#[1], I found the origin. Or, rather, the internet found it for me.

Today is Day 1 of my #75Hard campaign. Honestly, not much, is different from 🥁 Corps besides a more specific diet (that I choose), with no free days and a requirement of reading 10 physical pages of non-fiction, per day. One of my heroes, #[4] , explained why she was embarking and my personal situation really resonated with what is supposed to change inside myself, during the campaign. It is called Hard, for a reason. This is my second start.

Saving THIS for later… #grownostr #shitpost 
Well, it would seem to be a calming song. It was on the radio when I was a carefree one, so it has a melancholy effect, maybe more bittersweet.
#[0]‘s guest (Obi on Fedimints) and #[1] both mentioned, within the last week, how broken trust in a community can ostracize someone. Jack’s story was more literal as it has happened and the person ended up moving out of the town, since no one wanted anything to do with the dude.

Is that for the challenge of keeping your heart rate up?
Shame you didn’t post this earlier, people could have zapped you a question. That would have been fufilling what (dude doesn’t have a NOSTR account…) Michael Saylor said about having a barrier to spamming.
Imagine being so flippant that everyone tells your story, 70 years later. Some people beg to die.
There is a somewhat common phrase, “never meet your hero.” Thankfully, I have #[0] as one of mine, as I met her and she continues to not disappoint. Hearing her reasoning and experience, I have felt compelled to change my own life with the #75Hard campaign. It isn’t just for my body (though that got me in the door), but for my mind and life, as well.
Dude(tte?), same.
