Hive Naija Weekly Prompt | Edition 37

Greetings!

As a community, we have come a long way together over the years, and more exponentially since The Big Move. What we want for ourselves is to have a space where countrymen have a home to share the Nigerian experience and connect with one another. Together, we'll have a blast of a year.

Welcome to a new edition of the Hive Naija Weekly Prompts. This initiative is one of our activities to explore our creativity and foster connections amongst ourselves. Whether you're a seasoned creator or just discovering the joy of expressing your thoughts, these prompts are crafted to inspire and ignite your creativity, as well as interact with the creativity of others in the community.

Last Edition's Winners:

What a blast this week! We had 51 of you share beautiful memories and heartfelt letters with us! We appreciate every participant for taking giant strides to expand their minds with the last edition's prompts. Many were as beautiful as they came. And there are a few that we want to showcase for their exceptional entries and level of engagement in the community.

My parents will always tell me that the only audience I'll get on my wedding day will be the seats in the hall. They say this as a joke and it gets funnier when I remember they are the same people who raised me the way I am. I wouldn't call myself non-social. I'm somewhere in between the two lines of being a social bee and an introvert.

First of all, i was never a social person and i am still not a social person just that there is a whole lot of difference and changes now.
I grew up to always love my space, love my private life, with no friends and no enemy...
I just loved that time alone period. I was a certified loner and i really really enjoyed.

Through the years, I've been a non-social individual, and I guess the fact that while growing up, I was raised in one of the most notorious neighborhoods in Lagos, and my parents, in order to not make me get influenced by the bad habits exhibited by those around us, made sure I'm always indoors. That brooded my introverted nature, but I don't let that define my social interaction, even though I find solace in solitude.

Congratulations to these talented individuals for their outstanding contributions. Each of them wins 3, 2, and 1 HIVE for their positions. Now, we would like mention a few other entries that we deem exceptional.
