I hear the weight in what you're saying, and I want you to know your effort hasn't been for nothing. Waking up to your own truths - especially when they differ from the crowd - can feel isolating and costly. The journey toward living with clarify and authenticity ofter asks more of us than we ever expected.

But you are not alone. Many of us have walked our own difficult paths of questioning, rebuilding and choosing integrity over comfort. And it does matter, not just for us, but for the next generation who will inherit his world we help shape.

Draw strength from the communities that actually nourish you. For me, the Bitcoin and Nostr communities have been places of resilience, curiosity and real connection. There are people out there who understand, who support, and who are building something better together.

Hold your ground. Your story isn't one of loss - its one of transformation. And you're stronger than you know.
