@grindan, I'm so sorry to hear this. I can't say I'm suprised. I've seen some shitty things here, and some shitty things have happened to me here too. The reason I'm here is because I can't find a better alternative, and there is still a lot of cool people here and a perhaps naive hope that things might improve, which is probably daft, as it's a mirror of the 'real' world which isn't doing too well right now is it?
And of course, when there is more to lose, it's all the more awful. I'm sorry some of your youthful enthusiasm and hope has been shattered so.
You two are gorgeous and I honestly feel so happy seeing your picture and reading about how the two of you are obviously madly in love which is carrying you through some really, really hard times. Sending you love from Australia and you are both in my thoughts.
I can't even imagine what it's like to live with bombs exploding nearby - i empathise so hard it hurts. Keep loving each other, hard. It matters. Sent you a little hive to get something to pair up with that delicious olive oil.
Awe shucks River 💗 I really appreciate the love!!! 😭
These last few years have been so full; equal parts beauty and eviscerating new awarenesses... Dealing with some stability being swept from under my feet due to weird Hive politics solidified a sort of bitterness in me that had been brewing steadily... Hive always felt like an oasis to me because of the good things you mentioned, it hurt to be disillusioned by life from so many angles all at once. It's sad that BS happens to so many of us here; I'm bummed to hear that Hive's less cool side has affected you as well. Without the friendships formed here I think the whole thing would fall apart.
On a more positive note: LOVE! Bizarre ideologies, living in a country always in the middle of one conflict or another, annoyances over visas and other arbitrary guidelines... It always has been, and always will be worth it to me to follow my heart. Whatever goes on in around us, Yaz is my paradise.
I'm not much of a hugger, but your words made me wish I could hug you. Thanks for the realness in what you said, I've always admired that you're not afraid to say the things that many try not to touch here 😎💚
Aw @grindan 💖🥰 I do think we share an openness and a willingness to love and be loved that make us sisters of a fashion. Xxx Thankyou for being you. There's clearly a lot of people that appreciate you here. Just like the real world, it's important to be you, just you, because without kindness, openness, vulnerability, love .. what is the world? What is Hive?
