By conveying our deeper thoughts on Hive, we can uplift and support each other across the blockchain. This week we had some wonderful authors visit to share their life reflections, wisdom, and snapshots of their experience on this rock with us.
No matter if they have responded to our weekly prompt, or posted on their own topics, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate thoughtfulness on chain! We hope you will consider taking the time to check their writing out and support their work! You may even make a new friend. ✌️
This week Eric asked us to write about our life purpose. Do you know what yours is? Mine is really clear to me, in hindsight it has been there all along (though I didn't always know how to explain it as clearly as I do now). In post he posed this question: "If you had to summarize your purpose in life in one sentence, what would it be and why"?
Seeing my profile inactive for a very long time reminded me that I should write an update about myself before writing something else. I have been on and off lately; mostly took time for myself and stayed away from the blockchain and social media. I had plans but in the end, it didn't work out how I planned. A lot had happened and I was living in disappointment. I was mostly living with feelings of remorse, despise, and guilt
If someone asks you to describe yourself, how would you answer? Some might say, “I’m a doctor,” “I’m a lawyer,” or “I’m a business owner”. For me, I might say, “I’m a single mom of three kids. I have a degree in Tourism, though my current work is in a completely different field. I’m a breadwinner
As I've mentioned before, I like celebrating my birthday by being someplace else. It's the best party you can plan it doesn't require hefty organization, nor that you bust your ass cooking, cleaning, or designing some elaborate menu or a show and dance. It avoids the unpleasant, egotistic fuss of having people toast you or shower you with prezzies that a lot of us are looking to avoid. And it's bound to not be like the one you had the year before because no two trips ever are, even if they are in the same location. This year, I'm celebrating it (again) in Seville, though this time, along with my family
Yesterday started in a very funny way, though at first, it didn't seem like that. Things just happened in a flash that for a moment or so, I couldn't wrap my head around how I made such a mistake. It was an expensive one which almost ruined my day but... I never let the ruining part take shape. As humans, every day is a lesson for us, and however, we intend to take that lesson really matters
I’m beginning to learn a lot of things recently and in as much as I love it for me, it’s a little overwhelming especially at this age. One of the things I’ve learned recently that I would like to share is that universal struggle. My sister was talking about her failed romantic relationship on the phone yesterday and I couldn’t help but eavesdrop because it was interesting. Apparently, the reason why it didn’t work out with the guy was because he was always talking about things he was going through. Knowing my sister as probably the best listener I’ve ever met and for her to say it out she got tired of always listening to him unpack his problems, then he probably overdid it
People do things for different motive, but regardless of your good motives of not wanting to outshine others when you are too shy to show up, better opportunities will pass you by. The world wouldn't wait for anyone, the clock keeps ticking and the world keeps evolving. I had a friend who hated to be in the limelight, she was very intelligent but hated to be seen. Others in class started taking advantage of her and they took praises for her handiwork. She didn't see it as a big deal until one day when someone actually copied her final project, and claimed it wasn't her work
Judgemental or not, there are times it can’t be helped that they’re being mistreated. If not being obvious from their looks, maybe from their attitude on showing expressions. It’s true, no one wants to be born like that or like them. No one has to blame but it’s just too pitiful for these children to be special. Yes, they need special treatment and more patience in understanding them
Cada mañana abro las ventanas para ver los colores del mundo. Al principio todo es oscuro pero de a poco van apareciendo las formas, y evoco las sensaciones de mi infancia, los sonidos de mi madre en la cocina, la radio que a esa hora sonaba música llanera, y la tenue oscuridad que va aclarando poco a poco. Figuro que ahora muchas cosas se han perdido, como los juguetes y los recuerdos, las idas y venidas a la escuela, ese andar constante y contar pasos para saber si en realidad estaba vivo. El amanecer sigue siendo espectacular. Sigo proyectando las sombras en el suelo, contando pasos y nubes hasta llegar a mi destino
Image is mine From my end of the world, it is often said that destiny can be delayed but can never be denied. Again, we also say that God's time is the best and that the ways of God are never the ways of man. We have the late bloomers who starts accomplising their heart desires later in life and we have the early bloomers who starts pretty early at a very young age. Regardless of our age my mom would always say that as long as there is life, there's hope. Personally, I am not where I want to be in life but I know that I will get there and the fact that I am an adult and responsible for myself, it's enough consolation that I am doing well for my age
