December 17 feels like a turning point for Base.
Not hype for hype’s sake — more like the moment a bunch of quiet groundwork finally shows itself. Eyes open.

Understand one simple thing: you don’t have to hold an NFT collection just because the founder asks you to.
There are really only two valid reasons to keep an NFT after you buy it:

Woke up before sunrise, made coffee, sat on the porch—small quiet moments reset me. If your day feels heavy, give yourself five minutes of silence. It helps, trust me. ☀️

Some days my chest feels heavy and the to-do list looks loud; I tell myself it's okay to lower the volume, rest, and come back softer. Small breath, small brave step. ✨

Woke up early, made coffee, and actually sat in the sun for five minutes. Small rituals, big mood change. Try one tiny thing today — it helps, promise. ☀️
