One of the hardest parts about becoming free is the goodbyes.
Some people don’t want to be on that ship with you because they’ve never been truly in charge of their lives, some people don’t belong on that ship with you because their only mode of being is coercion and their only fuel is fear, some people couldn’t live with the responsibility of fighting for freedom.
You’ll watch quite a few of your people stay stuck behind you as you move forward.
There’s plenty of good in the world and, in time, your ship will be as full as you need it to be. But until then –or, really, even then – they’ll come to mind. Those books might be closed but they’re still there on the shelf. You will see them, you will hear them, you will miss them, it will hurt, and it will be okay.
You can only write your story and if you’re lucky the beginning of some little ones’ stories. And that is the best use of your existence, to live your very, very own story, one that would have never played out the way it did without all of your fights, losses and victories.
It’s the only way and it’s so worth it. 🧡

Always anyway, but now more than ever. 🧡
Great listen. 👌
View quoted note →It’s one thing to claim freedom and protest for it, it’s a whole other game to actually know what it is to you, find it, take it, rip it off and live it.
Every day of your life, you only get once. Never stop living freely. 🧡
The mother who chooses to heal becomes the ancestor who changed everything.
Generational change starts with a brave parent. We may not have had the blueprint, but we're building the foundation.
Happy Mother’s Day. 🥂✨🧡
Life hack: study salt and pepper people you admire and learn from them. Close friends, acquaintances, colleagues, family, autobiographies, biopics.
They’re open-source mentors, and it’s not meaningless that the behavior of smart people past a certain age converges so closely. There’s depth in that. Much better allocation of ultimately finite resources like we young ones like to deny.
Kids may be cool and but where’s the wisdom, kids? Where is the wisdom?
It’s the forgotten art of having eyes on the (g)old.
Only half-joking.
Not one for this kind of post but I’ve recently rediscovered this, tried it and found it quite useful to break out of unwanted habits:

No idea who or where I would be without 4 hours long podcasts/ audiobooks and I don’t want to know.
Grateful to be here and now. 💎⛏️✨
The best part about carrying pain is that you are always carrying a hard to ignore reminder to do the best you can.
Generous, gracious, kind. 🌊🧡
It’s been wonderfully easy to find a sense of awe these days. Grateful. 🌨️🧡
The older I get, the more I grow to deeply admire every person who loves well.
There is a cure for nearly every way that a person can be broken, and that is to be completely, truly, abundantly, unconditionally loved.
If you’ve gotten that from anyone at all, at any age, you’re a lucky one and I’m deeply happy that you carry that love with you through life. ✨
If you’re one of those lovers – love of any kind, that is – thank you for being you, and for making lives, and the world warmer, wider, lighter and more robust.
To loving better. 🥂🧡

Happy December, Nostr! 🧡
There is nothing more magical than human connection. ✨✨
And it’s uniquely abundant among Bitcoiners. The most beautiful beings I’ve ever known find themselves part of the Bitcoin community. Not a coincidence, and not by design, but the overlap is telling.
Grateful. 🧡
