Let's ❤️Show the Love ❤️ Steemians!

There are so many ways. Here is one:

The entire purpose of #theluvbug
is to show love and support
to all the inspiring, uplifting, creative
and simply awesome content on Steemit
that is going unnoticed.

Please forgive me for jumping around a lot, but so many people and their words echoed in my mind last night and I lay awake for hours mulling over things I've read just this week. And it was only Monday.

#HolocaustMemorialDay #HolocaustMemorialDay2020

was yesterday, and I missed the window to post or resteem anything on the right date. This is too late to resteem, but soooo many posts are worth revisiting no matter how "old" the calendar suggests they may be.

Yesterday I finished reading "The tatooist of Auschwitz" ... a novel based on Ludwig "Lale" Eisenberg who became the tattooist from the most infamous concentration camp and on how he tattooed a serial number on the arms of those at who weren't sent directly to the gas chambers.

Click on the link above for more. And just click on the hashtags to call up dozens of fitting tributes and pleas for love and peace to prevail in a world where Anti-Semitism is on the rise (again!) and divisiveness, vs inclusion, seems to rule.

@liliana.duarte also writes in LoveFriday - Love in Auschwitz ,
##> Let's look for love!! More love please!!

This is what I would like to see shared under the #LoveFriday:

• Positivity:
  That's the main purpose!! In a world were wars, murthers, robbers, corruption are pumping everywhere, sharing positivity is even more precious;
• Romantic or not:
  There is plenty of room for romantism, but not only. I personally like every kind of altruistic gestures, that is what makes our world a better place.
• Stories, music, photography and any kind of art related:
  The window of possibilities is enormous, feel free, but remember it should be proper for all ages (no NSFW please)!

Thank you so much @liliana.duarte for creating this lovely #LoveFriday tag and spreading the love.

Here's another example:

#theluvbug is another great way to spread the love:

#TheLuvBug was launched in March 2018 and has been doing its utmost to support the really hard workers here on the Steemit platform by upvoting and resteeming their content. It would be AMAZING if we were able to support more people, more often - and with your help, we can do that!

Hashtags aside, love abides all over

in diverse Steemit communities, in spite of the negativity, downvoting, strife, political in-fighting, power struggles, and divisiveness some of you may see. I try not to see it. I steer clear of it.

@ntowl

could just ignore the downvoting and negativity, but instead, she did something about it.

Bravo!

This is a freewrite,

and @redheadpei shows here, better than I could ever tell, how profound, moving, poignant, and cathartic freewriting can be. I urge you to click on the link to read the original post, but knowing most people won't, I'm calling attention to it here:

That was a five-minute freewrite... THAT!!!

And yet, incredibly, #freewriting continues to come under fire. Some Steemians say they will "never upvote, comment on, praise, encourage, or even read freewrites."

We know what they are missing!

So many good things

and so much * LOVE * (doesn't it sound like a cliche sometimes?) have emerged in the #freewrite community.

But you needn't take my word for it.

• Try clicking on that hashtag and reading some freewrites.
• Try reading the responses in the comment section. Feel the love.
• Read the prompt post and all the good things @freewritehouse (namely, @mariannewest and so many others) has been doing for others.

I'm not going to define "freewriting" here - just gonna say that most of us who've tried it have come to love it.

@redheadpei's hashtags point to more communities that are all about positivity:

#hive-161155 #freewrite #grief #lossofchild #cc #palnet #neoxian #thealliance

And there are so many more!

@curie

is another group that rewards undervalued conent. I've posted my gratitude to the #curie team in other posts.

@appreciator

Well, you get the idea. Visit any of these hashtags, and one will lead you to another. You know what I'm saying. Let's.....

Spread kindness, peace, forgiveness, patience, and compassion,

not the seeds of negativity.
