Judging Period Week 18: MemeHive Theme Curation Contest

No idea how to make the selection process of eligible articles shorter. After several minutes of retrieving the announcement for the curation contest, finally I am glad to see my post. Too many posts are shown on the hiveve.me front end. Many tribes are using the hashtag meme.

@ladyaryastark's article about PEPE power-up day is the only article I saw in the PeakD MemeHive community eligible for this week's contest.

The second article is from @grandpapulse, a collection of headlines that are considered hot issues this week in crypto. Among these issues, what caught my attention the most is the idea of incentivizing education via blockchain by LERN360. This reminds me of the article just published by my father about the Mira Network. Both projects share the same educational goals. I agree that introducing the idea of incentives and on-chain credentialing will disrupt traditional education systems. I am not just sure how long it will take for us to see such disruption.

I uphold "the first five tags rule," meaning #meme must be included in the first five tags in your post. Even though you published your article near the day of the announcement, I will skip it when I see the guideline isn't followed. However, if your post is exceptional, I can dismiss this rule.

The third article is from @elopinky. She wrote about transforming cooking from a tedious household chore into a space to foster connections with friends and neighbors.

The fourth post serves as a good reminder when things in your life are turning out not as you expected. @princessluv talks about our interpretation of particular events that triggers an emotional response. If we learn to distinguish between our interpretation and the event itself, this would give us peace and an opportunity for personal growth. The traffic and breakup examples she used are common experiences that many can relate to.

The last article is a very emotional one. I don't know @mintymile's story. I am not sure if it is just my first time stumbling upon her article. I have to check her previous post to know where she is coming from.

If I understand her post correctly, it appears to me that she just suffered a romantic breakup and, at the same time, her father's health crisis. That's not easy. It reminds me of a painful past brought on by both financial and emotional breakdown. Just one of these could cause sleepless nights and indescribable suffering. To experience them both, we would no longer wonder if someone would think that life seems not fair and cruel.

I could relate to the first half of this paragraph:

The emotional turmoil that follows the collapse of a romantic relationship can be overwhelming. However, in time, the heart heals, becoming stronger and nurturing a wiser soul, more open to the right kind of love from the right person.

Not sure about that "more open" part.

In the end, I admire her resiliency, and I am glad to know that she found strength from the support of her loved ones.

As for her eligible post for the curation contest, the story is about rekindling her writing passion through the creation of a heartfelt thank-you card for a surgeon who saved her father's life.

Those two articles were not easy to read. Even though @mintymile's content is deeply personal, both her writing style and image preparation are very creative.

Thanks to all the above contributors for sharing your thoughts and experiences.

The winners will be announced tomorrow!

More power to the MemeHive and the Pepe tribes!
