Everyone of us is gifted with talents. But what is really supporting us to fulfill and live these talents? rigid school systems, a society built on quantity, everything is slowly rotting away. I'm so tired of saying stuff like this, the sheer normality of this reality became so dry over the years and lately it just feels like a never ending bad trip. Everybody is so tired around me. I feel so betrayed by the economy in so many aspects. I often feel powerless, and I'm sooo pissed. And tomorrow, I'm doing the same [insert 'this is fine.' meme] smalltalk I do for years, again. And never get a talk about inflation and our fucked up monetary system somewhere because it's a lot and remember, everyone is chronically tired and kinda burnt out on soul level. And this just kept me awake. Just like when I did more earth activism or learned about the wonders of the bittie. Don't you feel similar? I'm numbed. My capacity is full. Like, full, full. All I really want is to nourish what I love. Peace out ✌🏼

I feel you so much. 🫂 Maybe that’s part of why Bitcoin means so much to us. It’s not just about money, it’s about taking back our time, our energy, and our freedom in a world that seems designed to drain all three. But we can’t carry the weight of the whole world every day. Sometimes the most radical thing we can do is protect our peace, nourish what we love, and keep building a little more freedom into our lives. One day at a time, one sat at a time. 🧡🧡
I feel it too. I'm exhausted, but determined to fight to make things better, and yet still numb from all the bullshit. It's a surreal feeling, and not in a good way. It shouldn't be this hard to thrive in this age of abundance.
I feel like I’m floundering about, getting nowhere. The more I speak out the worse everything becomes. Desperately looking for others to be comfortable around and support without being set upon for being Woke or Leftist. The planet needs us 😳
🫡🙌, well said, really chimes with something I’m writing about wellbeing of all things, with the continual grind just for ever beating out down without ever looking for the root cause. Keep at it Franny, you’ve got this.

I am really feeling this lately. I work so hard for so little in return. All my energy goes on surviving with little left over. There is no room to be human anymore in our society. No one cares about things that are beautiful anymore. Every day I feel like maybe this will be the day I collapse from exhaustion, but I keep finding one more day in me. I don't have the answers but it helps knowing I am not the only one 🫂
thank you so much for sharing. you are such a kind soul Kat🫂 I feel like its coming way to short, things like you said, that you are sooo exhausted you feel like collapsing. stay strong🩵🫂
Ich sehe das auch überall in meinem Umfeld. Aber anders als noch vor 10 Jahren, belastet es mich nicht mehr. Ich fühle mich nicht mehr verantwortlich, etwas für andere zu verändern, weil ich erkannt habe, dass das nicht geht. Vielmehr sehe ich, dass, wenn ich selbst nicht mitmache und nicht im Hamsterrad laufe, ich zum einen die Kraft habe, anderen zur Seite zu stehen und für die da zu sein und zum anderen als „Vorbild“ diene. Dieses Vorbild zu sein, ist manchmal nicht einfach, denn es hält den anderen den Spiegel vor und löst oft „negative“ Gefühle in ihnen aus, wie Neid, Missgunst, Unterlegenheit usw. Aber das sind bei klugen Menschen meist nur kurze Momente. Später höre ich dann nicht selten, dass sie sich von meiner Art durchs Leben zu gehen, inspiriert gefühlt haben, selbst etwas in ihrem Leben zu ändern. Du kannst andere und ihr Leben nicht ändern, aber du kannst da sein und ein Gegenbeispiel sein 🫂
dankeschön 🫂 ich weiß genau was du meinst, diese Mühe die man sonst immer investiert hat. Manchmal überkommt mich der Weltschmerz und ich wünsche mir einfach nur Frieden. Ich kann für Dinge gerade stehen und andere zum Nachdenken bringen. Aber so an Tagen wie heute, sehe ich das Gesamtbild und frage mich, ob ich im falschen Film bin. Ich bin manchmal wütend, weil alle so Gleichgültig erscheinen, aber in Wahrheit versucht jeder nur mit diesem Fluss an Informationen zurecht zu kommen.
On one side, I totally feel that every other day. Like, too, in my professional environment, interesting and inspiring professions and ways of being creative and active essentially being wrecked and devalued by stochastic parrots, while at the same time professions or jobs that are manual, essential labour in most cases not even remotely help paying a living, let alone fulfilling everyday life. And yet on the other side, all things considered, sometimes I'm feeling bad for still having to feel humble for being in this kind of "normality" in which being able to follow up on such considerations is something I'm able to dedicate time to, without being disrupted by daily life even more. It seems ... like a situation, a state ot things where we're completely devoid of any positive, bright outlook of whichever way and the best to end up with is knowing things could be /way/ worse and being grateful that they aren't, at least for now. It's depressing. In many different ways and I don't know where to start both in terms of muttering and in terms of changing things. 😔
feels weird to say it like that. since we all just seek love. but this future doesn't seem so unreal. my hopes are still, that we use AI for the better.
I read your post, and I was thinking that perhaps it might help you get through this if you ate the contents of a joint 💡; but just the weed 🌿, not the tobacco, and provided it’s organic and free from fertilisers — fresh is best —, for example in a delicious energy ball 🤭 😋.
