Free time and free mind is underrated.

I feel like I'm back to being a full time student, but this time I got to choose what I truly want to learn. 🤓

Take your happiness into your own hands - don't wait or expect someone else to make you happy ( really, no one owes you anything ). If you need someone else to make you happy, then it would easily lead to an unhealthy relationship...

Learn to see other's company as a bonus, not a MUST, it's easier to be happy this way.

you can add some lemon juice, but I didn't, no much smell after you washed it.

and pro tip: use warm water! otherwise you will be cooking the eggs with hot water, don't ask me why I know hahha 😂

Running out of the soap that I bought from eastern Turkey, so I cracked two eggs and mixed them with honey to wash my hair, nomad hack of problem-solving! my hair is so soft and shining:)

I think I'm gonna do an experiment of no soap for a while - I've stopped using any shampoo for about two years, and definitely no conditioner, it's insane to put so many chemicals in your body. 🤔

My goal is to find out what's the best for my body instead of being told what I should use...

am I the only one thinks riding a horse is way cooler than driving a car?

that's why I don't have any social media on the phone, and I do most things on laptop:)

Nokia is def a good hack! but seriously, if people we care about all live close by, that won't even be a need to carry a phone around.

Turkish way of simple happiness: yemek, müzik, sanat ve aile. ( food, music, art, and family )

It's really interesting to see how certain values are seemingly not preferred or even bad in other cultural settings; I'm not necessarily saying what's right or wrong, but it's good to see what *actually* makes people deeply happy.

Also It seems the LN top-up tool of Mullvad is only offering one year now...

Sunday fun 🍪

I'm constantly amazed by how skilled people are here, and a girl I met two days ago told me that because it's hard to find jobs here, people need to learn how to *produce*; for example, she picked all these flowers in the mountain and packaged them to sell, so cool.

Then you have many people who are living in big cities, earning a monthly salary ( the so-called safety ), living an artificial life even with many debts, and then spend most of their time thinking about what to consume because they need to treat themselves better compensating for doing a job they hate and look better than others - spend more and work harder to spend even more!

Honestly, I think the first thing one needs to think about is how to be your own boss instead of being bossed around if you really want to be a sovereign individual, Bitcoin is only a tool to help - it's when you being responsible for yourself can set you free, learn how to create and produce instead of selling your precious time.

No, so confusing - ₿ stands for Bitcoin.

I have been watching this beauty for about a week now, not only does it close at nights, but it can also handle heavy rains - beautiful and strong, love it! ( the first was taken this afternoon, and the second was taken when it was getting dark. )

Nature never ceases to amaze you. 🌼

only dead fish go with the flow. 🐟

it's really interesting seeing the fishes swimming against the current:)

Haha! and occasionally hinting where's the handwritten love letter:)

It's nice to go back to those old times, too much digitization these days; I realized that once you uninstall the apps, many chats would be gone too - how wonderful to be able to hold the actual letters to read from time to time.

Ideas for Bitcoiners leveling up romance 🎩

Sending sats over LN, with a fun message guiding how to find a handwritten love letter. ( real POW, and it's way more thoughtful than giving flowers )

Are you having FOMO these past few days?

Fear of missing out on low fees.

Once you figure out how something works, then learn how to simplify it - when you can simplify it without affecting the "performance" ( e.g. with fewer tools or less setups ), it means you really *understand* it.

Doing more with less is the way.

a good kebab operation day, IYKYK. 👀⚡️

Some of the fun I've tested last night ⚡️

1. Claimed natalia@cashu-address.com, zap some sats and receive in nostr:npub1dx5q2el8nd4eh3eg9t2e25fd7zuqg7zxz6ldkc3uzgh66ss2yc6st288sj, smooth.

You can do the same here: https://app.cashu-address.com/, built by nostr:npub1mhcr4j594hsrnen594d7700n2t03n8gdx83zhxzculk6sh9nhwlq7uc226, and don't be reckless when you do the tests! I'm still trying to figure out the best user case for this address, maybe I will test it in Nostr for a while - you are helping to test it whenever you zap me here:)

2. Played around with minting in LNbits.

Everyone can be a banker now: LNbits - Cashu - new Mint, but you need to *earn trust* to be one, instead of asking permissions from any authorities.

What a time to be alive:)

and threatening that you need a *license* to build it. 😂
