Thought for this morning:

It's called SOCIAL-media if you are only posting and not jumping into conversations you are missing the most important part of nostr. The public nature is very important to fully utilize new ideas and make new connections while timestamping and showing the creative process in every dirty ugly step.

My content is raw and in draft because I do want to give an idea of perfect. I am a work in progress and I want you to see the growth. What do you want to see? What do you want to be next week year decade?

I understand some of you only like to lurk, but try a friendly question or comment. Offer up assistance if you can.

Be Social.

I'm currently working on a huge idea that's turning into a project and hopefully will turn into a legitimate working thing that could potentially change everything about my life. I'm hoping next week, month, year and decade begin to reflect my efforts more & more.

As far as nostr conversation goes, I just want to see people enjoying themselves, learning, sharing, finding solutions, being real, and all that stuff that people do. Growth, yes. But also comradory & connection. That's what makes me want to come back every day.

There. 😊

Thanks Dawn these are the things that will build nostr

I lost you/unfollowed for some reason. Need to back up my profile. Reconnected.

πŸ«‚ It happens, welcome back to the variety show! πŸ˜…

dawn is endlessly awesome

πŸ«‚πŸ˜‚

you just haven't managed to raise any red flags for me yet after nearly 5 months... repute score 100%

πŸ˜… I learned my lessons long ago. Nothing is simple, nothing is trivial... except humor, that can be trivial sometimes... but not always.

experience has a very high value, you know it... and idk where you are at but that feeling like "if only i had my youthful body again" yeah, not gonna happen... we have artful bodies instead

My health is well, my mind is sharp, and my time is becoming more mine by the day. I'm incredibly lucky/blessed/fortunate. Despite a rash of poor decisions early in life, I managed to show up to this part in decent shape. My ambition currently outstrips my direction, but I'm finding it. I learned a lot by being stupid when I was young. Turns out a wasted youth can actually be pretty valuable if you're not measuring in currency. 😊 I hope you find a plateau with your health that allows you to make the most of your remaining time on this plane. πŸ«‚

i am, fear not...

also, yes, no such thing as wasted time, and actually, feeling like you are running out of time is a curse

fuck it, tomorrow we die, let's do today properly

πŸ’―πŸš€

Artful bodies...love that. We also have super brains!

But thank you πŸ’œπŸ«‚

Could not agree more. That's why I look at #Nostr as being more Community-Oriented rather than Idol-Follower-Oriented.

Nostr is a first point of reference, nothing will come unless you find/build your community. I think at some point it will start to reflect your efforts back at you. It seems to be very responsive to your vibe.

I am trying to look at Nostr as a reincarnation of the early Internet I knew as a teen. I'm trying to summon up memories of things that existed then, that have been lost to the way the Internet is now, so we can recreate them here.

I miss telling collaborative stories, I used to enjoy having role play groups online. I wonder if that type of community exists here yet?

It would be awesome and I hope it will happen in the way you mean!

For now, there is a choose your own adventure game, nostr:npub1l6jqp0h7kkl3zkck2a0zza4lhk8m32ueskkpwzkmgq4l3jymn59q7ezyfy which is pretty fun!

If you have any games in mind ask if anyone else is playing, there's a few who even stream it on zap.stream

I personally love the randomness and peculiar events. The 2 Dan days have been fun & #penisbutter incident lives on.

I would start a collaborative story, haven't seen one in years.

So true! It’s more fun with more frens.

Otherwise it just yelling into the void. I like when the void yells back lol

Convo is energy and knowledge. It matters. I had the best experiences on Nostr!

Agreed, I am on #onlyzaps which means I only see the value I receive back be it monetary, expansion of reach, or valuable conversation.

I will never leave, might lose my nsec but i will never leave.

it is hard for me to talk to people I don't know, also to start conversations, or even comment, like I'm doing here, but I'm always happy to listen and to talk when they talk to me.

I know that it is partially because I'm too afraid of being unpleasant, and that's vanity in a way. but nostr:npub1el3mgvtdjpfntdkwq446pmprpdv85v6rs85zh7dq9gvy7tgx37xs2kl27r made me feel welcome here, so I'm willing to talk to people. your post made me feel invited to talk, that was very nice, thank you. :)

Good morning Pollyanna!

I wanted to make sure I had the time to respond to this. It's ok to lurk and enjoy content some of it is very wonderful here.

If I were to give a tip if you do want to continue to comment is to just do it. This is a part of the internet and I see and make ridiculous comments every day. Bring yourself here is the real secret.

Thank you for your comments here

yesterday my son and my daughter told me (not in these words) that I wasn't playing in such a fun way. after that I relaxed and we had a lot of fun together. guess I really have to remember it is also fine to act ridiculous or say ridiculous things. I over analyse almost everything and take it too seriously. I often need to remember to take it easy.

thank you for your kindness and your precise comment :)

Very welcome, I find my kids teach me more about myself than I knew was there. I am glad your are able to listen to your kids.

Not sure of your free time, but I just read Momo by Michael Ende. It's a fiction peace but the allegory of time and the child like nature hit me hard.

I find it keeps me in the immediate present more. Just a thought

A few years before having children I started preparing. after they were born I realized that no amount of knowledge could prepare me for the learning I would experience with them. I think the only possible preparation was to make room for everyday learning. my children invited me to delve deeper into myself and that was challenging and beautiful.

I want to read this book. I'm truly amazed about children.

it's good to talk about it, thanks :)

It's good to reflect positively on our kids.

Btw I noticed that you don't have a lightning address attached to your account do you need assistance with that?

I need assistance with that. 😬

Are you inside the USA or outside?

outside

Ok so you can use nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm or nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq

Alby is self custodial meaning you have access to you funds.

WoS is custodial so its easier but they hold you funds.

Once setup look for lurl address like in my picture:

@alby is self custodial? Thought they where custodial too

Hum. Do you have any recommendations for non custodial? Zeus?

Oh i forget about so many of these options

I'll take a closer look at this anytime soon. thank you so much for your help! I know almost nothing about Bitcoin or lightning so I'll have to take a few steps back to understand it. 😬
