I’ve been reading Adler lately, and I’m more and more convinced that humans are social beings. The idea of separating tasks—figuring out what’s mine and what’s not—really feels like the key to letting go of anxiety and that trapped-in-your-head way of thinking. When you wake up to yourself, you start to see your way back to what life is really about.

Winter air hits different for stargazing.

Grateful for quiet wins this year. Merry Christmas🎄💜🫂
To me：
1. Be the “dumbest” in your circle — keep leveling up.
2. Stay hyped. Do what you love.
3. Have a vision. Know who you wanna become.
4. Enjoy the ride — the destination ain’t everything.
5. Know your weak spots & partner with people who crush those areas.
6. Don’t let material goals run your life.
7. Failure is part of the game. Reflect, learn, move on.
People hold stuff in all day and run to the internet to vent — emphasis on vent.
But the internet’s a wild forest full of strangers, so you get way more fights than agreement.
And since people can’t stand seeing others do better than themselves, you get more sarcasm than empathy. A fully open online space is a pretty terrible place to pour your heart out.
If the universe were perfectly uniform and low-entropy, we wouldn’t even feel time.
Autumn in Japan is just unreal 🍂
Hedonic adaptation is wild — the moment something good becomes normal, you stop feeling the good.
The Stoics had a hack for this: negative visualization. Imagine losing what you have, and suddenly it feels precious again.
When you hit that kind of insight while reading, it’s honestly thrilling.

In a perfectly still, low-entropy universe, humans wouldn’t even sense time passing.
what you can do is,
to keep trying, harvesting, feeling,
and letting go.
Asking the right question >>> solving the problem
In relationships, the closer you are, the deeper the hurt. It’s basically what happens when boundaries fade and expectations pile up.
The people closest to you end up catching your emotions — and carrying your unrealistic hopes for perfection.

Steve Jobs said this back in 1996: For me, the most exciting thing in the software area is the Internet, and part of the reason for that is that no one owns it! It's a free-for-all, much more like the early days of the personal computer. The rate of innovation is really high.
The free and open internet is long gone — only nostr’s still hanging on by a thread.
