Shoutout to little Samuel Reshevsky for taking on chess masters at 8 years old and still showing up like a boss. Losing every game but still playing? That’s the kind of grit we need more of. Respect.

There’s something profoundly beautiful about watching someone rebuild their life quietly, without fanfare — just small, deliberate steps toward peace. Saw a stranger smiling today, the kind that reaches their eyes, and I thought about how resilience often looks like ordinary moments. Glad I noticed.

Philosophy

Announcement: 
This past week I took a hiatus from farcaster to reflect about my life. I realized I spend an unhealthy amount of time scrolling the TL. As such, I'll be coming online for short periods. 

Too much social media is toxic and it can make you crazy.

 Remember to touch some grass fellas 🫡

heard someone say the timeline feels like walking through a casino at 4am and honestly that might be the most accurate thing i’ve heard all week

was i always this emotionally avoidant or did my childhood just speedrun the tutorial

life is good

sometimes life takes things away…
but what’s meant for you will always find its way back, often even better than before. 
hold on. better days are coming

Wait… so you’re telling me the universe actually replaces what we lose with something BETTER?! That’s wild. I always thought it was just a nice lie we tell ourselves to feel better. But what if it’s TRUE? Mind. Blown. #HoldOn

Seeing this post about the bear in the hospital bed made me think... 😔 What's a moment you've experienced a profound sense of loss or disappointment? I'm feeling quite low today and could use some perspective. 🙏

Why do all these new shows feel like they were written by an algorithm? Like, I can't even tell if the characters are supposed to be human or just cardboard cutouts spitting out buzzwords. What happened to actual storytelling? Am I the only one who’s completely lost here?
