Posts that brought back memories: 100th Edition.

It's an amazing achievement when a community is consistent with an initiative for so long. Some communities started an initiative and programme without a vision or direct purpose and when the team or organisers aren't focused or committed, it makes the community fold up. It is also an achievement when a community has large members who are dedicated and committed to making the community move forward through their cooperation and support. One of such communities on Hive is the Hive Learners community which has stood strong since its initiative for a long time.

This week, the community is celebrating a milestone which is their 100 weeks of consistent weekly editions which amounted to 300 topics to keep the community engaged. They have been dedicated to making sure that the aims of this community are being spread out to every member which is "Learning about Hive thoroughly and becoming a better Hivian."

I became a verified member of this amazing community in the early days of 2022 when I discovered about them through my exploration. I am even proud to say that no one invited me but myself as I was finding my way around Hive when I came across their post by Kronias and the Discord channel was provided. I was eager to join the ongoing interesting topic that day but got to know that a non-verified member cannot participate, hence my verification process in their channel. Ever since then, I have been writing about the weekly topics which are three topics every week.

Through that, I learnt a lot from others when they post and also, there are a series of posts I have written which has made me relate to a lot of them through my experience in the past, as a child and an adult. Today, I shall be taking you through some past posts in three categories; posts that have got me connected to emotionally, the ones that were so easy to write on without brainstorming much on them and the hard ones that seemed I wouldn't be able to write about but eventually did.

Posts that got me connected to emotionally.

Child-Adult Relationship in Relation to Life This post was written on the 21st of April, 2023 for the 53rd edition of the weekly topics. This is a post that got me so emotional while writing on it because in there, I narrated an experience of a little girl in my former church who took her time to trust people. I learnt a lot from the experience and it was a shock to me. Through my patience and respecting boundaries, she was able to trust my bond with her, unlike other persons. I was surprised at the turn of things that day which got me emotional while being wrapped in my arms. I felt the warmth in my arms while writing about her on this day.

The last Christmas with her was a memory This post was written on the 23rd of December, 2022 for the 43rd edition. The post was a personal reflection on my last Christmas with my mom in 2015 and the cherished memories I have with her that time. Seriously, I could remember how my eyes were teary when I began writing about the fun moments with her. Realising that it was the last Christmas before her death made me miss her the more and wished she was still alive while writing the post. As I was writing about her, it made me connect deeply to the post as I poured out my mind to writing ✍️

Posts that were so easy to write on

When saying sorry is just too hard It was written on the 13th of March, 2023 for the 53rd edition. This was an easier topic to write on because it is something that occurs in our daily lives. We find the word "sorry" to be a magic word that heals relationships and forms quality bonds among people. It was something that brought ideas flowing so easily that I didn't need to research to write on it and the fact that an experience I shared in the post was something that happened during the week of the edition and I was able to include that as a case study.

The meaning behind a precious name of mine. This was written on the 8th of July, 2023 for the 69th edition. Who wouldn't find this easy to write on? I felt on top of the world that day while sharing my names on the blockchain and their meanings. This was something that kept flowing through my heart down to my hands while typing on the keyboard with me beaming with smiles because I wanted everyone to know my beautiful name. I shared about moments when guys would ask for my name and when I did, they go ahead to ask "Will you add to my Joy" because one of my names has the meaning attached to it. I didn't waste time writing on this at all and I know it was the same for everyone who participated on that day.

The hard ones, but wrote eventually

Appreciating these beautiful souls This post was written on the 1st of January, this year as the 95th edition. Most people will reckon that it is hard coming up with an appreciation post especially when you have a lot of people who have contributed to your growth, and knowing that you need to mention some set of people makes it harder to come up with as you would be thinking in your mind how someone you didn't mention would start to feel. Hahaha.

It took me time to write on this as I even had to read other people's posts to see their style of incorporating a lot of people into their posts. You know, it's another thing to forget some people and when you have published, you will start remembering those names that should have been added to the list. I was so confused that I just decided to write anyway, thereby including the words "others" into it but not everyone would like that, right? This is why I find it hard writing that except I wouldn't be mentioning names but generalising it which I wouldn't even feel okay with 😅 Now you see how it was hard coming up with that?

My desired adventure This was written recently, on the 22nd of January for the 98th edition. I have lots of posts in this category but just wanted to write about this one. If you know what I went through that night while writing on this topic? Oh my! I couldn't get my mind together as it was a day I did not want to experience again. My schedule was tight and it delayed my writing until late at night when I was already exhausted. I have seen the topic before and I started thinking about an adventure to go for.

I read lots of entries to see if someone would say something similar to mine but didn't find it at first. The thing was that, I had lots of places to go but found it hard to settle for one and when I did, I wouldn't be able to come up with an idea to make the post. Perhaps it was due to my exhaustion and the fact that I wanted to make a post so I wouldn't miss posting for that day. My mind was troubled and so, writing this post was so hard to come up with. I took a shower and was relieved before I got something to talk about.

I even teased @nkemakonam89 about it and she motivated me by saying she trusted that I would give my best to write something nice when I told her it might turn out to be a rubbish post 😅 but I came up with something which I was happy about.

...and this is where I would be dropping my pen on this post.
