Hi, Alivers!
I wasn't able to publish another post yesterday because one of my close friends called me. At this point in my real life, I have 2 friends like that. I mean, I have a lot of friends in real life. But there are 2 people who are like family to me.
How does that work?
If they call me at 2 a.m. asking for help, I'll get dressed and go help. If they need to listen, I will listen, even if I don't have the energy. And vice versa. If I need help in any matter, I will get it to the fullest extent, even by some restriction of their wishes and the like...
There were times when we lived in different countries for a long time, but when the three of us met, we could talk until the wee hours of the morning. We're always short on time. Time doesn't exist when I'm with them.
And I noticed an interesting thing over these few decades. We may not have called each other, but we never lost the thread that connected us. There were times when we didn't see each other for a year or two. We each evolved in our own way and in our own field, but when we met, we could complement each other in our thoughts.
And it wasn't a conversation about the weather, movies, music, or everyday life. It's completely different topics about philosophy, psychology, relationships or life values. All the things I love to write about in my posts.
I've wondered every time how they can pronounce my thoughts when we're in different places, jobs and positions.
This continues to this day.
It was the same yesterday.
We talked on the phone for about two hours. And I'm amazed at it every time...
I know that I'm very lucky to have these people that I really consider my family, even though we're not related by blood. I'm grateful for that and I appreciate it every day.
So today, I want to ask you about your friends offline. In real life.
Do you have any friends that you consider your family? How many of them are there? Perhaps you would have some funny story on the subject?
And before I finish, I want to say that many of Hive have become very close to me. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any of you in real life. With my own eyes, I would say. But I have a dream. To see you all sooner or later, if you want to.
And I'm sure that opportunity will come sooner or later.
I believe it will!
Goal
As I wrote in the first post Giveaway of Gratitude. 5 HSBI. CLOSED!, I give every day and want to take it to Hive! The purpose of this next giveaway is to give back to Hive and its members my share of appreciation and love! This is a gratuitous giveaway. That is, if the payout for this post is 5.01 Hive, I will give away 6 HSBI! The only thing I get is your love and part of the Hive SBI (that's how HSBI works).
What is HSBI
HSBI is a social experiment that has grown into something bigger. I have read many posts and other information about it. In my opinion, it is worthy of both Hive and this world in general! If you don't already know what HSBI (Hive SBI) is, read this post: Hive SBI
Why am I leaning specifically toward HSBI? Because this value that I give away also stays at Hive. It also shows my love for this blockchain and everyone involved!
Rules
- Answer the giveaway question or voice your opinion against it if you feel that way. Just do it in more than 2 words!
- Wait 7 days from the time the post is published.
- Bots and multi-accounts are not participating and will be tracked manually by me. That's what the 7 days are for.
- The five winners will each receive 1 HSBI.
- One participant I choose will receive 1 HSBI personally from me! I will publish the reasons in my next post.
It's simple, isn't it? If it is, then go for it! I'd love to see your love for the entire Hive community!

Congratulations, guys!
Once again, there were only 8 participants who met all the conditions. So once again I sent you all 1 HSBI!
All the appreciation awards were sent out about 8 hours ago. I received my HSBI portion for last week and for this week. Here are my current HSBI figures ⬇️
Conclusion
I still believe in the energy that connects us by an invisible thread. It's impossible to see it. But it can be felt every day. Every touch.
Perhaps air has a more complex formula than what we learned in high school chemistry class...
That's all for now! Hive ON! Hive Five! We Are Alive!
