By conveying our deeper thoughts on Hive, we can uplift and support each other across the blockchain. This week we had some wonderful authors visit to share their life reflections, wisdom, and snapshots of their experience on this rock with us.
No matter if they have responded to our weekly prompt, or posted on their own topics, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate thoughtfulness on chain! We hope you will consider taking the time to check their writing out and support their work! You may even make a new friend. ✌️
Love, February. by @jhymi
I shouldn’t bow to stereotypes. I’m sure by the time the month is over, everyone would practically be sick of love and the various connotations and placed/misplaced meanings people would give it. But can I help it? I’m a lover girl by nature and as much as I find some aspects of this month irritating, I can’t wait to see and experience this month of love. Through my eyes, the eyes of my loved ones and even through the eyes of absolute strangers
Strike When the Iron is Cold by @olujay
Something about emotions is that they can drive us to places that we may not intend to go when they're not controlled. When experiencing intense anger, for example, one is likely to say or do things that they normally wouldn't when they're in their right sentences. In such moments, responding the right way is a good move, and an even better one is to know just when to respond. While it may sound counterintuitive to not take advantage when an opportunity presents itself—striking when the iron is hot—you realize that the idea in itself may have to be approached differently and more tactfully in dealing with people and their emotions. When words spoken land on the recipient the moment they are experiencing an influx of uncontrolled emotions, regardless of whether it is the truth, they might not exactly process it well or, even worse, look at it through the lens of their feelings
Mi Diario: 2 febrero 2025 // My Diary: February 2 2025 by @palomap3
Hola querido hiver. Sigo con el proceso de recuperación de la gripe que me mantuvo inactiva durante casi una semana entera. Escribo estas líneas nada más llegar a casa del primer paseo en condiciones que he podido dar desde entonces. Teníamos una mañana de domingo espectacular, con el sol brillando en el cielo despejado y engañando el frío del ambiente. Apetecía caminar sin prisa, aprovechando para respirar el aire de la calle y sentir un poco más limpios los pulmones
Better talk to yourself. by @inuke
Now, this is one of the topics I shouldnt talk about. If you know me almost 90% of my blogs are filled with self talk. I mean what me and inuke discuss mostly. And now If I start advising people on self talk that would make me a hypocrite. And I am okay with being called a hypocrite
Three Tunes Tuesday - All About Chris Brown by @beeeee
Been a while since I wrote here, so pardon me to wish everyone “A Happy New Year! ”. It's been a busy year, most especially last month. In January, I had to do something important so I had to focus on it. Multitasking doesn’t work for me, especially when one of my workloads is very important and has a deadline that requires a positive result
A Country Walk and the Clarifying Lens of Time by @alohaed
(Image source wrestled from Grok with a remarkably long essay) A Walk to Clarify the Thoughts It is a chilly Monday morning in my corner of rural North Carolina. 44 degrees °F or about 6.7 °C, for the Europeans and Canadians. Rumor has it that President Trump imposed tariffs, not for economic reasons but to force Canadians to use miles, pounds, and Fahrenheit "Freedom Units"; your deciliters and megagrams are just a bit too much. Silliness of course. I found as a young soldier that our morning physical training seemed to spur the mind some and drive out mental clutter
The mystery of life by @intishar
I always say that life is mysterious, and it makes life unpredictable. There is no guarantee everything will go according to plan. One day's experience (experience of today) is enough to understand the thing. In the early morning I woke up with the plan to go to town, and after that I was supposed to go to university to attend some lectures. One lecture was very important for me, and so I was determined to attend the class
Progress and Perfection - Working on to draw the line in between. || LOH Community Contest #223 by @rem-steem
The question of this week's contest caught me off guard. I felt like someone was pointing at me because it was so relatable. I often do unnecessary things to make it perfect and overlook what needs more attention. Then I saw @joanstewart, who asked the question, and I thought, well, as a woman, she must know how women are. We women can read each other from another corner of the room, let alone this small thin one, right?
A Day Filled With Mixed Emotions! by @luchyl
I'm supposed to be excited today; for the fact that it's Sunday, a day of the Lord which we're to rejoice and be glad. But sadly, I feel off, kind of numb disconnected from my emotions. I'm experiencing a mix of emotions loneliness, fear, anxiety, anticipation but I'm struggling to know which one dominates. I'm having a hard time pinpointing the specific feeling, and that's the worst part of the whole thing. It's just weird, and I don't understand why I feel this way
Being an Extra in a Main Character's World || From Dislike to Admiration by @whatmidesays
There are two sides to a coin, there are two sides to a tunnel, and likewise, every story has two perspectives. I met this girl in school, and to be honest, I disliked her from our first few encounters. It wasn’t outright disgust or anything extreme, but rather a frustrating kind of dislike. Let me give you a backstory. Firstly, before I resumed classes, I had missed the first class she and my other coursemates attended
