Good morning nostrworld! It's Independence Day, and this morning I'm thinking about my journey to be more independent from "the system". I don't know that I'll ever reach total sef-reliance, nor do I want/need to. But I try to trade or barter with my community in order to form relationships, because I know I can count on my fellow man instead of "the system". This morning I raise my coffee mug to Freedom. #grownostr #coffeechain
