confiaría todo, la respuesta llega con calma, sería a quien me ayudó a llegar aquí porque creyó en mis capacidades, me corrigió una y otra vez antes de publicar, me sugirió ideas cuándo no tenía, por eso, se lo dejaría a @capp .
Él también es parte del ecosistema, ha estado presente escribiendo desde un lugar muy distinto al mío, pero igual de valioso: la ciencia, especialmente centrado en los animales y la naturaleza. Siempre ha tenido esa forma de compartir conocimiento con intención, sin ruido, sin prisa, muy bien maquetado y centrado. Es sencillamente, como quien ama lo que hace sin necesidad de demostrarlo, por eso, sé que se ha ganado su lugar en cada comunidad, por hacer las cosas bien.
Considero que para mí, esto es lo que pesa más a la hora de dejarle todo a alguien, la coherencia y el aprendizaje. No tengo un plan de sucesión formal, pero tengo claridad en mis metas y en mi legado; sé que él me conoce, y no lo vería como solo números, también lo respetaría, honrando mis deseos post-mortem y cuidaría una parte digital que existirá eternamente.

La segunda pregunta, me toca desde otro sitio y es el aprender a dar sin perder el norte hacia lo que anhelo. Vengo de una etapa donde ayudar era casi automático, dónde decir sí, se sentía como algo correcto ante la sociedad, pero por dentro me estaba carcomiendo la duda y la incomodidad. Pero estoy mejorando ese aspecto lentamente, creciendo hacia una versión de mí, que sabe que el amor también necesita establecer límites.
Pienso en tener esta regla de oro: el apoyo a terceros, sea familiar o amigo, no debe nunca exceder el 10% de mi fondo de emergencia mensual. Reconozco que para cuidar de otros, mi propio barco debe estar a flote.
Estoy organizando mis finanzas, ahorrando con intención, invirtiendo mi tiempo en cosas que me suman como profesional en comunicación social, y también creciendo como ser humano y mujer. Quiero poder construir una vida estable, una marca personal que me permita vivir de lo que amo. Eso implica comprender que no todo lo que tengo disponible, está disponible para todos. Porque generacionalmente cumplimos patrones de ayuda, que muchas veces no nos permiten crecer, cambiar y mejorar, sobre todo en la economía, y generalmente lo justificamos como amor o incapacidad, y no debería ser así.

No digo que no ayudaría a mi familia, claro que estaría presente para gente que me otorgó muchos de sus sueldos en comida, estancias, útiles escolares y educación privada. Pero también pienso en frío: ¿hay responsabilidad del otro lado? ¿es apoyo mutuo o una dependencia constante?
Este proceso de introspección al escribir esta publicación, me dejó pensando que incluso sin tener grandes cantidades, estamos tomando decisiones importantes, definiendo cada despertar cómo queremos vivir y también cómo queremos ser recordadas. Hoy quizás no tengo aún 35,000 Hive power, pero estoy construyéndolos junto a una vida donde cada recurso, ya sea emocional, creativo o financiero, tenga un propósito.
Al final no se trata de cuánto dejamos, sino del significado que tiene lo que vivimos.

There are questions that aren’t meant to be answered quickly, but rather to linger in your mind for a while and take root in your heart. I read this week’s contest from the Ladies of Hive community, and I felt that it wasn’t just about money—it’s also about legacy, quiet decisions, and who we are when no one is watching, even as we’re still building something.
Today I don’t have a great fortune. As a little girl with golden curls, I used to wish for and idealize my journey differently, but growing up has helped me understand many things. Lately, I don’t have a steady income, but I have something that sustains me: the deep certainty and clear desire to build a life based on creativity—above all, on writing. I’m saving, little by little, with intention, and learning from others along the way. Every resource that enters my digital wallet has an emotional purpose before a financial one: to invest in my personal brand, in my voice, in the woman I’ve been building every morning since I graduated from college.
That’s why the first question didn’t feel distant to me; rather, it felt real and centered on what I’ve been experiencing more often than you might think:
If I were ever to be gone, I wouldn’t want what I’ve built to be lost in the hands of those who don’t understand it, because my account isn’t just an ordinary one—it’s a record of my most vulnerable, sensitive, and emotional processes. It’s a sincere mix of my good days and my broken days, but also of my desire to be reborn like a phoenix. When I think hard about who I would entrust everything to, the answer comes calmly: it would be the person who helped me get here because they believed in my abilities, who corrected me time and again before I posted, who suggested ideas when I had none. That’s why I would leave it to @capp.
He, too, is part of the ecosystem; he has been writing from a place very different from mine, yet just as valuable: science, with a particular focus on animals and nature. He’s always had that way of sharing knowledge with intention—without fanfare, without haste, very well laid out and focused. He’s simply someone who loves what he does without needing to prove it. That’s why I know he’s earned his place in every community—by doing things right.
I believe that, for me, these are the most important factors when it comes to leaving everything to someone: consistency and learning. I don’t have a formal succession plan, but I’m clear about my goals and my legacy; I know he knows me, and he wouldn’t see it as just numbers—he would also respect me, honor my wishes after I’m gone, and take care of a digital legacy that will exist forever.

