#AloneByDesign
A lot of people grow up with an image of old age that includes a partner, kids, grandchildren, or at least a cluster of relatives. But what happens if that picture doesnβt match your life? What if you end up getting old completely on your ownβno partner, no kids, no nearby relatives, just you?
Some people feel terrified at that thought. Others feelβ¦.. strangely free. Some feel both at the same time.
This activity is not about judging whether thatβs βgoodβ or βbad.β Itβs about: noticing your real feelings, not what you think you should feel, understanding the fears, hopes, and realities around aging alone, and learning from other peopleβs perspectives so youβre not carrying this thought in isolation.
You donβt need to have a plan yet. You donβt need to be sure. You just need to be honest with yourself.
Main goal of the activity

Explore what scares you, what excites you, and what youβre unsure about.

Thank you all for participating in the #AloneByDesign activity. Your openness and honesty in sharing your thoughts and feelings about aging alone are truly commendable.
As we wrap up, I encourage you to carry forward the insights you've gained from this activity and your personal experiences. Remember, it's okay to feel a mix of emotions about the future. Embracing these feelings can lead to greater understanding and preparation for whatever lies ahead.
Rewards have been sent to eligible entries. Out of the 10 reviewed entries, unfortunately, only 1 followed the rules perfectly, the rest incurred deductions for minor or major mistakes.
For those who want to understand where you went wrong and why you have deductions, please take some time to review your entries against my guidelines. I wonβt be commenting on each mistake individually now, as the issues tend to repeat themselves.
Deductions stemmed from the following:
1. Tasks not copied correctly; incomplete answer
2. Attachment β not paper/pen attachment; misspelled words; hashtag not written as it is; username and hashtag not written at the bottom part of the attachment; incorrect written username; statement mistake: I may be alone, but Iβm not lost.
The total deductions of 370k mlx will be distributed as follows:
1. 120k mlx (600k mlx) -
2. 100k mlx -
3. 50k mlx each (150k mlx) β
TOTAL PAYOUT: 3,000,000 MLX
