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 “A READING HABIT”.
But before we proceed with the details of the topic, let us take a look at the winners of the last topic, which was “LETTING GO”.
This topic was geared toward each member of the community sharing their thoughts on letting go of family members who seem to be holding them back from their growth and progress. Many times, we’re the only ones who know the visions we see, only we understand what directions we want, and for that reason, we could get major resistance from family members who believe they’re acting in our best interest.
We got to see that indeed, a lot goes into such considerations when making such life-changing decisions. For many, choosing to leave their families in search of growth would not be an easy choice to make. And there have to be so many conditions for such a choice to be made. Thus, the response was a bit mixed. This was an enlightening topic, indeed.

> For this topic, we went through every entry post, and that is every post with the #hl-exclusive & #hl-w186e1; 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. 
[BELIEFS, FAMILY, AND BLOOD TIES](https://peakd.com/hive-153850/@crazyphantombr/enpt-beliefs-family-and-blood-ties-3bz) by @crazyphantombr
*This author told us that family ties are one of the most important bonds that an individual will ever get, and thus should be treated with much care. But then, he accepts that there could be valid reasons for people who choose to distance themselves from their family members. And when such a thing happens, the reason is worth investigating. Because that is the only thing that will determine if it was a good choice or a bad one.*
[CHANGING FAMILY](https://peakd.com/hive-153850/@kilvnrex/changing-family-d5k) by @kilvnrex
*For this author, he shared with us his experience with having family members standing against his plans. It was not a pretty experience, and it even led to a great rift between him and his father for two years. So many attempts were made to change things, but they all failed, and it only helped to teach him the value of resolve.*
[ROOTS AND HORIZONS](https://peakd.com/hive-153850/@michupa/roots-and-horizons-en-pt) by @michupa *For this author, he told us about how hard it can be to leave your roots behind, however, many times, letting loved ones go when the goal is growth is very important. In the end, it all boils down to what the right choice is for the individual because time is on no one’s side. And we all have to do what is best for us.*
