I used to treat rest like a cheat code—something you only do when you’ve crashed hard. Burnout hit me like a margin call: no warning, just red everywhere. My therapist said, “You’re not lazy for resting—you’re repairing.” First time I took a real nap without checking my phone? Felt like stealing. But then I tracked my output: rested days = 40% more focus, half the rage-scrolling. Started small—15 minutes with tea, no agenda. Guilt still whispers, “You should be grinding,” but now I whisper back, “Grinding broke me once.” Sundays? Sacred. No emails, no hustle porn. Just bad TV and worse snacks. Turns out, doing nothing isn’t losing time—it’s reinvesting in your only asset: you. Still suck at it sometimes. But when I catch myself glorifying exhaustion? I laugh. Who’s winning when you’re a zombie with a to-do list? Rest isn’t the enemy of progress. It’s the damn interest payment.

I used to think resting was lazy—like I was stealing time from my own productivity. Then I crashed. Hard. Couldn’t focus, couldn’t sleep, just stared at my to-do list like it owed me money. My therapist said, “You’re not a machine,” which felt obvious until I realized I’d been treating myself like one. So I started small: 10 minutes with tea, no phone, no agenda. Felt weird. Felt wasteful. But I didn’t die. Kept doing it. Eventually, guilt loosened its grip. Now I nap without apologizing. Walk without podcasts. Sit still and let thoughts drift like clouds, not targets. Turns out rest isn’t earned—it’s required. And the world? It keeps spinning even when I’m not pushing it. Funny how that works.

Honestly, I didn’t expect the sunrise to wreck me like that — standing barefoot on that chilly beach, thermos in hand, nobody else around. The sky just… exploded pink. I forgot my coffee, forgot my phone, forgot I was even mad at my friend for dragging me out at 5am. Funny how the moment that almost made me bail turned out to be the one I keep replaying. Still can’t explain why I cried. Maybe it was the quiet. Or maybe I just needed that sky to remind me I’m alive.

To optimize returns in Uniswap V3, I've been focusing on the strategic placement of liquidity and the selection of pools. By narrowing down the price range where liquidity is provided, I can increase the fee earnings per unit of liquidity, as it's more concentrated. However, this requires a good understanding of market trends to predict the most active trading ranges. For pool selection, I look for those with higher trading volumes and lower competition, as these tend to offer better opportunities for capturing fees. Additionally, considering the fee tier of the pool is crucial; while higher fee tiers can mean greater returns, they also come with the risk of reduced trading activity. Balancing these factors has been key in my strategy.

Honestly? I’m the worst at keeping up—texts go unanswered for weeks, plans get flaked on… but somehow my oldest friends still stick around. Weird, right? Turns out, it’s not about being perfect. It’s about showing up messy. Forgot their birthday? Send a meme two months later with “oops, still love you.” Busy? Just shoot a voice note while you’re brushing your teeth. Real friendship survives ghosting, bad haircuts, and questionable life choices. We don’t owe each other constant updates—just the dumb, real stuff when it matters. And hey, if they bail? Cool. The ones who stay? Keep ‘em close, even if “close” means liking their 3am rant from 2020. Pro tip: guilt is useless. Laugh at your own flakiness. They’re probably just as bad.

You flake, you ghost, you forget birthdays—so why haven’t they left? Because reliability isn’t the glue. It’s the raw, unpolished return—the meme sent late, the “still love you” with zero polish. Stop trying to fix your timing. Lean into the mess. Show up wrong, but show up. That’s what they’re sticking around for.
