Happy 10th Hive anniversary!!! You are one of the OGs of this chain, and one of those that I'm glad I met IRL too! This place is much more than just a blockchain, much more than just another social media website, and HIVE is much more than just another token...
People like you are proof of that! Community, journey, and fun first; all the rest will come together...

Origami heart by @mipiano

The quote you’ve shared is very powerful, and it’s true that no heart suffers for pursuing its dreams; in fact, the journey may be difficult, but if we keep the end result in mind, it will be easier.
The mural is beautiful, and I visited the artist’s website where I saw many more marvellous pieces; I absolutely love her hyper-realistic style. I can see that her works are imbued with meaning, because birds in themselves are wonderful creatures; they bring positive messages. The triangle, the colours and, above all, the fact that one eye is covered, not completely, but replaced by the bird’s eye, is a lovely touch; the woman is looking through the bird’s perspective, which is often more profound. If we add the heart to that, I think it ties in with the final paragraph. Healing the heart and our emotions means healing the body; looking within is healing the outside.

[Movie] JOJO RABBIT (2019) | REVIEW 🎬 by @neotopher

The first movie by Taika Waititi that I watched was "What We Do in the Shadows," and it was hilarious... Completely different from anything else I watched before... But still, when I saw a trailer for Jojo Rabbit, I hesitated to watch it... But when I did, I liked it even more than the first one... hehehehe
Now, whenever I see Taika Waititi's name as a director, actor, or producer, I watch it immediately... Always a good story, different, funny, emotional...

Throwback to the expensive tour so far by @tahastories1

There are two things I’d like to highlight because they’re so profound: firstly, that your friends told you they enjoyed your company, and in a group of friends, that’s priceless; they were the sign in your life that prompted you to go on this wonderful journey. The second is your reflection on the journey itself and on the difficulty of the path to reach the views. This is just like life itself, often the path isn’t easy, quite the opposite, but reaching the destination makes it all worthwhile.
What stunning views, what a brilliant place. I’m so glad you’ve had this once in a lifetime experience.

Celebrating My 36th Birthday 🎂 | Birthday Initiative by @soyunasantacruz

What wonderful memories you’re sharing here! I think that beautiful cake makes us feel like there really was a touch of childhood magic in the air—it looks so sweet and delicious, haha. I love people who travel on their birthdays; it’s a true act of self-love, focusing on yourself rather than worrying about others. I feel like I’ll reach that stage soon myself 🤣. I think I started seeing life differently around age 36—a year or so after the pain had begun to heal—and the actual birthday date, along with the intimate way many of us choose to celebrate, really marks the start of a new era of tranquility. At our age, I think we only let the right people be by our side.

Relaxing channels [August’s theme] ESP/ENG by @mairene1

What a wonderful round-up of videos and channels that encourage relaxation and calm. It’s true that classical music is relaxing, depending on the key used; for example, the ‘Moonlight Sonata’ video with the sound of the sea creates the perfect combination for a peaceful night’s sleep. The video of the nymphs in the forest is ideal for letting your mind wander and imagining yourself in a fantasy world. I won’t deny that I love the Tibetan singing bowls video, because the vibrations have a special effect on the brain and induce states of drowsiness and meditation, they work a treat. It’s one of my favourites.
The channel that really surprised me is the last one; ASMR voices and sounds are something I’ve been using for a while, and there really are voices that bring a great sense of calm, like the one from the character you mention. The last video with the background sounds is fabulous. And what I like most is how you’ve shared your love for these videos, when you listen to them and how they’ve helped you.
