**Old Happy:** “I’ll be happy when I get there.”

**New Happy:** “I am creating a happy life each and every day.”

It's so easy to imagine a good life as a destination: somewhere we arrive when we have finally eliminated our problems and struggles. Then, we think, I’ll experience perpetual joy. But there is no life where that is possible.

A meaningful, happy life will inevitably involve difficult experiences and emotions. You can’t work towards a cause that you care about without feeling stress; you can’t craft a fulfilling relationship without tending to your wounds; you can’t grow as a person without experiencing fear. It will always be an experience of wins and challenges; joys and pains; meetings and farewells; transfigurations and disintegrations. All of our experiences contribute to the mosaic that is a happy life.

Here are a few small ways to put this idea into practice.

- Write down what a good life means to you. The clearer the picture in your mind, the easier it will be to make decisions that align with it.

- Meet your difficult emotions and experiences with compassion. Remind yourself: it’s an inevitable part of being a human; it doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you.

- Every day, ask yourself: what’s one way I could experience a bit of joy today? Often, it’s the small moments that really matter most: a delicious meal, an evening walk, or a connection with a loved one.

Morning fren

Again: get Alby,

but at the end - learn and practice self-custody.

If you go into your wallet, there might be a sliding option for donating to Damus

Nobody gets me

It should be under ‘Wallet’

Weather here in Chicago is absolutely wild.

Did you figure it out? I got 11 sats. Thanks :)

If you are using Damus you might have it set up on 100% support

Run a node. Bitcoin doesn’t survive if you don’t contribute.

We need way more node runners.

These numbers are shameful and this is what losing feels like.

Quit worrying about the price and help somehow.
