Hello everyone,

How are you on this beautiful day where the sun seems to have decided to set everything ablaze in its path? It dominates the sky, bright and almost scorching, as if it alone could warm our hearts.

People often say that the sun brings warmth not only to the air, but also to our spirits. I’m not sure if hearts truly become warmer when it shines, but one thing is certain: faces light up more easily. People go out more, take time to wander, and smiles seem to come more naturally.

In contrast, during winter, everything feels more frozen. The days are shorter, expressions more closed off, and people mostly go out only when necessary, hurrying back home without much detour. The cold seems to slow everything down and keep us withdrawn.

But as soon as the warmth returns, something changes. The streets come back to life, steps feel lighter, and people rediscover their surroundings with fresh eyes. We finally take the time to observe, to enjoy, and even to see familiar places in a new way.

As if, deep down, the sun doesn’t just warm the air… but also the way we live. ☀️

I’m not really sure what to say today, except that I’ve been desperately trying to reach an administration to get a document. Unfortunately, I keep getting stuck in an endless loop of their hold music… without ever managing to speak to anyone.

As time goes by, the situation is getting more and more frustrating. I feel like I’m wasting hours for nothing, stuck on a call that never leads anywhere. At this rate, I can already tell that tomorrow I’ll probably have to take a day off work to go there in person, book an appointment, and try to move things forward face to face.

Because of course, without this document, several of my procedures are completely blocked. Everything is on hold, frozen, just because I can’t get through to them.

It’s exactly the kind of situation that really tests your patience… 😅

If anyone is reading this — which I honestly doubt a little, haha — I’ve recently set a curation rule at 500 words. But as I’m writing this message, I’m realizing that reaching 500 words isn’t always easy, depending on what I want to say.

That said, it’s not a big deal. I’m going to stick with this setting for now: maybe fewer votes, but a higher level of quality required. Well… I say that, but I’m still in a testing phase. I’m waiting to see the results over the next 7 days to decide whether I’ll keep this setting or switch to another one.

By doing this, I can still maintain my voting mana close to 100%, while keeping a steady curation activity throughout the day.

Little by little, I’m starting to stabilize around 4.5 HP in daily curation rewards. Hopefully, this will continue over time 🤞

As you can see, 500 words may seem difficult at first, but here I’ve managed to reach it quite easily without even realizing it. In the end, I didn’t say that much — just talked about the sun and my curation, without going into great detail — which proves that it’s actually doable.

Good day
