This is so beautiful. Too bad I wasn't a paid subscriber at the time to see this and participate. I challenge myself to do this challenge this month for myself, even if I don't share it with others. I really appreciated reading the responses in this compilation. Many were relatable and positive messages that I need to remind myself of more often 💛
I really loved participating in this challenge too! I wrote a whole essay about it actually- it was a love letter to you all (this sweet and crazy Ante community), and I thought since I had done so much sharing in my own daily posting challenge in April that I'd have no trouble posting just one more thing. Alas, old, introvert habits are sticky, as it turns out.
I LOVED reading all these beautiful reflections.... it reminded me just how much good we can do if we show up for one another with kindness and encouragement.
As an introvert, I'll tell you that I understand you. Buuuut I liked reading you, and I liked reading the comments on your posts even more, especially if I came back after a while and reread them.
If you still have that essay written out or if the words are still fresh in your mind, I think you should share them. ☺️ I know sharing your thoughts about others especially strangers can be scary, but your words are always so lovely and we’re all here to support you! Thank you for sharing what you had in April. It was very powerful and encouraged me to share my own experiences. 🫂💚
I actually really enjoyed your daily updates! I hope you do more, even if not daily. I actually found one from April last night (my time). I had missed it when you posted because April wasn't overly kind to me, and as a result I missed some things happening around here- it was the sweetest little love letter to your family about finding a midnight dance party with your kids and joining in. It made me actually teary to read! I was going to leave a comment but it was an older post and wasn't sure if you'd see . It was a beautiful thing to share and hit me close as a mum that struggles (even more so lately). Sometimes I feel my cup is so empty and I can't pour from it anymore, or I've given up so much about me, and I don't know how much I have left or even what I have left - so it was really sweet to see you share those same feelings occasionally and find a midnight dance party and a moment to say yes and be silly and fun 🩷
It was a great challenge and for me, some progress was better than none. It’s slow-cooker weather here now so hopefully I can continue with my goal through the winter.
I was quietly humbled to see my comment and photo on your post.
I also loved reading the other comments. We’re a thoughtful, reflective and philosophical bunch on the Ante. 🥰
I loved everything about this challenge and I love how everyone stepped up. Thanks for giving us all these wonderful monthly challenges! Special thanks to Adri for creating the world challenge, it was fun! 💙
It's 8:40 a.m. Saturday. The sun is shining, and I only went to bed four hours ago. My legs are sore from dancing, and I've never had such a long session on the wall in my life (respect, Misha), but that's what happens when you have an anniversary. I can't sleep because of these emotions, positive emotions, of course, so I check AnteSocial; I've been practically disconnected from "public life" lately :). I walk in and see... myself.
This was one of my favourite monthly challenges, because it actually helped me finish so many artworks 🥰 it was like body doubling, but kind of different. Really helped with the executive dysfunction and procrastinational issues I have with my ADHD. Also helped to just declare things as finished even though my perfectionism wanted to tinker on indefinitely. 💖
I’m so proud of everyone here! I loved reflecting through everyone’s words. I hope to take some of this in and use it in my own life moving forward. You’re all so insightful. Love you guys! 🫂💚
Thank you AnteDotes! I don’t know if you read these messages, but did you partake in the May challenge?
When I wrote the message about how the challenge went, I didn't imagine how many people would get involved with my proposal! In the end, we all got to see the result; the video came from all over the world to reach Emily and Misha ✨️ It was incredible, and I feel so grateful to have organized the project 😆💖
I’m still so in awe with your project! Not only did you get it done on your birthday, that impact felt so huge!…
I hope more people are able to join the Ante so we can make big waves. I got so emotional seeing how many countries came together! I feel like the world needed this. Em&M and you really deserved your flowers. Great job, Adri! 💐🥳💚
For my personal challenge, At least once each week, I will identify something I need and ask someone for help, reassurance, support, or understanding before I become overwhelmed, instead of handling everything alone until I am exhausted.
