I think it's a bit hard to recover from depression without outside help
Indeed it is, but the person experiencing the depression needs to do most of the work, no one can do that for them. Like you say, "the willingness to not only move on from it but to get help from others."
We have to accept reality sometimes
We should be accepting of it all the time I think, meaning that we should acknowledge and accept that what is happening is happening, that way we can add some input and influence it. Living in denial isn't going to be much of a life.
Exactly, it's in their hands but us as outsiders should also be there whey they reach out. That's usually what we can only do
Yes yes maybe i shouldn't have used the word sometimes oops. What you said is what I actually wanted to lean more towards.
I think I got what you meant but was just commenting to clarify I guess; I know it's sometimes/often difficult to put into words exactly what we're thinking. It's all good.
Exactly you are on point with this. It used to be worse but it's slowly getting better since I've been writing on hive
It's a great way to learn, never be afraid to write and always be open to asking questions about it if you're unsure of anything, that's the best way to learn.
Yes you are right! A lot of people are afraid to write and afraid to ask questions. It's actually not that hard to get into blogging on hive but they need to be able to have the willingness to try and learn.
I'm actually going to be doing a lesson on blogging for gamers that play Splinterlands. Going to teach them to blog here on hive hopefully they see the potential. I've already gotten a few to start like @zactian and @jadedaniel
Ok, that sounds interesting. I don't read Splinterlands posts, I'm not at all interested, but it could help them get started right?
Yes I hope that it will be the start from there.
well I will be teaching them like the basics and explaining the upvoting downvoting HBD etc. Basically everything they would need to know to understand how it works. I will also probably provide links for markdowns etc to them to be successful.
Will push them to start with an introduction post. then maybe after that they will write splinterlands stuff but hopefully they will branch out to other communities from there once they are comfortable? This is actually kind of how I started but my intro post was horrible because nobody guided me when I first started.
Whether they want to follow thru or not is up to them but I won't force them too. If they don't have the heart to do it, there's no point in me trying to teach or push them towards writing on hive as there needs to be a little bit of passion for writing. I just hope they can genuinely write and enjoy sharing their story and thoughts, writing quality content and engaging with the community.
It's actually amazing the networking that can be done and all the people you can get to know and make friends with. They can also build a side income hopefully to reinvest a portion into Hive power or splinterlands wahtever they choose to. Most of them are from like PH so the amount they can earn on hive could probably raise a child from what ive been told.
The more people we can onboard I think it will be better for the future of hive as long as they are contributing to the community.
thanks shawn for pushing me to start blogging. ill really try to write something up if its my free time. have a pleasant day!
