I'm sorry about the passing of your friend. Losing someone close hurts, and it can take a long time for the pain to dull. I pray you're able to find peace and comfort.
It's certainly a challenge writing daily. I agree that simply putting out a post praising Hive each day may garner lots of upvotes, but I'd take no pride or pleasure in it. Do what brings you enjoyment and fulfillment. That's what counts.
Thank you. He was a brave guy, but wanted no viewing, as he wanted us to remember him as he was, a man full of life who was always there when needed.
My Twitter DMs show that (when I used to share them), people were finding my Hive content through Google and Twitter "X" search. I also write for other platforms, one of which I'm a "whale" of sorts on and the renumeration is more than worth my time. Hive is a wonderful writing exercise for me ,which I leverage in order to improve my writing whereever I share it.
