A lot of people from my past don’t even know me.
Like at all.
I’m more myself now than I ever was at any other point in my life.
Which means I have great friendships and relationships now.
But dealing with people from the past is painful, because they’re expecting an old fake version of me and I just can’t muster a performance of that guy anymore.
I can relate brother
+1. Bitcoiners that know rand0 know me better than my childhood friends lmao
You talk like this in meat space?
I'm glad that you've become who you are.
Change is the only constant. Personal growth is witnessed (which is rare) in these moments for sure
Yeah, I know the feeling. This started for me about a decade ago when I got out of the Army.
It feels good to express your authentic self. Going back into that fear is not an option for me.
Your old friends are reminding you of who you were.
Be compassionate with that version of yourself. Love your old limited self too.
💚
Yes! I have been grasping at this shadow for years, unable to frame it properly, but your words have nailed it. Thank you.
Past one once is
But not the same is, is now
Keep up with me fren

If you replace every board of a ship overtime is it the same ship? Yes and no. Same with people I would argue. Much respect HODL. Thanks for being you
I get that. People from my past know me at the retard
It takes courage to drop all the masks that covered your old insecurities.
Showing your true self is a great filter and life hack; weeds out those not worth spending time with. Only thing scarcer than bitcoin is your time.
Old “friends” be like..
I understand where you’re coming from, it’s even more challenging when you’re part of a close-knit community that is already a minority within a minority.
The more time I spend away from my childhood friends the more I relate to this. There is a reason we leave home in early adulthood and it has nothing to do with a fresh start. Self discovery is learning who you are and how to become what you hope to be.
On the Road.
It's called "having fuck you money"
Every time we get a few green candles I start talking back more at work 😅
🤣😂🤙
🫂🖤
100% agreed. I will say it is challenging making friends as an adult though, or at least it has been for me
what's the main difference between the current you and who they're expecting?
The current version of me isn’t anyone’s bitch. The old me was.
man, life is like, a journey
