I love it when I get to celebrate progress, and doing it with a whole lot of other people joined together to form a community is huge progress in my opinion, and it is an honour to be part of the amazing writers who hive learners community have groomed right from the humble start till this very moment.

Starting my journey on hive and not sure of where I was in for or what I could possibly offer, which had me leave my blog dormant for a while not until I got encouraged by my sister who also served as my onboarder to get verified on hiver learners discord server and become a verified member which was the requirement to join in in the weekly featured contest, to improve my writing and engagement skill and as the story goes, it's been a success since then, not only did this community groom me, it gave me genuine hive friends from the active engagement, and also never seizes to support us its members.

100th Weeks of commitment and progress is not an easy feat and with every bit of celebration, so congratulations to the hive learners founders and moderators for their hard work, they all deserve an accolade, and to all the amazing writers here, making the community lively, always showing up with interesting entries fir every weekly edition, congrats and well done to us all.

I thought of a title to give this post and I couldn't get the statement "You were there" out of my head and I know why, well this post is about going back in time to the post we wrote that was emotional, tough and easy for us to write about, and I remembered certain events which some weeks edition evoked out of us, some were happy memories, sad ones and the ones that have us grateful because we could pen down that moment. There are some times I would be presently going through that situation, and then a topic comes up for us to write about them, definitely, the words might be difficult at first, but when it starts, it just keeps flowing, and bringing them out of the heart in writing form gives a therapeutic relief to me, I don't know if any other writers feel same, so without much ado, let me take us back the memory lane. Starting with

The Emotional topic

Surviving financial struggles and depression

One thing difficult for people to talk about is their trying moments, especially when faced with depression, if you know me physically, I hardly talk about my innermost worries, and I faced the same struggle with this topic, but finally let it all out, and I was amazed on how done other people reached out to me, finding hope in my story, and I learned that sharing about the bad times gives hope to someone who might probably be facing the same challenge, but reading how you overcame your struggles gives hope to them, and since then I've learned to share hope through my struggles and winning and I hope someone out there stays hopeful in whatever challenge they face.

The difficult topic

We were asked to write about the kind of hot we would create if given the chance, I almost ditched this topic at the last minute because I wasn't sure of what to create. After all, when I write, I like to relate my writing with my experience and um not so techy-inclined but as usual, I read other's post in times like this and got inspired by a recent event prior that day, and the words flowed clearing the writer's block, and I felt very emotional about what I wrote on this topic as well, you can check it out.

The easy topic

Taking a stand amidst financial pressure

I wrote about this just of recently and I think it is the topic that took the shortest time for me to write about, probably because I was in the heat of the moment, pressures here and there, trying to clear my head, I checked the contest announcement channel on discord and we were asked to write about the pressures we currently face, you see why I say, hive learners weekly edition is always there with us through every emotions, and yea, I poured it all out, maybe because of the pressure, the anger, I needed to rant at that moment, give learners weekly edition came through.

This post is already longer than I planned for it to be, so I won't be going into details about more topics, but trust me there were very many emotional ones for me writing about them, Hive learners weekly edition has qualified as an online diary for me looking through the memories made so far, so

Thank you Hive learners!❤❤

And happy 100th week of dedication.
