Hive turns Five by @snook

Hive turns five, and what a wild ride it has been. In the , they made a contest asking you to write about your favorite Hive project. A post like this seems a simple task. All you have to do is think about the project that most impacted you while on Hive. I could write about the secret group I know, which is not a formal group but a fellowship of people you can call on to help a newbie you find on Hive

Just stop, and think by @nanixxx

Let's talk about energies. No, my life is not perfect. I don't want it to be perfect either, it would bore me. Although perfection could be approached also in terms of energy. But what can I tell you about this

The Paradox of Overfamiliarity || Navigating Familial Love by @whatmidesays

Funny how coincidences work. Just this afternoon, I watched a reel about what happens to astronauts when they come back to Earth after being in space for quite some time. It said that it takes them approximately two weeks to one month to learn how to walk again. Some astronauts faint often, while others forget about gravity, dropping things mid air, expecting them to float. They do this subconsciously, by the way

THE SPACE BETWEEN US by @hopestylist

Leaving home and not knowing when you’d return can be really scary sometimes especially if you have a beautiful family you will be leaving behind. I’m very sure those astronauts that returned after several months must have even signed a contract just incase they don’t make it back alive. Just like those astronauts and many others who have had reasons to leave their loved ones for a long time, I have also been there before. Well, mine wasn’t for something that could take my life or something bad. It was the time when I had to complete a one year academic program

𝑰 𝑾𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝑩𝒆 𝑳𝒆𝒇𝒕 𝑨𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆... 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝑾𝒉𝒚? by @amiegeoffrey

Why do people isolate themselves? This is a thought provoking question. One thing I'm certain of is, there's surely no smoke without fire, as many people react to life base on their experience. Nobody love to be misunderstood. Many people go back into their shell once they notice they are misunderstood

Their love keep me going by @repayme4568

During my one year national service, i was madly in love, it was the reason I refused to process my documents for the first batch, I waited for the second, because it all seems to me like the two batches were the same, and all i was thinking of was, "it was just three months difference"? The deal was, I thought about how I was going to coop in the camp while she will be where she was all alone, and anytime I am on this thoughts, my heart was doing as if it was not my own, because I was loosing control, and time's I stared at her, she did not know what was going through my mind, how difficult it was for me, knowing I was going to go to another place, and she will not be there with me, or around me. Therefore, at the end of the day, it makes me forget about the first batch, and then stick around for some more time, to gather courage. When my brother asked me, "what's up" trying to know when I was going to orientation camp, because they saw my course mate's in camp, I thought of hiding what I was battling with from him, but, it can as well be not convinced, when a brother wants to lie, because he as already knows what was going on. To be sincere, he make it so easy for me to queue in, and talk directly why I decided not to go for the first batch, yet, he let me knows that, he understand how I feels quite well, but I should not missed the coming batch

Being grateful for simple pleasures. by @consciouscat

A run that went well. Seeing familiar faces at a big shopping centre. My partner holding my hand. Watching small children take in the world around them. Discovering a smiley face on my soy iced latte

Miles Apart, Hearts Together by @abenad

When I heard about the two astronauts who just returned home from space after 9 months, the first thing that came to mind was how? We all know it’s impossible to survive in space for that long unplanned, but I found out they even lived better than some of us on earth. Lol Anyway, we’re already in March, and I think I’ve traveled eight times already. I love traveling, and I get happy when I have to leave home, especially for long periods. It wasn’t like that in the beginning, though

Experiment. Getting Paid to Interact with Others! by @quark.top

Living life with others is complicated! How about complicating it further by paying people to live life with others? Source: Creator SanetNieuwoudt on Pixabay Are trees not wonderful examples of life? Stable, grounded, deeply rooted with long spans of life, for most types of them? I think so and loved this illustration of one surrounded by images which altogether imply prosperity

Interwaving by @riverflows

This morning I didn't drive down the dark country roads alone Jamie came with me, taking the wheel as he is want to do, as men do because they believe it's safer, as if their wives can't drive. It irritates me, but like many things in a marriage, you tolerate it because of all the good things. The independent, fierce one inside me wants to drive, but it's not worth the argument. If he wants to drive, he can drive. Whatever
