sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

You made it, you own it

You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.

Be bored more often.

Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.

In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.

Great discussions

Join the most interesting and insightful discussions.

Best mental reset I’ve learned:

If your mind is loud — Write.

If your mind is empty — Read.

If your mind is racing — Walk.

If your mind is tired — Sleep.

If your mind is sharp — Build.

Most problems are just mismatched energy. Get the inputs right, the rest follows.

The crooks in the Pentagon are very afraid of the DOGE audit! Look into the background of this general before commenting further on a subject you know nothing about!’

I guess you know more than me...huh Nancy...based on what? because you say so? I have shared a debate and asked questions. if you dont like my format or approach, dont come here. do yourself a favor. you have the luxury to come here and comment, no restrictions, dont insult me for I will insult you. thats the only rule we have here. we can listen to crap by you but I ask you to behave. yes, I think what you said is crap.

I dont respond well to insults.
