How To Have A Friend Before 8 AM Tomorrow? by @jhymi

You all know that I more or less see Hive as my unofficial diary, so it was more or less set in stone that I’ll talk about this. I know we’re not supposed to leave too much on the internet. Digital footprint coming back to bite you in the ass, and all of that. But I’d already given you guys the first part of the story sometime last month, so this is basically the continuation of that story. I’ve been quite unlucky with physical female friends

Could I be saying this any different? by @honeydue

It seems lately, there's so many good voices warning against the dangers of being excessively agreeable, there really is no excuse for it anymore. All the disease, misfortune and plain unpleasant situations it creates, and yet, in spite of it all, I find myself slipping back into old habits. I'm a bit too nice when I don't catch myself in time. Of course, it doesn't help that we (especially women) live in a world that tells you to victimize yourself instead of asking where could I have set better boundaries? How could I have expressed myself more correctly?

Walking Off My Worries, or how a 5km Strolls Heal a Heavy Heart by @borniet

By: A Guy Who’s Trying Not to Emotionally Eat an Entire Pizza (or two) Let me get real for a minute, like, really real. Life sucker punched sometimes. Not a little jab, not a light “Oops, spilled coffee on your shirt” type of moment. No, sometimes it's the emotional equivalent of getting hit by a motivational speaker’s flying chair during a TED Talk on resilience. Stress

Sunday Reflection: The Unlikely Life of a “Generational Misfit" by @denmarkguy

Being a "misfit" is an interesting piece of terminology. I'm willing to bet that most of us — at one time or another — I felt like we were a misfit in some way. So what does it even mean to be a misfit? The closest I've been able to get to a reasonable explanation is that whatever it is you are or whatever it is you believe or whatever it is you feel or think, it requires further explanation in order for people to relate to it. There are questions

𝑨 𝑻𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑶𝒇 𝑻𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 by @amiegeoffrey

My profession have taught me patience more than I could have imagined. I have worked with different clients and through their attitude, I've learned to be tolerant. We were taught that "customers are always right". (Even when they are wrong) we were also taught that we take the blame for everything even when it's not our fault. Two weeks ago, I met a client that tested my patient

The Ultimate Reason by @abenad

I had to do a little reflection after reading the current prompt, and only one thing kept coming to me: support. At this point, anyone around me who knows me very well can tell without thinking twice that providing support is my forte. And it’s not something I even do consciously. I grew up in a very supportive family, and while we didn’t have it all, we still made sure we had a near perfect life by supporting each other with little things. I remember how I never had to worry about anything, and my brothers also knew they had me with whatever they needed

Thoughtful Thursday Prompt #43 by @mercmarg

Greetings to all. Why are you here? The question suggested for this week comes incorporated as part of us at every stage of our lives. Usually, we are asked why we came to this world, the discordant thing is that they begin to ask this question at ages even as children and adolescents when I consider or was my case, I had no idea what to answer, in those times teachers expected great answers and we students our action was to find that I answer to look good with him or her. These are student experiences, sometimes I wondered why do they ask that question?

Echoes at the End of the Table by @kristabel123

When I was younger, I used to love the idea of family dinners the kind you see in movies. Everyone gathered around the table, passing food, sharing stories, laughing at things that probably weren't even funny. There was something comforting about it, something that said "we're okay". But that's not how meals looks like in my house. The idea of eating together isn't as simple as it appears in my house

A family tradition that unites us by @iquo

Hello everyone, trust we are all having a pleasant week. I want to share my own experience and thoughts on this week's prompt about families eating together. In a world that is fast paced with a lot of distractions, eating together as a family is a culture that is quickly getting lost on us. Back then, I remember that we always had many opportunities to eat together as a family no matter how little we had to eat. This happened mostly in the evenings when we were all back together from our daily activities and weekends when everyone was home

Ten Years In A Tradition / Thoughtful Thursday Prompt #42 by @ebonymama

Tradition is the people's way of life, how they think, behave and relate with one another. Before marriage i have come across families who does not eat together as husband and wife, one happened to be my Aunt and her husband, eating together was not their routine, they can be in house the same time, but eat separately but that doesn't stop their love for each other, but now that am married, looking back at them, now i have my observations which am going to tell you But ever since i got married, i eat with the same plate, and on the same table with my husband. The thoughtfulness of this question just made me remember a very funny incident that took place some weeks after our wedding, in the year 2014, Few weeks into our marriage everything was just going smoothly, in the morning we will eat and leave for work, evening we are back again eat dinner together, because my husband doesn't keep late, but a day came he stayed about one hour late from his normal time and i was like oh! Let me eat, after all my Aunt does not wait for her husband, it was not long i finished eating, he came in and said to me, honey bring food let's eat, and I served him and went inside, he called me and asked me, are you ok, why are you not eating? I replied him, i have eaten and he uttered no word
