I was awakened by a loud bang from the bathroom door. It seems the strong wind pushed it shut. When I checked, I realized it’s about to rain—so early in the morning! OMG, is this finally the first rain of the week? Hmm, I can’t even remember anymore—LOL.
Anyway, I’m thankful for it. Yesterday was so warm, I felt like I was coming down with a mild fever. This rain is definitely going to make the day cooler than yesterday's weather. I was outside yesterday and could really feel the heat of the sun on the top of my head and the back of my neck. It felt like something hot was pressing against my skin—that’s the kind of sunshine we get here in the city.
Since I’m already awake, I might as well get an early start on prepping for work.

And because I have a bit of extra time, I also want to take a moment to write about something I’m grateful for: social media networks (whether Web 2 or Web 3).
If there’s one thing I’m truly thankful for, it’s how social media bridged the distance between me and the rest of the world. I’ve had the chance to connect with people I never would have met otherwise—fellow creators, curious minds, kind strangers—all because of a platform, a post, or even a shared hashtag.
It’s amazing how much of our lives now revolve around this digital space. From catching up on global news to discovering niche communities, I find myself learning something new every day. I've even explored new tools like the Ecency app for blogging or shopped online using $HIVE via UQUID—things that weren’t possible a few years ago.
These interactions aren’t just digital either. Some of them turned into real-life connections, proving that meaningful bonds can begin with a simple comment or collaboration online. Whether it’s through TikTok, Hive, or just a good old blog post, I’m reminded that social media isn’t just for scrolling—it’s a gateway to discovery, learning, and human connection.
And for that, I’m deeply grateful. 🌍💬✨

It has also enriched my life, @curamax .
Hive--essentially my only social media platform-- is the perfect medium for me. I don't have a talent for chit chat, and I love to write. As you say, I 'meet' people from all over the world. There is no pressure to blog...it's a pleasure, a way to relax. Every time I write a blog I do at least a little research. In my years on the platform I've learned a lot!
Absolutely agree! Hive offers that perfect mix of creativity and community—no pressure, just genuine sharing and learning. Glad it’s been enriching for you too! :)

Thanks a lot for the support!
I agree. Social media, or the internet, does have benefits. It's up to users how they spend time with it.
Well said! Social media is a tool... it really depends on how wisely we use it. Thanks for sharing your take!
Nice one. I not sure how much it can do for me. But having a good balance is good for me.
That balance is key. Social media’s impact really depends on how we use it, and it sounds like you’ve found what works for you!
Yes, social media is a great way to connect with people all over the world, something that wasn’t really possible before the social media era. And yep, it’s not just for endless scrolling. Just steer clear of the stuff that can rot our brains. Hahaha!
Exactly! It’s all about intentional use. Skip the junk, keep the good stuff—like genuine conversations and connections!
Omg same!! I started blogging last year and thought no one would read it but now I’ve met so many kind souls because of it.
So true! It’s amazing how writing online can open the door to unexpected friendships.
Glad you’re having that experience too! 💫
Although social media may have some negative sides on it's end I still believe for some people like me to get over my problems and just wanna stay away from the problems of the world I would still choose scrolling up and down the Social Media. It is also a great way to distract yourself if you are stress and overwhelmed with life. Hope you had a great day. 😇
Yes, sometimes a scroll break is exactly what we need to breathe and reset. Hope social media continues to bring you peace and inspiration!
It have change lives positively especially with the aspect of it having so much opportunity to gain from.
Totally agree... social media, especially platforms like Hive, can open up real opportunities. It's all about how we tap into them!
