What a wonderful post full of information and hopeful examples. As I am slowly discovering Hive I am grateful for the level of self-awareness and kindness in online interaction. I have noticed how my very first learning on this platform was actually to unlearn what I had gathered from other centralized platforms. 

I also resonate very much with picking up a book at a certain time in life and how it might speak to us very differently. I like to now think of it in this way: the author most probably spent years to gather the content, words, flow for their creation; why do I expect to 'understand' the book on the first read. And I also have an explanation for myself: having studied in various countries within a traditional framework, I noticed that a common thread is the expectation that once one reads the book, one has now all the answers and solutions. 

Excited to dive deeper in the contents of the accounts mentioned.
