Not gonna complain.

Very well said. It’s a liberating feeling when you’re not thinking about strategy and schedules more than creation. The point is to create, grow, expand - at least to me. The other thing I recently became honest with myself about: you’re doing too much, slow down, focus on intention of what you’re doing.

Intention plays a huge role for me. Everything I create has an intent behind it. And it is very liberating. Probably won’t make anyone a millionaire but it can still make enough to buy pizza, gas, and maybe pay a bill or two.

I've let go of chasing those imaginary tokens of entrapment. I still live in this illusion so clearly I have to harvest digital numbers to keep my family warm (or cold, it's hot where I live), fed, and healthy. Outside of that? Meh, it too will go away, change, etc. There's got to be a better way to run a society, a healthy one and not whatever the hell this is.

Heavy sigh and agree.

While this way of sharing and creating seems to be catching, on places like X it has caught on, and likely it won't because that platform is almost operating by a different set of unstated values.

But this sharing ideology is doing well here.

I think a lot of it is also a matter of economy, unfortunately. Many are just trying to make a little more bread to buy some… well… bread. I understand the need to make money. I’m fortunate that for the most part that’s not a worry for me.
