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. 🧡

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. 🥂🧡

Chocolate banana muffins - Christmas Edition. 🏠🎄 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. 🧡

Spotted: Bitcoiner crocs! 😌 And a few good bites of wisdom. 🍎

Just a 3 year old boy living his wildest bucket wheel excavator dreams. 🥹 #Birthdaystr @notmandatory, there couldn’t be a better truck for this mining job, thank you. 🫂🫂

All I want for Christmas is 58K. 🎅🏻

Attempting homemade kefir for the first time. 🤞🏻 Send prayers, I have fermentation PTSD. #kefirstr #healthstr

Everyone who is free today has been through that moment where someone looks them in the eyes, smirking as if the secret had amused them every minute of every day for decades, and murmured: “It’s all made up”. That’s the ultimate pill.

Taxes - Theft Ads - Coercion Schools - Indoctrination Healthcare - Sickcare Success - Slavery The population’s safety - The Cage Drugs - Poison Trust - Fear Government - La crème de la tard Stay free. 🧡

@Shawn refuses to call them bagels but I made “bagels” – without the carbs. You wish your home smelled like mine does right now. 🤤 Heaven. When a bitcoiner passes you a recipe, you know it’s a keeper. 🧡 #cookstr #bakestr

There are only two kinds of people out there: those who think there’s one pizza to share and those who see pizzas everywhere! 🍕🍕🍕

Remember to forget. Live free. 🧡

I’m getting a first taste of my thirties today. They’re looking sweet, wild and wonderful already. Life is beautiful and I feel lucky beyond comprehension. I lose count of the miracles that make the seemingly simple things in my life a reality. Ciao, twenties. 📕 Thank you for being the chapter where I found my heaven on earth. Thirties, I hope you’re ready. 🎇

Six years ago I was starting a PhD in artificial intelligence with one of the most prestigious universities in France, but my heart was missing something I couldn’t be happy without. Today I’m living in Nashville, TN with my best friend and our son, making sure they’re healthy, loved, thriving, enjoying peace, community and the little, priceless things in life, living freely and fiercely. I had no idea how happy I could be. 🥹 @Shawn, you already know. ❤️

Sometimes you win, sometimes you splatter freshly whipped dark chocolate hazelnut praline mousse all over your dining room. Thank God for @Shawn. ❤️

If God were real, all dairy would be good for all people. 🧀

From food that heals and nurtures to food that quietly kills. Fix the food, fix the world. Also, sitting down with a cookbook at 10 pm feels like a whole new wifehoood achievement unlocked. 🏆

Highest quality real food Macademia blondies. Baking is a superpower. 🙌🏻 #bakestr

Only in America do you lay there getting a scan done and the radiologists act like it’s none of your business knowing what’s in there. 🤡 🌎
