Sunday Minnow Support Curation - 12/14/25

Every Sunday, I choose five posts from my Thoughtful Daily Post Community; these posts will have been shared in the community. Or they will have been created with the #thoughtfuldailypost TAG. I was honored to have been chosen to curate for the @minnowsupport project, as doing so not only helps spread the energy I strive to create from my community. But also helps our Minnows as they begin their journey on our blockchain. I hope this helps instill that warmth and fascination we all experienced as we first attempted to find our way. But with an extra emphasis, on getting "eyes" on their works. To help those who I curate, I will be setting each respective account, as 10% Beneficiary of the total rewards of this post. Please help me to make these dear souls feel welcome!

Upvotes, Reblogs, and Comments, though not expected, will be highly appreciated.

Plot Twists by @justfavour

Life does not always go the way we expect. While this makes living life fun and exciting, it also makes it sad and painful. One moment, you are happy and on top of the world and the next moment, you are at rock bottom, wailing, holding your cold hands and wishing you could disappear into thin air. You wish you had never existed or that the world had ended. Life is filled with plot twists. The best writers get their plot twists inspiration from life itself. Sometimes things change suddenly and push us in a new direction. My life this year is filled with plot twists. Unexpected turns that made me bow to life and say, “You are the king of them all.”

The Family Holiday Tradition of a Silverfish - SB Chronicles Prompt #24 by @mondoshawan

Long story short - it's that time of the year again for the so-called ‘celebration of love’, as they say it in Germany. This means the usual family holiday drama tradition is about to repeat itself. Luckily there is New Year around the corner too. Same procedure as every year...

The Most Thoughtful Gift I Wish I Could Give A Special Kid This Season - LOH Contest || Edition #267 by @yechee

I always believed that the people we share gifts with are the ones we cherish the most, and that the more intentional the gifts are, the deeper the love behind it. But over the years, I've come to realize that our best gifts also go to the people with whom we share fewer bonds and memories with. For most of such gifts, it is simply our thoughtfulness that pushes us toward gifting these strangers or acquaintances the very things they long for. That kind of generosity is one of the things that makes the world a better place.

Figuring Out Adulthood Even When It Overwhelms Us by @merit.ahama

Adulthood is a phase of life that keeps beating you but as it has always been, we all keep pretending to be okay until we are. Nobody learnt to be adult at once but experience, maturity and time teaches us over time to manage being an adult even in face of difficulties and reasons to wish we were kids. It's a phase we keep going on.

The Hidden Gap Between Success and Joy by @nhaji01

A few years ago, I didn’t fully understand the concept of happiness. I thought I had to talk to people to be happy, see them to be happy or even spend time with time. This wasn’t until I spoke with a friend of mine who left me with something to think about.
