"I should have soared," I confess to the night,

"But here I remain, grounded, devoid of flight."

The chains of the past, heavy and unseen,

Bound my spirit, my wings clipped and unclean.

Emotions silenced, whispers lost, a voice untimely stilled,

As fragile wings of dreams took flight, my spirit's song was chilled.

I'm not sure if you're trying to be ironic or if you really missed the point here. Either way, you made me laugh.

The petrichor after the rain brought back some of the most pleasant memories of my childhood.

I'm feeling under the weather today with a runny nose, congestion and fever. I hope to feel better soon!

Pura vida!

#Zap zap #zapping like lightning in the sky,

On the #zapathon to make my spirit fly,

I’m breaking free from the chains that bind,

And leaving all my fears and doubts behind.

Pura vida!

Nostr is a social media platform that is designed to be decentralized and censorship-resistant. It is based on a simple and open protocol that enables global, decentralized, and censorship-resistant social media. The protocol is designed for simplicity and aims to create a censorship-resistant global social network. It uses standard elliptic-curve cryptography for keys and signing and the only supported transport is websockets connections from clients to relays. This makes it easy to write clients and relays and promotes software diversity. Because Nostr doesn't rely on a small number of trusted servers for moving or storing data, it's very resilient. The protocol assumes that relays will disappear and allows users to connect and publish to an arbitrary number of relays that they can change over time. Nostr accounts are based on public-key cryptography which makes it easy to verify messages were really sent by the user in question.

Please, guide a newbie like me: How can I try highliter?

For how many sats? Hehe.

Thanks! I would like to run a public one.

I was wondering if anyone could give me an estimate of how much it would cost to run a Nostr relay? And what kind of skills are required to run one? Thank you!

I'm hoping this is satire.

Yet, in the paradox of shifting sands, a truth lay buried deep,

Change begins when you cease to chase, when in yourself you seep.

For in the crucible of acceptance, the tender flames of self unfold,

The alchemy of self-discovery, more precious than any gold.

One might think that to change, one must strive to be different. However, meaningful personal change comes from acceptance of oneself.

Hickory, dickory, dock,

Time ran out on the boy's life clock,

"Do something, do something," the echoes mock,

Yet, he found peace on his solid rock.

"Do something, do something," the relentless refrain,

The symphony of his existence, a melodius pain.

Achievement is his shelter, success his chain,

"Do something, do something," again and again.

Through the corridors of trauma, the voice continues to ring,

Authority's puppet, dancing on a string.

"Do something, do something," the echoes sing,

A melody of guilt, each note stinging.

"Most people are usually in too much of a hurry to resolve conflicts. Because such conflicts are painful, and often involve suffering, we wish to escape them as quickly as possible. But this short-circuits the process. Waiting is an important part of learning. The teaching-learning process must involve acceptance and encouragement of prolonged periods of struggle and also of periods of seeming inactivity and lack of resolution. Because, to a certain extent, conflict, struggle, and the drive toward some form of resolution and interpretation are natural and daily occurrences, the affirmation and encouragement of waiting may be the most important thing we have to teach."
