RE: Outside Looks Fun 🏸 No Time For Being An Active Father, Cooking, & Homeschooling Anymore 🤦♂️
Well no matter what, even if I have to step back away from my own blog to let the ladies pursue this new passion, I'll still keep the ASEAN Hive Community going, and a little bit of my personality is always in the @asean.hive curation posts.
Your advice is accurate, of course I agree, but sometimes we tend to avoid something that is staring us in the face. I always liked the airplane emergency safety instruction talk as a metaphor for life, you have to put on your own oxygen mask before you can help anybody else with theirs.
I'll keep working on RisingStar, hopefully she'll take it over, but it will take a lot of persuasion. It is exciting to see Monkey-B get interested in posting. For now I don't want it to seem like work to her, so whenever she wants to post is fine, but I'll aim to at least get a post from her every couple weeks at least. Life is one hell of a rollercoaster at times, and I think there are some weird things in man DNA that make some of us stoic to a fault.
For now I can't imagine abandoning Hive in any kind of scenario. If I did so, I'd have to get the emails and/or contact info of so many of my fellow Hivers. I have known many of you for years on this platform, and at this point in my life I am most honest in Hive about my opinions, thoughts, feelings., etc. People in my offline life here don't ever say things as uplifting, real, and direct as the words in your comment my friend.
I completely agree on the airplane safety guide: first take care of yourself, or else you won't be able to take care of others. That's why I understand that I may see fewer posts by you, and (hopefully) more by the rest of your family. Clearly, this also means that instead of working as a blogger you'll shift to being a cheerleader for bloggers, getting them to do it because they are enjoying it before the activity reveals itself as work. But hey, in many other families kids are made to do much less enjoyable and more taxing work, with close to no educational value. So it's a win-win-win!
WOW, THANK YOU! Your last paragraph felt so nice to read! Not only because it made me feel flattered (just the way I feel, even if it wasn't intended as such), but because I can completely relate to it. Forget other social media, and even in real life I hardly find the same mix of honesty in expression, diversity in thinking, a wide range of knowledge, and a general overall positivity. Also, it feels super nice hearing the same from someone else about me (=us)! I appreciate it.
