Also who decided all hiking shoes needed to be so ugly ???

Been wanting to hike so badly I went to the gym and did the stair climber😭😂 All the cardio machines at the gym are by a brand called "MATRIX" Brutha I know I shouldn't be in here simulating a hike but I DONT HAVE A MOUNTAIN😭😭

I am interested in finding ways to get involved with bitcoin/freedom tech adoption/growth/education/awareness beyond creating products that accept bitcoin payments. What types of roles does the ecosystem need? What types of skillsets are currently lacking and desperately needed throughout the network? I feel there’s obviously so much being done on the software development side of things, and not enough on the adoption/education/people side of things? The people who can bridge the gap/filter the technical stuff into more practical/useful common folk utility? I’m definitely not a deep tech person but I think I get it more than the standard person, but I’d like to be a part of growing the mission/adoption/utilitization of all these beautiful freedom technologies. LMK what types of roles/skillsets y’all think are needed and if there are people/groups out there needing help! I’d like to become a bigger part of the work🤍 #asknostr

A quote that always helps me leap “There’s a time for departure even when there’s no certain place to go” I made a decision a couple weeks ago that felt obligatory. I didn’t really want what I had decided on. In my heart I knew it didn’t feel like the right thing for me long term but I didn’t have any clarity on an alternative. Post-decision, I was hitting wall after wall with everything I was doing in other areas of life/business. And I was beyond frustrated. I decided to undo that original decision with still no clarity on the alternative and not a lot of time to figure out an alternative, but a time for departure is a time for departure. And your heart doesn’t care about uncertainty. The wall that I was hitting immediately resolved after undoing the original decision. I’m serious the same day I had a big conversation with one person undoing the original decision, an email I was waiting for for weeks landed in my inbox. Heart alignment. Always. Leap.

There are certain places I sit in my house. There are certain places I have never sat and will never sit. I can’t explain it.

The “life got in the way” busy excuse = i chose to not make it a priority. People don’t like when I tell them that😂 if something or someone matters to me, I find a way to make it happen. Life doesn’t get in my way. People just don’t like to be honest about their priorities, and then they blame life. Life too busy?? Show me ur screen time😂

I just filmed a 5 minute video off the cuff and didn’t say “like” one time. I’ve never been so proud of myself YALL DONT KNOW HOW MUCH I SAY LIKE😭😭😭

VERY COOL & CREATIVE BOOK @Juraj🏴💛🌘 Tamers of Entropy. Would be a fire movie ??? “Nothing had that particular frequency-the strange and the impossible, the feeling that reality was negotiable if you were smart enough and fearless enough to rewrite the rules. To play with entropy. To short it with your existence, transforming everything.” “She thought about the people below, the ones in the traffic, the ones already at their desks. Their lives ran on certainty-not happiness maybe, but cartainty.”

The desire for freedom is resonance with the timeless, eternal truth. The execution of freedom is action to create reality instead of consent to consuming a reality they created for you.

GM I need some new book recs !!!!! Many of the books I’ve read this year have been written by someone with a nostr account. I enjoy that. You all write very well. So I need more books that will make my brain tweak. I hope to write my own book in the next few years. When the time is right.

First time using a lil pottery wheel. Refuse to look up instructions. This is extremely fun and therapeutic. I made an oyster plate. It’s not very good, but it will look better glazed and when it has 8 oysters on it😂🦪

Life is funny when some people’s milestones are literally your worst nightmare. i.e. my friends just bought their first (insanely overpriced, new build, cookie cutter, shitty fake materials) house in suburbia backrooms (real nature nowhere to be found, lots of asphalt definitely can’t take shoes off anywhere), but close to highways and corporate strip malls. Nah I’m fr happy yall are happy!

I’ve been eating raw eggs for like a year at this point, I forget how much it terrifies most people. The easiest highest quality transportable food to bring somewhere is raw milk with raw eggs and honey. People really just need to grow up.

