Who here feels the same?


January was damn long. It's more like a whole year itself than actually 31 days. Was everyone also having a tough time in January? I don’t know but I certainly do. January was a clusterfuck. It’s like my whole damn turned around and I had to adjust everything. There was a lot of fun in between though but the struggle definitely outweighs everything. Only in the last weeks before the month end, I saw the light.

I have been putting off my dream life and goal for a while. Not because I was too lazy working on it but I was trying to re-adjust the current reality I am having with everything else in my life. Writing here is always a consolation, it’s like my open journal to the world that I don’t mind strangers looking into it. Because who knows? Some other folks might have the answer or advice for me.


February Content Planning

Before the year ended, I was hoping I could be more consistent writing here but in January, I skipped about 4 days. I am not sure about Y’all but I actually write everything on a spreadsheet and keep track of stuff I wrote. While sometimes I write for me, other times I do want to write for everyone else. Maybe sharing helpful reviews, how-to’s or movie recommendations. Let’s try again this February, shall we?

More photography session

I recently picked up photography again and it has been quite a relaxing journey. It’s truly something I call a hobby that makes me joy without having to be too competitive about it. This is why I want to cultivate that again and want to take more pictures at random locations weekly. It’s really refreshing to do. The other day, I was scouting a potential spot for my photography session. It has a view overlooking the mountain as well as sunrise on it. It’s pretty awesome to see that the mountain can be visible from that spot.

More exercise

Walking is something I am re-starting again. It’s truly refreshing to take a walk in the morning and get the body to move. While lately it’s halted because my other life takes the best of me, it’s time for me to do that again. Afterall, exercise helps a lot with our health and brain function.


On another topic, this year I need to recover a lot of my financial losses. I might have to resort once again to day trading and even check out new things out there. It’s like I missed out on many opportunities while I was away taking care of other things in my life.





Hive Journey

As for my hive journey, I try to do small comments daily because these days there are many contents out there worth checking out as well as just seeing what’s the current hive trends. It’s always refreshing to see that there are new innovations even on templates. But sometimes you find funny stuff that you wonder, how did that even get here?

While February is pretty short, I hope that it doesn’t feel as long as January and nothing too extreme happens this month. Hope it goes the same with you too & stay tuned for my other content other than this intermezzo!

I feel the same way too. Writing here on hive. It’s a beautiful feeling. I hope your dreams through consistent effort paves way🙏

Writing here has always been fun and distraction from my IRL life. While others get addicted to twitter or instagram even tiktok, I am 100% on hive haha. It's like I scrolled through before anything else. Anyway, have a great day!

In my case I felt like January went so quickly. I was expecting something in January but it didn't work out, so I have big hopes for February 🙏🏻.

I hope you can achieve your goals for this month, doing more of the things you love like photography or morning walks.
Thanks for sharing your reflections.

Same to you! hope February is treating you a lot better than January does. I mean, seems like January was a month of adjusting for a lot of people.

I don't know why for me, it felt like January was short. I had also planned to write every day this month, but I ended up skipping days and mine is way more than 4 days.

I'll be trying to use scheduling feature a lot more this February. The only problem I'd have to face is that I always write spontaneously and never pre-written. It's like making a stock isn't my thing but if you can do that. that's awesome and maybe you won't miss a day despite busy IRL life.

January is like a really long MONDAY. You know, life throws us curve balls and it's uncomfortable but also forces growth. don't beat yourself up too much for what you missed out on tending to other things in your life. You were working at improving your circumstances and that is equally valuable.

Don't beat yourself up even if you missed a few posting days, the point is, you are still here doing it and committed to keep going and get back to your new self with more wisdom to share on your experience. I'm going thru something similar, having to forcibly shift priorities as life happens, it can suck, focus on finding silver linings for every situation, it helps keep perspective on things. Hang in there. xox

That's so true! it's exactly that Monday. I think I just tend to beat myself up for everything then stopped doing it entirely. Something's got to change though which is why I plan on seeing what didn't work and what could be improved this month.

I know how tough life can be but there's always that tiny hope somewhere. Hang in there to you too! hope February treats you better.

No point in beating yourself up too much, the past can't be changed but better can be created for the future and that's one step at a time. Being able to recognize small growth the difficult periods teach us helps keep perspective and hope during challenges. hope your Feb is better for you too Sweetie! 😍

Glad you kept up exercise as it's often the one thing that helps us cope with what life throws at us! My Jan was up and down but my 30 day yoga challenge was great and I feel happy I completed it. Missed a few days posting too as just been so busy that sometimes I just haven't had any time to compose myself to write or comment!

Yep! exercises hands down keeping me sane. I used to think it was pretty insignificant until I got a lil older and do them often. There's definitely huuge difference. Good luck this February with everything!

We have a natural fitness when we are young. As we get olderw e have more stresses and need those endorphins even more!

I love that you organize your posting thru spreadsheets. I'd also love to do that but I can't as of the meantime hahaha studying is the utmost important as of the moment. I hope all of your plans went well for this month!

I feel you😭, January is like a torture to me. Living my own daily life repeatedly is damn boring, I hope that this February would be fun😮‍💨

Same here, just hoping there's a change in February!

I was a little bit afraid last night that what if the date turns 32 jan instead of 01 Feb. Lmao. So long January but at last comes to an end.

I have some plans for exercise but not limited to walk exercise only. I might continue my gym which I left due to exams.

Good luck with recovering the financial losses.

hahaha yeah, January was that long this year. I am not sure why but it's the longest january I've ever experienced. Good luck to you too as well!

I was the most successful here as far as the number of articles produced in January. It was a month I spent a lot of time inside (due to weather) which I don't like to do. I have some climbing to do with my health this new month. Last day of January I had not so good news at doctor's office. I left with anxiety but pulled myself together, have to move forward. I even wrote about it but decided not to publish. February I hope is better than January's end. Like you I need to flex more on exercise and figure out ways to make more income.

Let's hope February goes better and faster 😊

Oh! I think that's about the same with me too. Typically, I would have gotten more content when I am inside the room and much less when I am moving around and about. I hope you get better soon and good luck with your health this February. It's nice to finally left January behind to start something new :)
