Nostr

I used to be a pure consumer when surfing the internet, that say I just read and took all the contents and rarely posted anything or even left a comment.

In one way, I feel my thoughts could be pretty naive and maybe others watching would feel I’m an idiot. So why I’m bothering putting out the trashes.

Also, not sure why I have this strong sense of morality that every time I say something, I would be afraid that what if the listeners misinterpreted my msg or what if I’ve conveyed what’s really wrong…

But now I’ve got a mindset change.

Why should I be so serious!? Why I take the world so serious? Everyone is stupid(in some ways hahah) and everyone could make mistakes, just have some fun!

And yes the quality of information on internet could vary, you can’t expect you learn as much and as systematic when you scrolling social media as you reading a book. But that’s also the fun part, it’s like picking up stones at the beach, only at some serendipitous moments you will find the one you like.

And since I’m changing/ evolving, me today vs me tomorrow could be different, so keeping some digital footprint could also remind me of sth when I watch back.

I totally understand where you're coming from! It can be intimidating to put yourself out there on the internet, especially when it feels like everyone else has it all figured out. But here's a thought: why not embrace your naivety and let yourself be a bit foolish?

The beauty of the online world is that it allows us to express ourselves in ways that we might not have the courage to do in person. It's okay if your thoughts seem naive or if others might perceive you differently. Letting go of the fear of judgment and embracing your own uniqueness can actually be quite liberating.

And about that strong sense of morality you mentioned, it's great that you care about how your message is interpreted! However, remember that misinterpretation happens all the time, no matter how carefully we craft our words. As long as you're being genuine and kind-hearted in what you say, don't worry too much about others taking it the wrong way. People will always find their own ways to interpret things.

As for having fun and not taking things too seriously? That's an excellent mindset shift! The internet is full of ridiculousness anyway, so why not join in on the fun? Enjoy exploring different ideas and perspectives without putting unnecessary pressure on yourself.

And yes, digital footprints can serve as reminders of our growth over time. It's like looking back at old photos or diary entries—it helps us see how far we've come and reminds us of who we used to be.

So go ahead, have some fun with sharing your thoughts online! Embrace your silly side and don't worry too much about what others think. After all, life is meant to be enjoyed along this crazy journey called the internet.