The second question touches me in a different way: learning to give without losing sight of what I truly desire. I come from a time when helping others was almost automatic, when saying “yes” felt like the socially correct thing to do, but inside, doubt and discomfort were eating away at me. But I’m slowly improving in that area, growing into a version of myself who knows that love also needs to set boundaries.
I’ve decided to follow this golden rule: financial support for others—whether family or friends—should never exceed 10% of my monthly emergency fund. I realize that in order to take care of others, I need to keep my own ship afloat.
I’m getting my finances in order, saving purposefully, investing my time in things that help me grow as a professional in social media, and also growing as a human being and a woman. I want to be able to build a stable life and a personal brand that allows me to make a living doing what I love. That means understanding that not everything I have access to is available to everyone. Because, generationally, we follow patterns of support that often prevent us from growing, changing, and improving—especially in economic terms—and we usually justify this as love or helplessness, but it shouldn’t be that way.

I’m not saying I wouldn’t help my family; of course, I’d be there for the people who gave me so much of their income in the form of food, housing, school supplies, and private education. But I also think rationally: Is there responsibility on the other side? Is it mutual support or constant dependence?
This process of introspection while writing this post left me thinking that even without having large amounts of resources, we are making important decisions, defining with every waking moment how we want to live and also how we want to be remembered. Today, I may not yet have 35,000 Hive Power, but I’m building it alongside a life where every resource—whether emotional, creative, or financial—has a purpose.
In the end, it’s not about how much we leave behind, but about the meaning of what we’ve lived.

Good, you have someone you can trust with your Hive legacy. And immutably secured on this post via block chain, and witnessed by your readers.
Eight years ago I'd never thought I would in the position I am now. It was about Hive at first but that has changed. It has become my home on the internet, not perfect or utopian, but a place I could let my personal thoughts and creativity run free. Hive seems more a personal journey, the crypto being merely a score or a bonus feature to me.
My hope is after when I am gone that my Hive resources continue to benefit individual bloggers like you.
I do pre-plan my personal budget to accommodate friends in hardship. With housing becoming unaffordable I have considered taking in a friend in my home up to 4 weeks.
Thanks for sharing @sweetval

Thank you for bringing up these situations, which are very real for many people, but for me, they’re really just hypothetical. It takes a lot of courage to take in a friend for several weeks, but I’m confident it will be an experience filled with empathy and true love.
We’re very fortunate to have this valuable opportunity to share our thoughts on Hive for posterity 🫶
Choosing the person that introduced you to Hive speaks very well about the impact that he has made.
Getting your finances in order, being intentional about saving, and being mindful about how you spend and invest your time, shows real maturity. Weldon.
That’s right—we need to keep a clear head when thinking about our legacy and all our work. In this case, we’re bound not only by blood but also by a passion for a platform that has allowed us to grow as individuals and as a family. Best of luck, and warm regards 🌹
You are absolutely right.
Dear,
you have explained a great deal of reasonabilities here. I appreciate your line of thoughts about legacy and about givings.
I love the boundaries you have set up about givings.
Many a times, some of our family members and loved ones do behave and believe that they are entitled to our valueables because they are close people to us.
But no, you have made me to have a rethink that, we do not suppose to spend on some of them that are just there to get from us and waste it. There has to be boundaries. Thank you!
I'm so glad this message resonated with you. It's hard to say “no” to family, but it's necessary when we feel that self-interest is the only thing at play. Setting boundaries is essential for our generosity to be sustainable and genuine. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! 💗
Thank you, you really dealt with it I have learned some useful ways to interact with them.
Over the time, some of them have dealt negatively with me, I kept wondering how to handle it, now I know. Thank you!
