You have 4 days to write for the prompt BUT you can respond to the prompt however you choose, provided the focus is on the written element of your post. So give one of these options a whirl: Fiction, Creative Non Fiction, Poetry, or Discursive Essay.

Tomé la foto de la portada durante el viaje de regreso a casa, ese manto de nubes pedía a gritos ser inmortalizado como un colofón bonito para unos días especiales. Llegar a casa tras unas vacaciones supone deshacer maletas, poner lavadoras y reubicarse en lo cotidiano. En eso estoy. Mañana comenzaré a responder a las menciones y comentarios pendientes, aunque soy poco importante y no son cientos, jajaja</blockquote></center><br><hr><br><center><h3><a href="/@honeydue/where-to-exactly">Where to, exactly?</a> by @honeydue</h3></center><center><img src="https://images.hive.blog/DQmZyd3g3N6QtKKDx1qvG5oC6nBhJXkPNabAE5H2VmNe5X2/WhatsApp%20Image%202024-04-26%20at%2019.56.15.jpeg"></center><br><center><blockquote>A friend of mine recently started her first job.

Only two weeks ago, on April 16, 2024, we had a big storm that hit the UAE and brought about about massive destruction to properties and crippled businesses. The country experienced the heaviest rainfall in 75 years, receiving amount of rain equivalent to 1.5 years in just 24 hours. Photos show heavy rain and severe flooding in the United Arab Emirates  Amazingly, the government was quick at putting the action and the major streets were back to normal in just a matter of few days.

As I scrolled down my photos, I saw this moment back then when I witnessed a picturesque beach scene with my name written on the sand. The way I looked at it back then as I wrote my name on the sand was mixed with a feeling of excitement as I wanted to capture the magnificent sky with the puffy clouds and the light of the Sun going down the beautiful horizon. This moment was so priceless and never did I thought that my view of the moment was changed at an angle full of emotions that I wanted to pour out. Yes, it was a serene moment, but tiny raindrops fell like how the tears fell in my eyes as I experienced the challenges of life</blockquote></center><br><hr><br><center><h3><a href="/@ibbtammy/what-happens-when-your-rights-are-violated">What happens when your rights are violated?</a> by @ibbtammy</h3></center><center><img src=""></center><br><center><blockquote>They call it Human Rights, they say these rights belong to us because we are humans, they say these rights cannot be taken from us, they say violation of Human rights is punishable by law and the tons of theories and rules backing the Fundamental Human Right but how come people who violate people’s rights every day walk freely without been punished for their crimes? How come Human right are seen as trash to some people? Are human rights meant for only a few people? There were times when as a human being my rights were violated, there were times I fought back and things changed and there were times when I fought back and nothing changed.

Many times I stop to think about how I would like to have the capacity of thinking or reasoning that I have now; perhaps that would have saved me a lot of time in several things. I also think infinitely about how I would have liked a different upbringing, and I am not talking about what they could have given me materially, but what they could have demanded from me at an academic level. Even so, I will never stop being thankful for what I consider myself to be, because I don't know.

I don't look forward to it coming and there has never been a moment in my working life when someone said "Happy Labour Day" to me... Except today. Haha.

The security builds confidence and that confidence slowly creeps into being over confidence till you find yourself teetering towards academic ruin. Would you make it over the edge of the cliff in time or would it already be too late? From the beginning, my Dad would call me by the family name, saying that in this family, no one was anything but incredibly intelligent.
