You wrote a very thoughtful and insightful response, @jcrodriguez. I agree with you and find it sad that the Hive community has suffered.

A dark tale of pain and helplessness- a gothic story really, the horror being the heartlessness of some individuals who cause others such grief. Well written!

Hi Eric, wish you the best on your book launch on Amazon today! Been through it myself so I know that excitement and anticipation. It's one thing to post on Hive but a totally different experience to devote

Thank you, @nikv for the support. Like all content creators on HIVE, we covet feedback and appreciate every comment or vote.

I like the vehicle and the technology but taking into consideration AI and the myriad of personal devices that enhance self-sufficiency it makes me wary of going into a world where we don't really need

Thanks to the curangel team and @nikv for selecting my post and upvoting it. I've been on this site a long time but being recognized never gets old. Thank you!

I didn't see this post until now, 2 days later, but it resonated with me - I could have written this. It's the story of my life. I had dozens of friends at my wedding, some in the wedding party, I don't

Thanks, @porqpin -I appreciate the feedback

I'm glad to see someone actively encouraging authors!

Hi Allen,. A good post and very honest I might add. I'm glad to see hawking your wares at Krogers paid off for you. It's always a matter of balance and we all tend to spin our wheels sometimed especia;ly

Happy Birthday, Alan! You have to be careful nowadays there are so many scammers ou there. How have you been and what happened to yoiur eye? Nothing serious I hope

Hi Eric, I know that feeling — it never gets old compared to other things in our lives and still stays fresh in the mind, at least, for me. It's a kind of birth from your own flesh and soul and I know

Thank you!

I totaly agree,@proto26 - I really appreciate your insightful comment - Sorry I missed it. I guess I'm so used to not getting comments on my stories that I sometimes forget to look, lol

I like your attitude and commitment to the site. I feel the same way and have stuck with it for a long time, as have you, and not powered down or given up. It's hard some days when I get no feedback and
