I Need Dopamine to Make Money by @macchiata

I see a comment that working one job would be a good solution, but I'm afraid there is no way back to that model... My parents were doing that, and I can't remember whether they were too happy or satisfied with it...
You are not alone with your dopamine need... Many creative people have the same issue, as they can't settle down with 1 job or 1 idea... Which is perfectly fine... We are not machines, and we need challenges... I don't know what's a good solution, but having a job that brings money and having a second one that you love and try to build is a nice solution... One pumps up dopamine, and the other, money... hehehehe
The idea is to make the dopamine job the primary one... 😃 and then kill the boring job and exchange it for fishing... 😂

When Office Ends, Friendship Shall Not Fade by @zainalbakri

As we get older, it's harder and harder to meet new people, so nurturing those new relationships is important! When I run a business in my small town, I meet so many new people, and some of them grew from clients to very good friends... With some of them, just like you, I drink, go fishing, or just casually hang out!
Thanks for sharing your story... It's important to talk about friendships in times when young people build a fake reality and friends online...

Hive Open Mic Week 339 – Desconectado - Jaze (cover) [ESP-ENG] by @edwardstobia

It’s a very thought-provoking song, and it’s true that if we do what we enjoy, we’ll feel more at ease, just like you do when you choose a particular song. Challenging ourselves is what leads us to improve in different aspects of life and to surpass ourselves. As for the song’s lyrics, what you say is also true; we’ve all been through those disconnected romances, but life has taught me that surely some of that love that didn’t work out or that fell apart leads to the one that really is ideal and did work out; everything happens for a reason, even if we don’t understand what it is.

A Stroll Along Chicago's Navy Pier by @coquicoin

Similarly to you, I'm not a big fan of big cities, the rush, tourists around... But it looks like it wasn't as busy as you thought on your walk to the lake pier... The weather was fantastic for taking photos, with fluffy clouds and no hot sun...
It's great to see that despite being in the big city, the lake still has such a beautiful turquoise color!

Lake Colac Botanical Garden by @riverflows

I think it was last year when I visited one "official" botanical garden... It was in Malaga, and we kept the visit as the last place to visit on our short vacation... As it didn't look too big on the map, we thought the visit would be half an hour or so... In the end, we almost missed lunch after a 2-hour walk around the garden... From that time, I've appreciated gardens more and more, and whenever we visit a new city, I search for one...
Escaping from people, or seeking a calm place in nature? 😃 You can interpret it as you wish... 😂

Serie: La máscara de Halloween (The Halloween Mask)[ES EN] by @rinconpoetico7

This story, set around Halloween, seems really interesting. I thought the police would link what the homeless man said to the cardiac arrest, because the killer doesn’t necessarily have to be human; the entity could cause it without even touching the person if it has that power. We’ll see in the next instalment whether I’m right or not. For now, the mystery is gripping the community with the first part of this brilliant tale.
