Hello everyone, how are you doing today? Hope you are having a great time. This will be *Week 184, Edition 02* of our Weekly Featured Content.
Made With Canva
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 second topic for this week, which is “HOLIDAY SEASON”.
But before we proceed with the details of the topic, let us take a look at the winners of the last topic, which was “GHOSTING”.
This topic was geared toward each member of the community sharing with us their experiences with ghosting and also telling us if they’ve ever had to ghost someone before. There can be a number of reasons why we end up ghosting people, and most of the time, it’s always for our benefit, because in the end, we’d always be looking out for ourselves.
We got to see the different situations that led to members ghosting their friends and acquaintances, and how they coped with it when it was over. And for many, ghosting was a necessary act, and they never regretted it when they were forced to make such drastic decisions. It was an interesting topic, indeed.

> For this topic, we went through every entry post, and that is every post with the #hl-exclusive & #hl-w184e1; 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. 
[GHOSTING ISN’T ALWAYS MALICE - SOMETIMES IT’S SELF PRESERVATION](https://peakd.com/hive-153850/@nkemakonam89/ghosting-isnt-always-malice-sometimes-its-selfpreservation-gow) by @nkemakonam89
*This author told us about how she has never been one to consider ghosting someone, due to the kind of person she was. However, when her close friend always talked down on her wins and was always unhappy when she had good things going for her, she realized that it was time to cut ties with her. And she eventually ended up ghosting the person. And she has never looked back since then.*

*For this author, he told us about how, during the pandemic, he had to end a friendship that had been going on since childhood because the person had betrayed him. And this led to him distancing himself from the person. This was someone that he had cared about deeply, but once that trust was gone, he had to move on as well. For his own peace of mind.*
[HOLDING ON BY LETTING GO](https://peakd.com/hive-153850/@sperosamuel15/holding-on-by-letting-go) by @sperosamuel *For this author, he told us that ghosting someone was no longer a strange thing to him anymore. The first time he was forced to do this was to his childhood friend, one with whom he had grown up with, and they shared lots of memories together. But when the friend began to hang around dangerous individuals, he had no choice but to ghost him.
