First, this is beautifully written. Be encouraged in that friend, I strive to be able to write like this and I am inspired by you.
Yet, sometimes the silence manifests as misery. A miserable feeling. A feeling that you are wasting your one precious life.
When our loved ones are asleep, when the notifications don’t ding, when we are alone late in night. That’s when the monsters creep in. The demons of doubt are always in the periphery and they wait until we are at our weakest… alone.
resentment toward my responsibilities, intense ideation of a different life, time traveling to the past, and a desire to do nothing but seek comfort and indulge in it.
I relate to this strongly, and it can come to a point that it is crippling. For me that manifests in procrastination, just allowing myself to be taken away by the distractions and the alternative time lines. But we fight against it don’t we, we must.
Here’s my take:
One person can look into your life and your work, say, "I understand, keep going," and you flourish as a result.
For me, that one person is Christ. In those moments when you are alone, in the darkness, and the demons of doubt are biting at your heal, I remember that I’m actually not alone, I never was. When I’m fallen, face down in the mud, he’s down in the mud with me and he says “I understand, keep going.” He’s the one that keeps me going, keeps me encouraged and as long as I remember he’s there I never feel alone. I say this as a long distance truck driver, who’s literally always alone.
This is so interesting -- like watching organ differentiation in real-time.
I'm no political genius, but my sense is that anti-crypto positioning is almost the purest footgun situation that could be wished for: people who dislike crypto have it as number 46 on the list of things they hate about the world; and for people who like crypto, it's like the most important thing in their lives.
Given razor-thin margins of victory and widespread voter apathy, it dumbfounds me that someone would pick that hill to die on.
Discovered a new Chipotle arbitrage - if you order a guac on the side, rather than in your burrito, you get far more guac in total.
A little more extra work to spread onto your burrito and a small waste of plastic however...
Nice!
I tip 100 sats to most stuff and click a few more times if it's pretty valuable, and drop 5-10-20-100k if something is exceptional. I also tip really big on AMAs 50k+.
This week alone I've spent 400k sats which is kind of crazy, but I also get a ton of rewards because I tip well and upvote good stuff as early as possible. Plus, users just occasionally send me sats and I try to redistribute them and draw down my balance.
