Most of my posts are reflections on life and my experiences living it, with the intent to understand why we do the things we do and whether we can improve upon them. These cover many various topics, but often I find myself not having a community to put some of them in, as they don't quite fit anywhere. So, I made a community.
C/Reflections
A community to reflect on life, love, death and everything between
The aim is for it to be a place where people can reflect on life and experience, as well as join into the conversations with others along their own journey. It can get philosophical or psychological, it can be a cathartic outpouring of emotion or a question aimed at the audience to help bring clarity and next steps in difficult situations. It can be positive, negative or neutral.
Whatever you choose
But, there are some rules and there might be more coming.
Rules:
- No Plagiarism
- No Reposts
- Keep it in English (mostly)
- No Spamming
- Answer comments
- Engage with others
- Put in some effort
- Don't be a dick
Essentially, the last one sums it all up and any to come;
Don't be a dick.
I have no idea if people will be interested in adding their perspectives on life here, as a lot of people don't want to be personal on Hive, but I do think there is some space for it, if only as a bucket for my own content that doesn't fit elsewhere.
Curation
I am not going to reward anything just because it is in the community, but those who do use it well and add some effort and value, are likely to get some votes as well as if consistent, some follows too perhaps. Hopefully, some others who might follow my work might check out the community from time to time also.
New Series
I will also be using it to add a new series I am planning to build starting from yesterday, where I ask a more philosophical question from the audience, add my own thoughts and then see where it leads, like this:
https://peakd.com/hive-166408/@tarazkp/reflection-fart-or-piss
Why?
I believe that one of the values of Hive is being incentivized to explore our world at greater depth and an opportunity to reflect on what we find in order to build our place in it. Writing daily has become a massive part of my mental health regimen and I think that if everyone spent a little time writing their mind each day, the world would become a better place.
Let's see what happens.

You knocked it out of the park with this one. What a beautiful shot.
Cheers - a local lake view :)
I'm a bit late to the party as I see the opening was two months ago, but I'm going to try to contribute to growing this community, by directing users here. I might write some posts too.
Good to know we have such a community, so thanks Taraz for setting it up. Adding it to my list.
(Rule No. 8 is very interesting 😂)
No worries and thanks for the support here!
If you come across any rule 8, let me know :)
My pleasure and I sure will :)
Sounds like a cool idea for a community, especially for your posts, which are perfect for it. I'll look to contribute at some stage. Best of luck with it.
Should be some fun :)
It's a neat little idea you have. I kinda like it😎 might come in handy every now and then.
Would definitely get a join from me😎
Get going on it :)
I've done that a few times, created a community coz I couldn't find anywhere to post what I wanted to post. It's getting a bit out of hand as I now have 3.5 communities 🙂
I got a feeling you might get a bit of waffle in your community
Precisely!! Cathartic.... :D
a short post?
What happened to the real tarazkp?I will check this out maybe I will find something interesting here. I guess it is time to lower my voting percentage because at 50 it will drain too fast.
I set mine at 25 normally on posts and adjust up when needed. I am not sure how popular this community will be, but I think that those who use it consistently to reflect on their lives will learn something about themselves at least :)
On the road of my reflections, happy for this new window of Mr. Taraz gratitude
Feel free to add your own reflections on life in the community too :)
Thank you so much, Mr. Taraz, I have so much on my mind and in my heart that sometimes I write about a situation that deserves a deep reflection and I didn't know where to put it ... Now I know the way! Infinite gratitude for this space to continue growing
Now you have a place for sure :)
✍🏻
I already know that this along with the weekend community will be my favorite... and I like many communities.
Among other things, in my opinion the rules are perfect and I reflect myself!
I think I will publish my first post soon😉
Welcome in! I am glad that you will use it because I always enjoy reading your reflections and opinions on things :)
Thank you, you are always so kind 🤗
Can you believe that immediately after reading your post and joining the community a thousand reflections and thoughts started buzzing in my head... I think I could write a dozen posts just with thoughts done in ten minutes heh heh! 😅
However, I also look forward to your other posts and reflections, now I'm addicted! 😉
Make sure you write them down and take good notes, so you don't lose them. I used to keep them in a digital notebook and had a couple hundred on the go :D
ah HA! I've been wondering about this, about how you can come up with subject matter several times a dang day.
Joined the community! Will look forward to create something and read interesting stuff there.
Best wishes for you.!
Enjoy and have some fun with it too!
Just joined the this new community and I will try to become a active member or content creator of this community because I personally love the topic of life
Glad to hear it and welcome in :)
🤝❤️
I think this is awesome space to share thing inside our mine or i might can call it as reflection . Personally i also looking forward this kind of community to reflect myself which i didnt find any of it . I end up post it on my blog without any community.
