It sounds like you know yourself quite well. As for me, sometimes I do, and other times not so much. I have no explanation for why you found my post; perhaps it was pure chance or some other forces at work—who can really say? But I'm glad you did. You seem very interesting. The hangout place I created is ready, but I need to take a leap of faith and make it live. It will always be free; I never want it to be anything else. When money or prestige come into play, I feel it won’t work out.
I don’t really like the cliché "two ears and one mouth," but sometimes, if the cap fits, perhaps it applies. It's certainly not always easy to listen, but I'm trying hard to be a better listener and to listen without judgment. I've had professionals and still do. Once, a therapist fell asleep during a session, and I stopped going.
Anyway, I intended to do less talking, lol. But seriously, I want to make the online meeting place available soon, as soon as I can get out of my own way and just launch it. I need to decide on the best way to protect it from being crashed—maybe a password that I only share with some or a sign-up process. I'm not sure what the best approach is yet. I sometimes get on Discord in the writing community. If you want to share any thoughts or ideas on how I might be able to roll out some spaces or just any thoughts or ideas, I am all ears (well, two ears)! LOL. Be safe out there, my friend. Oh, I also have the Kindness Community I was building, but ended up taking a few month away from Hive.
