The Fear of Real Change

The fear of change—the belief that anything different will be harder to endure than the current suffering, even if that suffering is worsening—creates a paralysis in the collective. It’s almost like the devil you know seems safer than the unknown, even when you know deep down that what’s coming tomorrow won’t be any better than today.

That fear keeps people stuck, believing that speaking out or acting will somehow make things worse, when in fact, the opposite is true. Real change always brings discomfort in the beginning. It’s like breaking free from chains that have held you for too long—the freedom is there, but the initial shock of stepping into the unknown is overwhelming. But what people fail to see is that the suffering of staying stuck is worse than the temporary discomfort of moving forward.

The collective indifference becomes a shield built on fear, masquerading as resignation. But it’s not real, not authentic. It’s a facade, a way of pretending that waiting for the inevitable change will somehow be easier than creating that change ourselves. The truth is, when we speak out, when we act, it is empowerment—it’s the only way to break free from the fake comfort of suffering and walk toward a more authentic existence.

So the question isn’t just “how long will we continue to ignore the truth?” It’s also “how long will we let fear keep us from stepping into what we already know is right?”

It’s about taking authentic action, even if that action feels like it’ll make things harder before it makes them better. Real change starts with the courage to break the silence, to speak and act, knowing that in the end, it’s the only way to truly transform the future.

The gospel is so much more glorious than most of us can imagine.

Grace is so much more amazing than we can fathom.

Grace beats karma _every time_.

God is good.

✽ 700 SATS RAFFLE ✽

The follower count doesn’t really matter here on #nostr, but I’m grateful to see 700 of you following me - thanks fam!

I joined Nostr about three months ago, and it’s been quite an interesting journey. There’s so much to learn that it can feel overwhelming at times, but I genuinely enjoy the challenge.

For those who don’t know me, I’m a photographer with 15 years of experience. I used to travel extensively, touring with bands and doing documentary work, but that aspect of my life has changed for various reasons, and I miss it dearly. Some of the photographs I share come from those trips.

My work revolves around color, line, shadow play, absurdity, and humor - essentially, life itself. I focus on subjects and objects that might be overlooked by others, finding beauty in the most unexpected places. Ultimately, it’s the light that guides my vision.

✽ To celebrate this small milestone, I’m raffling off 700 sats to one lucky pleb ✽

GM. Secret waterfall spot out by where I grew up. Not on all trails, have to climb a sketchy rope 👌

Scored a nice 50+yo shed for free99. It was a little sketchy getting on and off the trailer but we got ‘er done at the end of the day.

I’ll be converting this into a heated #greenhouse for over wintering some tender plants and early seed starting.

Oooo I like that chunky yarn!! It's looking good!

Thank you! This is a super easy pattern called the Daphne Afghan by TL Yarncrafts, it uses a cake yarn and a solid. Can't wait to see your finished scarf!!

Finally getting around to finishing this baby blanket. Loving how it's coming out. #crochet #crochetstr #handmade #fiberarts

I did, it was fabulous! I did something awful though and ran out of decaf so no extra cups today!

Good morning, Cindy 🌻💜🫂