Thanks for making this cool space to hang out , im surely will become regular visitor in this community . Cheers. !PIZZA
Feel free to post in there and see what you discover about the world, others and yourself :)
!LUV all the way :p.
Cheers. !PIZZA

All the best! Have subscribed and will check in once in a while!
Looking forward to seeing you in there :)
Lol.
Always needs to be mentioned :)
Indeed...there are many; you know, those that think they can post off-topic things in a community and when addressed for it go off like little babies.
Yep, people think that freedom of action means free from consequence.
Yeah, but I'm Mr. Consequence and I don't mind stopping by on those who need a visit. 🤣
:D
Awesome initiative you’ve taken by launching a new community in hive. I wish more success for the authors of the community you’ve created dear sir Taraz!
Hopefully it is a nice space for people to rest their minds and learn to grow.
I wish I could be a part but hive is no longer a safe place for me to practice blogging as I'm a victim of getting downvote because I'm active and successful in steemit LOL. Pity to those enemies 😂
People tend not to like cross-posting in Steemit, due to the history there. I tend to agree, especially when it is a copy paste of the same content here.
I didn’t copy paste same posts here and there, it happened to me brutally 2 months ago and I lost more than $100+ in hive and those were hive exclusive posts. Later I start posting regular cross post but still not the same that I post in steemit. All I believe, taking revenge by attacking innocent users or authors is sinful and I'm a victim. Its like war between two States and innocent citizens were killed.
This community is so exciting, and I so love it. Sharing reflections in life feels so good, and I wish to create one. Have a great time, Sir. !LUV !PIZZA
Hopefully you add some great topics to reflect on :)
Thank you for the wonderful remarks, Sir. Yes I am joining in your amazing community and my salute to a brilliant person like you as always. Have a great time and keep safe.

Great initiative. Many people need a place to speak about their experiences and emotions, Many can do it easily with friends and with human contact. Other who find it difficult can do it online because they feel safer. In such a community the ones that sharing and the ones that are reading can take courage , ideas etc from each other
This is what I am hoping for, where people will get some ideas and maybe even apply some of them to improve their lives, even if just a little. :)
🙏🙏🙏. I will join and do my best to vote and incentivise others to post !
Cheers mate, it is greatly appreciated :)
I guess I will love this community so well!
Welcome.
The creation of this community is very good news.
What I see is that the tag reflections is used in the #shadowhunters community in the Reflection hunters contest and it will be a bit of a hodgepodge to do some searching for those of us newbies like me. 😅😅😅😅😅
Best regards
Ah, that is a good point. I will remove it from the tag selection so people don't use it much :)
Maybe, #reflect
Yeah, might add that in
This seems like my kind of place, I find in other communities most of my posts are just reflections on life. :^)
Welcome in then!
I will check it out. Sounds interesting.
Enjoy. There are lots of people on Hive with some interesting perspectives, so it might be good :)
You have taken a very nice initiative. Where people can share their happy feelings or life reflections. Hope it will be very interesting.
Will you create some posts in there too?
At first when I saw the name of the community, I thought it would be about photography, and perhaps art too. The word has so many meanings :) ...
I hope it helps a lot of people, and that those who drop in are both respectful and provide a lot of insight!
I want it to be a bit of a reflection on all things - thoughts searching for or uncovering a bit of meaning of life kind of thing. I reckon good photography does similar, as well as art.
One of the good things about communities is, being able to mute those who abuse them :)
True, especially when they just don't know when to stop, or what no means...
I like to do fractals, and a few of those came out as really nice reflection types. Would something like that be welcome?
Seems to be an issue these days.
This is more the philosophical and psychological reflections on life - but there is the art communities that would welcome those I believe :)
I think it's always been a problem, but in the past consequences were a lot more harsh. That tended to discourage a lot of deliberate rule breaking.
Yeah, I usually either add it to a collage for Let's Make a Collage, or put it in Alien Art :)
!PIZZA
There are so many great art communities.
Yes, and communities for tons of other things too :) It was what made Hive posts so easy to navigate when I first got here 🙌 Just choose what subject you're in the mood to browse, click and done :) ...
!PIZZA
Reminded me of a song that I loved in the year (1970) when I left school.
Reflections of my life, by Marmalade, a Scottish band.
Reblogged for support and all strength with this!
Never heard of Marmalade!
I think it was a bit before your time.
Very likely :)
About time. Is this the place for all our daily reading needs? Like, all very long posts? 😁
I was going to name it TL:DR
I often wonder if I can write a post in English without knowing English. Will people understand me? Has translation technology reached such a high level?
