Today is my very last day of work for the year 2020 and I can honestly say it's been a challenging year and that I'm happy to let it fade into the past unremarked and uncelebrated.
It's been a year of my life though, for better or worse; A difficult one in which many disappointing, sad and tragic events have occurred but there's been a constant. Hive.
Blogging here has not only brought the ability to express myself, share my hobbies, thoughts, daily occurrences, moods, feelings, the good and bad moments in words but has also provided me an outlet, a form of detachment from the real world that I always find welcome, and especially so in 2020.
I was thinking about that today, some of the blogs I've done, and was going to link to a few I really liked but something drew me to one in particular which I wrote and posted on the 29th April; It was entitled Beginning of forever.
Instead of posting a few posts I liked I figured, since my thought was drawn to it, I'd post this one. That's not to say I don't like it, just that it was an odd post-topic for me to write considering my lack of experience and understanding of the scenario. It challenged me a little though, like 2020 has, and that's why I have singled it out.
Here it is below and the link to the actual post.
Beginning of Forever
I wrote it for fun, more to see if I could write about the subject matter and make it make sense. I received some nice comments about it thankfully. Of course, I'm not writer and don't expect or deserve accolades, but it was nice to have a few comments relating to the piece considering my unfamiliarity with the subject matter.
During the writing process I tried to imagine what it may be like to be in that position which helped draw out some of the words however I could hardly imagine how it must be for couples in that situation. Yes, I know it's not great, it was not meant to be...It was just meant to challenge my ability a little, and it did.
I think I have written far better things, and will write worse ones also I suppose, but like I said above, hive gives me the ability to explore and a place for my thoughts and words to land, an indelible record of how, or what, I felt at any given point.
For me that's why hive is so important.
Today I invite you to drop a link below to a piece you have written that made you feel something, was important to you or those around you or one that simply resonates with you for whatever reason. Of course, if you don't want to that's ok, just feel free to comment on my own words as above. It's your choice.
I'll commit 25 hive, 12.5 each, for two users whose 2020 post is linked below. Feel free to explain the reasons if you drop a link also.
I'll give you a couple days from the writing of this post to get your comments below.
Design and create your ideal life, don't live it by default - Tomorrow isn't promised.
Be well
