Have you ever had one of those days? I did.

Sometime Wednesday morning, I was scrolling through my notification, when I received this: @abh12345 mentioned you (@abh12345/re-abh12345-qcsq4z)

It was a contest he threw out there for all to join. He has some key phrases that he was looking for in your comments. Nobody knew what they were until they were out there. All you had to do was go to the post and he would calculate the scores and print them below your request. By the way, the subject was positivity and how much there was based on the phrases he selected. I am sure it was scientifically calculated as to which to use. It's Asher! @abh12345 Can you see him doing it any other way? I was actually surprised that I came so high up (high being relative to the scores as a whole) By the way, @jlufer won the 1st prize! Congratulations @jlufer! You truly are the kindest gentleman on Hive and it was well-deserved .

I was totally surprised when he put in another delegation for me coming in second. *That was a total surprise and was not planned. So, I want to say to you, Asher @abh12345 Thank you. Thank you very much. It was an unexpected surprise. I know it came out of your back pocket. It wasn't in the plan, I'm sure. It shows me that you give and give...and, yet, you still give more.

I just couldn't go to bed tonight without giving you a shoutout. You went above and beyond and I just want everyone (who doesn't already know this) the kind of person you are. Asher is responsible for a lot of things around here and although we all get a little down with the price of Hive, you have to admire the positivity that he peddles on the street.

This league is not based around financial rewards and relates to engagement.

Everyone currently on my master list has a chance here, including those powering down or dealing in delegations over the past couple of weeks. Only the top 100 scores are shown.

The score is made up of a simple formula which uses the following types of engagement:

The competition is friendly and friendships are made. So, if you are interested, click the link I sent and ask him to sign you up. Just leave a message in the comments section and he will get back to you! See you in the comment sections!

As always, there must be flowers to color my world. Always. #alwaysaflower

And just like that, this show is over! Come back tomorrow and we'll do it again. Thank you for visiting my post 💖 As always; kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.

they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.

later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,

"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
