#956 - Vivid Colors of the Streets for Monday.

Happy Monday Hive fam! 🌱 New week is a fresh start. Progress over perfection and take note that small steps still move mountains. Be kind to our hustles, kinder to our hearts. The world needs our lights so shine however we can today. Let’s turn those ‘what ifs’ into ‘why nots’😉 together! 💪✨ #MondayMotivation #HiveHeart

Now for our daily shots, here's a mature man in a jacket brisk walked across the rainy road with arms loaded with bags while chasing two women ahead of him who stroll under their umbrellas. Vehicles sit on hold in traffic as they weaved between them, the three determined figures in the city’s wet concrete, racing to catch up while the vehicles wait.

A Baguio’s once-lush mountains os now drown in concrete, houses cling to mountainsides like stubborn mushrooms, vein like roads carve through hills and only scattered pine trees remain with their green leaves indicates a fading memory. The city climbs higher because of modernization but at what cost? A plea whispers in the crisp air: Remember the pines.🌲

On a busy street near the market area, here is a father carries his tired son, the boy’s head turned around on his shoulder. His wife walks beside them as tourists and locals walked past. Along with the crowd, they move as their own little world and tired but together as family while turning this ordinary errand into a quiet family memory especially for the little ome.

Lastly, the rain pours over Baguio’s gridlocked streets. Rows of taxis and private and public cars crawl bumper to bumper like snail, their wipers swiping in unison. Drivers sigh, passengers check phones asveveryone stuck in the wet, slow motion ride of rush hour. 🚗☔