July always feels like I’m here but I’m not here. Cancer season be like that. Into the shell. The womb, the nest. I’ve always disliked July. (Relative to other months of the year) It feels very inwards. But that’s the opposite energy of what people expect peak summer to be. It feels elusive and watery. Way too hot and humid. Sedating. July has always been a weird time for me. Patterns of loss, endings, cycle completions, reflection, retreat, emotional questions. Cancer governs: Containment, home, protection, nourishment, mothers, retreat, rest fluids, tides, lymphatic system, water balance, chest/breasts, stomach/digestion. Ruled by the Moon- fertility, rhythms, fluctuating fluids, inner world, emotions. My Cancer Season Musts: Writing a lot (get it all out of your head) Cold nettle leaf tea infusions all day (supports kidney function, fluid retention, lymphatic system, & lots of minerals) Coconut water (potassium af) Dry Brushing (self care lymphatic drainage) Legs up the wall (lymphatic drainage) Rose water spray (cooling face toner) Cooling watery foods- cucumber, tomato, MELONS, actually all fruit Sleep well, dream vividly Not overworking or overheating myself August is my favorite month though, Leo season makes up for the Cancer puffy withdrawal.

The feeling of home is in the quality of thought and depth of conversation. Beautiful thinkers are harder to find than beautiful places.

I love when people are direct. Say what they think, tell people how they feel. Ask for answers they need. It’s an unafraidness, a confidence. It’s not wanting to waste time. An unattachment to responses. Just honest expression. A lot of people could benefit from being more direct.

Ya know I never say thank you to the internet. Because it’s one of those love-hate relationships. And because everyone’s goal is to spend less and less time on it over the years because nobody really wants to be on their phone thinking that everything and everyone interesting is not where they currently are. But I am so grateful for the internet and social media. It allowed me the opportunity to learn everything possible on my own over the years. To find knowledge, podcasts, books, rabbit holes, research, everything. Things, ideas, concepts I could never have been exposed to by my parents, my schooling, or my physical communities. It allowed me to find me, on my own terms. It allowed me to find other people that shared ideas, values, dreams, and plans for alternate ways of life. Although internet friends aren’t the end goal or always the most fulfilling, the mere knowing that there are other people out there who feel what you feel, is an undeniable comfort. That presence, even on the internet, is beyond helpful to staying sane. The network is here, and for now, physically scattered, but spiritually close.

Sometimes I feel that symptoms and messages in the body aren’t telling you you’re doing something wrong, but they are subtly pulling you towards what’s next for you. A cue for your next level. What has served you beautifully until now may not be but what works for what’s next. Maybe what’s next requires something different. Neither has to be viewed as right or wrong, just different times require different things. Different versions of you require different inputs. Those inputs can be your environment, food, routines, relationships, community, work, movement, hobbies, or any part of the way you live. This is why you can’t rely on copying a few inputs that work for other people. Their inputs were designed around their body, their environment, their season, and their current version of themselves. You have to find the combination of inputs that serves your current unique season, or the one that’s calling for you next. The willingness to change and experiment with your inputs is a skill you must cultivate. This is why it’s important to just listen to what your own body is saying and not grip to external dogma, trends, or have your mind attached to stories (or studies). I’m not sure we can ever optimize our health. That implies our body and life is static and stays the same forever. That once we find the perfect diet, routine, protocol, we can now automate the inputs forever. We now don’t need to be in constant conversation with our body. We now don’t need to listen or change ever again. But that goes against the laws of nature. Change is the only constant. The body is always changing, life is always changing, you must be willing to listen and adapt. By the time you think you optimized, life might be calling for a new season, a new adventure, a new responsibility, Which may require changed inputs to thrive in that experience. Are you holding yourself back by clinging to strategies that served an older version of you? The path is more enjoyable when you let it be dynamic.

I really do want men to know how to use a gun as well as they know how to use a tripod.

“That’s not realistic” has driven me to make a lot of things realistic. Please keep it coming, it’s a game for me at this point. You won’t beat this mindset and optimism 😇😇😇😇
