Essences curates topics(hives) grounded in real-life experiences, inviting users to share their personal stories and/or messages. When a story resonates with another user—echoing a fragment of their own life's essence—they can acknowledge this connection by highlighting it with a yellow hexagon. This shape, symbolically known as a building block of life, underscores the story's significance as a foundational element in their personal narrative.