Omg du sprichst mir aus der Seele. Man darf dankbar sein und gleichzeitig wütend, finde ich. Und gerade eben bin ich einfach eher wütend. Ich fühle mich wie ein Clown in diesem System. Der seine süßen kleinen Aufgaben erfüllt und sich bloß nicht beschwert, lieber Witze macht. Ich brauch nunmal die Aussenwelt, wenn ich mir *nachhaltig* etwas aufbauen möchte. Alle struggeln so dolle und machen stets das beste draus. Wo soll ich mich neben Arbeiten, Lernen und nach der Familie schauen, noch irgendwie mit Aktivismus beschäftigen. Es geht fast nicht, ich müsste mich so hart aufopfern. Wirklich ermüdend. Danke für deine Worte. Ich hoffe auf eine ähnliche Bewegung wie aktuell in unseren Nachbarländern, dann könnte jeder mal die Handschuhe ablegen weil wir es zusammen machen würden. Keine Ahnung, fühle mich ein bisschen verzweifelt. Und ich kann das nicht so sein lassen und einfach nur mein Ding machen, irgendwie.
Ja, genau... diese Art von Verzweiflung kenn ich recht gut. Die Tage sind voll, der Versuch, Dinge im Klein/Klein in der eigenen "Isolation" zu ändern, verbrennt den Rest an Kraft, der noch übrig wäre, und darüber hinaus ... haben wir in den anderen Ländern um uns Menschen, die sich irgendwie einigen können auf Probleme, mit denen es sich auseinanderzusetzen gilt, während selbst im engeren Umfeld man dann eher im jeder-gegen-jeden endet, weil es scheinbar keine Herausforderungen gibt, auf die man sich als dringlichstes Problem einigen kann und gegen die man gemeinsam zu Felde ziehen will. Und manchmal fühl ich mich zu alt, um dort noch zu hoffen, dass das jemals anders wird.
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you.
The suggestion sounds good, no doubt about it 😋. Btw., I’m pleased because, as I mentioned in my most recent article, something “had gone wrong” – I’ve sorted it out now! It’s been working since today on my profile here on Nostr. An updated LN-Address 😅. Lg 🫂
Absolutely! Truly everyone is burned out. Even though I'm sick, most times when I get into a meaningful conversation, I'm still the most enthusiastic and active person. Everyone is always so lash 😅. It's really sad. But also, in the last couple of months, I also felt like everything was just a LOT. Definitely not my best months lately, but I feel like now times are getting better. I just try to optimize my own mood as much as possible. This year is a process of becoming independent. I don't want my feelings to depend on things I can't control. Probably a lifelong process. Anyways, fix the money, fix the world... 😀
you have a happy and energizing soul, thats for sure😊 I've learned through the last couple of months how important it is to trust into time and to focus on today more than on what is coming after. sometimes you feel a little bit trapped but thats okay. so thankful for everyone around me lifting me up when it feels tough. with time, we strengthen our beliefs and get them out there 🚀 I'm with you on becoming independent of what we cannot control!
Some don't only feel this, but get up every day and just know, that the banking system must be reformed and even know how to do it. I am not against the creatio ex nihilo of money, but not in the hands of banks. They should lend money from the federal bank like any other. Gambling papers should be treated as such. As gambling, where you need to protect against addiction in setting limits and limited guarantees for the winner, a tax dedicated to treatment and reparation cost, because it happens, if you allow it. In the case of the EU (I am Swiss), they should get together and form a real federation with a real federal bank, one that lends not the other way round as it is now (stupid construct, no wonder the Swiss did not want to join), when you introduce the EURO you need a true federal bank and the will to balance out different economic powers, or you go back to local currencies and manage it via exchange rates, that you can influence via money "printing". The project EU just got cold feet and decided to make the people angry instead. Just do it like the american or the swiss do it. Another staple of capitalism, the legal entities of anonym share holder corporations (legal persons), should be reformed, so that anonym cooperatives are the norm, today possible by making a special democratic limited company, that strips the shareholder of the overwhelming deciding power. How can it be that we praise democracy, but abolish state governed sector and let stock companies take over, owned by 51%-shareholder holding multis and family dynasties? Are we a democracy or not? I feel like you: powerless. At the same time I do have the power to help reorganize, should all go to shit, if it happens. I feel inner power - I made the effort and see clearly now, still shaping my world view, day to day. I seek out und write lengthy articles :-). Feeling self-worth helps against the "Weltschmerz". Alles gute Dir und euch allen!
I don't believe in God or any fan based community dancing around a single absolute monarchist. I organize my life in terms of beauty. And as a man I interprete this as pure expression of a deep thought, just decision making procedure, meaningful gestures, that both parties agreed upon, as architecture respecting human value, buildings that values the feeling of being alife, being a kid, as well as the need for retreat, lonelyness. Function is beauty too, not only a young woman, blossoming - the weathered storm makes for faces, that have seen adversity, but made it through - a smile on such a face is true beauty!
