Time moves in one direction and takes everything with it. The hard moments teach you what you’re made of, the good ones remind you why you’re here. Most people spend their lives trying to skip the pain and freeze the joy, but that’s not how growth works. You can’t curate your way through existence. Every moment, comfortable or not, is shaping who you become. So stop resisting what’s in front of you. Lean into it, learn from it, let it change you. Because once it’s gone, it’s gone forever, and all you’ll have left is what you took from it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We calculate friendship because we live in an age that calculates everything. Social media shows us follower counts, like ratios, engagement metrics. Dating apps reduce humans to swipeable profiles with compatibility percentages. Everything gets quantified, ranked, optimized. So we look at friendship and think…surely there must be a way to measure this too. Surely there’s an objective answer to who matters most. But friendship isn’t a leaderboard. The anxiety to calculate it, to determine the “best,” might itself be a symptom of living in an algorithmic age that wants to rank everything, even the things that exist precisely because they can’t be ranked. You don’t need to know who your “best” friend is. You just need to know which relationships matter to you right now, in this season of your life, with these specific needs and contexts. That’s not calculable, but it is answerable. And unlike calculations, it doesn’t require objectivity. Just honesty. Who are you choosing to show up for? Who’s choosing to show up for you? Who makes your life feel more like your life? Those aren’t rankings. They’re recognitions. And recognitions don’t need to be quantified to be real

GM Nostr. My morning unfolds in phases. Spiritual time (prayer), physical preparation(workout), mental calibration(reading), then connection with the Nostriches. A protocol that attracts builders and thinkers tends to cultivate the best conversations.

Only a Fed would call out another Fed. Typical behavior. 😉 View quoted note →
