Hello everyone, how are you doing today? Hope you are having a great time. This will be Week 189, Edition 01 of our Weekly Featured Content.
So, last Saturday we had our hangout as usual, and it was just so much fun that we did not want it to end. We are currently on the first topic for this week, which is “BANNED FOR LIFE”.
But before we proceed with the details of the topic, let us take a look at the winners of the last topic, which was “UNREALISTIC STANDARDS”.
This topic was geared toward each member of the community sharing their thoughts with us on the standards that were placed on members of society, and how just about almost everything we could do and how we could do them was dictated by the whims of society.
We got to see that many times, society has a point. But when you live your life constantly fighting to get validated by society, it will never work out positively in the long run. There will always be periods where it’ll be better to simply do our own thing, regardless of what society says or demands. That will be important for our growth. It was an enlightening topic, indeed.
For this topic, we went through every entry post, and that is every post with the #hl-exclusive & #hl-w188e3; tag. And with the number of wonderful posts out there, it was quite difficult to make a selection. But eventually, we did just that. And so, the posts that will be featured not just for their exceptional content, but also for their level of engagement with other authors, will be listed below.
Featured Contents
YOU WON’T FIND YOUR SOULMATE THAT WAY by
This author told us that unrealistic standards have been set in relationships, people setting the standards so high that it’s usually impossible for anyone to meet up. And this is usually driven by needs and pressure from society. While everyone looks out for themselves in a relationship, many times, it looks to be at the detriment of their happiness, future, and growth.
DEAR SOCIETY, LET ME BREATHE by
For this author, he talked about how society has set standards for everyone at different stages of life, and at a point, these standards get toxic. He talked about the pressures he had faced as an adult, not just from society, but also from his own home, and how he was able to handle it. We live in a society where societal pressures have pushed people into depression and other unhealthy habits, which can’t be for him.
WHEN THE STANDARDS DOESN’T FIT ANYONE by
For this author, she talked about how exhausting it can be having to fit into all the standards set for us by society, and how it always seems to keep changing, making it hard to keep up. While some standards have a positive side to them, for their role in growth, being yourself will always be a safer bet because that way you get to decide what exactly your standards will be.
All of the above contents were supported by our official curation account lazy-panda with an extra amount. The first 3 authors will receive 100 ECENCY Points [ Sponsored By Ecency Team (
) ] and 1 $PANDAMINER each as a reward next Monday. These posts were selected because of their special attention to detail and how they followed the topic. There were a lot of good ones out there, but we just could not pick them all.
But then, we have some honorable mentions listed below:
