a few thoughts no need to be loyal to past versions of myself trying to prioritize owning things that give me freedom instead of things that take away my freedom

maybe the incredible moments, the moments that leave us super inspired or even in awe, maybe these moments are already happening all around us and we don’t need to seek them out as much as simply notice them

a few things on my mind today >we often find luck in the same places we find failure >lack of attention/audience doesn't make beautiful art any less beautiful >focusing on what moves you is not selfish at all, it’s quite the opposite actually as it often allows you to deliver your unique gifts to the world

"the internet is unmatched at allowing humans to share information, (but) it's fallen drastically short at the economics of coordinating action... permissionless, free-form, global bounties, are unlocking a whole new thing that's never been possible" some Sunday words https://words.poidh.xyz/in-defense-of-bounties

When people talk about sacrifice, campaigns begin Crowds gather Volunteers step forward Help arrives But imagine a situation where it is truly a matter of life and death At that point, the conversation moves beyond sacrifice It becomes something els. An altruistic love that expects nothing in return. Like a firefighter thinking of nothing but saving a stranger's life. Like the nurses who stood their ground during the pandemic. Like the love parents carry for their children. When the excitement fades, look around See who remained for you And ask yourself for whom did you remain? 📝

There was a time when I dreamed of converting a van into a camper and traveling the world. From a distance, it seemed idyllic. Then I bought a van. Built it. Traveled in it. It was beautiful. It was freeing. And it was far more difficult than I had imagined. There was also a time when I dreamed of living in a forest. In my mind, it was peaceful. Quiet. Without worries. A few days of camping taught me otherwise. I think we often fall in love with images we create in our minds. Images never show the maintenance. The discomfort. The hidden costs. Living something is different from imagining it. The same is true for relationships. For work. For almost everything. Lately, I've been thinking about this while building mini apps. Starting a project you love is hard. Keeping it alive is even harder. The daily costs, the updates, the fixes, the constant improvements most of that remains invisible to everyone except the person carrying it. Maybe that's why so many things look idyllic from afar. 📝