I understand all you say in comments at least, so you are doing well enough :)
That’s awesome man, subscribes for sure! I tend to write reflection posts at least once a week I think, maybe more or less but I do love them as I think they are certainly helpful and important as we go along this journey we call life.
I think dropping in once a week would be a decent cadence for something like this for most people. Hopefully it is helpful :)
Congrats my friend! It is a subject about which one on HIVE can write many posts. I will try to write and support written posts as well. I think you should create a curatioan trail in the future, thus you will be able to help supporting posts as well as curating.
I curate pretty much everything manually, so won't make a curation trail for this. Curation trails that vote blindly don't tend to encourage the kinds of behaviors I would like to se more of.
I just subscribed. This is a good one @tarazkp creating a safe space where people can lay a lot on the table and meet people with similar interest is amazing😃
Let's see if people use it :)
Look forward to reading, good idea sometimes a circle doesn't fit the square peg!
I often find myself stuck unable to find a place for things so this might help :)
Always good to have additional communities to support, a place to share more.
I like it that there are various options out there and a little differentiation to encourage exploration of what to write.
Many experiences in life to reflect on, possibly link to similarities through history, now our history being told.
We experience so many reflections in life but sharing it in a way to interact with people would be really awesome.
Get creating!
Sounds good. I'm not sure how well any of my posts will fit in. Mostly I've been writing about haiku or Japanese history/culture for the past 5 1/2 years. But I have been trying to branch out lately, so I will subscribe to this one and see if any reflecting topics come to mind when I sit down to do my daily writing.
Perhaps you can add your reflections on the journey through poetry over the years - I am sure you have learned a lot.
Oooh this is cool! Maybe it is the kick in the pants I have needed to become more consistent with my writing. So far the entirely of my hive content has been an intro or two, plus some recaps from my Splinterlands brawls and maybe one article about my morning routine.
Reflection seems like something much more accessible to me, when I can share my galavating Sagittarius spirit and my erratic Gemini behavior. Welcome to the shit show!
I hope so! :D
Oh-oooo.
I feel like that last rule is present in every community I'm in XD (definitely in the ones I moderate, though Home Edders one doesn't state it as such because it's supposed to be family friendly XD)
Unfortunately it is needed far too often in the communities - but I have had it as a rule for a very long time :D
I do have to wonder though, do the people that the rule would apply to realise that they're who the rule is made for/aimed at?
I would assume not. But perhaps, it reminds others to be on the lookout too.
Am i allowed to post videos to this community, or is it strictly written posts only?
Videos are fine too - as long as there is some effort :)
Thank you.
The whole point of my life and reflections is to respect my dick. How am I gonna join this community? :P But, I will try not to. Great job creating a community. Looking forward to reading the posts.
:D
I would like to extend my warmest wishes to the new community of Reflections. May this be a place where members can come together to share ideas, support each other, and grow as individuals. Here's to a thriving and successful community!
I hope the new time brings us something good. I always appreciate your support to users
Cheers.

Nice :)
This is massive, I have followed you for some time now and most of your post if not all centres on reflections and having a community called #reflections is the way forward. Thanks for coming with this.
I think I need this community when I want to self-reflect and evaluate my life. Thanks for creating reflections.
I like this. I’ve always loved your posts because they are just simple daily musings but they aren’t shallow. I write the same kind of stuff but I never know where to put it, so thanks for starting this.
Muchas gracias, hace falta este tipo de comunidad, dónde se pueda pensar, y reflexionar, dar consejos, hacer amistades.
Finally a space to mutter. 🤍
Thanks for creating this community. Was searching for exactly this after writing a post this morning. Looking forward to engaging and for what will come in the future.
Latecomers signing in a month plus later... What a solid idea of a home for minds that won't stop buzzing. As an overthinker who regulates herself by writing her truth, this feels like a good place to hide in plain sight.
Thank you, Taraz.
I’m new on hive,it’s not easy finding the right community to post what is in your mind. I was scrolling through different communities last night and I was so excited to see a community based on reflections. So I thought it’ll be suitable for most of my post and I’ve even posted one already,hehe.Thanks for creating this community, I promise to be good.
Great idea. I've been meaning to create content regularly and I find the content I write about my life experiences and thoughts are well received. I enjoy writing posts as well as I relive the experiences. Thanks for creating the channel.
I actually wrote my post and then went on to find a suitable channel to post it in. That's how I came across your channel.
I find you two months later, do I have space here? Your idea is sensational! Let's see if I fit in...
I think I just joined a community but I speak more Spanish and I don't know if they will accept me.
