How does someone like you with such a beautiful family have a bad year?
🫂🫂🫂
Why?
Oh man, I started typing an answer and got very dark and intimate very quickly; I’ll share the one that is already public: my mom died this year, but even without that one it would have still been a very bad year. 😓
Oh sorry to hear that... Looking forward to 2025 then 🧡🚀
I am so sorry for that 😔
Sorry you’ve had a shit year Pablo, wishing you all the best for ’25. Your mum will be willing it for you too 🫂
I'm sorry mate.
My dad died last year.
I won't pretend to know how it's been for you, because losing someone close is different for everyone.
But perhaps I can relate a bit.
A friend wrote these simple words to me at the time: "So sad for everyone as they come to understand just what has happened."
I think about those words often. They efficiently capture something profound about losing my dad —something I didn’t (couldn't?) comprehend until it happened to me.
Losing a parent can be a seismic event. But one which takes time to fully comprehend.
Be gentle on yourself, it takes time.
Well said. Thank you for sharing this 🫂
Well said, lost my mother 10 years ago (wayyy too young) and I don't know if it will ever sink in.
Years, it can take years. It's horrible, but... If it's any consolation I have probably talked more to my dad since he died than when he was alive. And he has come up with some great answers :) Peace
Sending more prayers to you 💜
Thanks for sharing this with us man. I lost my dad about five years ago. He was a huge part of my life. His passing was and is still one of the most impactful experiences of my life.
You'll likely experience many waves of memories and emotions over the next few years.
Stay present, they are all gifts.
Even the tough ones.
Sorry to hear it man 🫂
I’m sorry for your loss.
Mine died when I was a kid. I never got to know him that much as I would like. I still miss him and in the same time he still around (in the memories of those who knew him well).
We gotta try to keep up on life while we enjoy the moments we still have with our family and friends. 🫂
One of the greatest challenges with mourning is having to understand your own sense of mortality. Your mother's existence, by nature, has her participating for the rest of eternity. There is no turning time back, so once you exist, you exist forever in one form or another.
You too exist for eternity, and there are moments where I find solace that when loved ones are gone in the way we recognize them, we still participate together in the same eternal space and that makes me feel that they are still nearby in spirit.
Whether you're religious or not I tend to thank God for allowing that kind of circumstance to at least be true. Sorry for your loss.
Fuck that’s tough
I’ve got no words
Just sending you my love
So sorry to hear Pablo :( reach out if you need anything. Thinking of you and the family 💜
🫂
Lucky you 2025 going to better . I hope it will the best year of your life with your fam 🫂
Thank you; the last month has already started to look better and I fully expect 2025 to be far better
🫂
damn homie. sorry to hear that.
Un’anno di merda, ma tanta!!! Fortuna che mancano ancora pochi giorni 🤞🏻speriamo in bene per il 2025 🍀
Sorry to hear that 😔 I hope 2025 brings every good thing into your life 🫂💜
2025 is Pablo’s year
sorry to hear that, Pablo 🫂 I know it might not mean much, but this random dude on Nostr hopes 2025 is a year of healing and positivity. thanks for all you do
It means a lot -- thank you
🫂
I don't really tally things, but it seems to me like each year gets better in some or many ways, even when bad stuff happens during that time.
Wishing you a good year ahead!
It’s hard to put those things into words.
You didn’t show it in Madeira as you seemed to be having a blast! 🫂
Some years are tough … we’re here with you through it. Feel the emotions & move that energy into the world in a way that helps you heal. I wish to you that the memories & the emotions get easier with time. And you’re able to find your next version of you with ease.
Sorry, man. 🫂
I'm coming out of a long stretch of hard years. It's a lot of things but the combo of young kids and aging parents is particularly brutal.
FWIW I think NIP60/61 is going to change the world. It is legitimately hard to express how bullish I am on the bitcoin/ecash/nostr stack.
Keep going! Don't stop! 🧡💜
Oops I meant to say bullshit not bullish.
sup man, u good?
I hope 2025 will be a lot better for you man 🫶
It was an absolute highlight of my year to meet you and you inspire me
Really sorry to hear bro. Best wishes to you and your family for the new year 🫂🧡
Sorry to hear that. Hope 2025 is a great one. You deserve it. Carry on
