the life-changing journey with
@solBOOGLE has come to an end for me. i wish the council, holders and brand nothing but the very best. my first full ‘founder’ experience was both extremely rewarding and extremely straining at times. it could never have been possible without
@notcelon @veets__, the holders and the council who will continue to hold things down
it's hard to put into words how grateful i am for all the ppl who played a role in this journey; thank you to everyone who believed in what we were doing, and i also thank those who seemingly hated or objected to it at times
i learned a lot about myself as a result and understood many things that i never thought i would. i understand what it is like to be disliked by strangers on the internet and what it is like to be the tall poppy. i saw firsthand how some people change with success, but equally how people’s opinion can change of those before and after their success, regardless of if there is change present. it took me a long time to overcome imposter syndrome, at times i still have it. all of this led to empowering self-discovery and reflection
i am still figuring out what my relationship to crypto is going to be moving forward, but i do feel like i still have a lot to give in the space. im young and extremely blessed to have (most likely) removed the ‘need to work' to meet my lifestyle needs, but my understanding of what healthy retirement looks like is still evolving. my work ethic and discipline is higher than it has ever been before; for now that is dedicated to fitness/sport and language learning, but i can see a future where that energy gets rededicated back to this ecosystem in some form
for now i cannot imagine a world where i would work anywhere else and have a lot of love for my friends in this space, but i am acutely aware of what spending too much time here does to my mental health, so for me it is about realising a healthy balance which will always be a moving target
i will be more active here than i have been, but less than i was in the past. ive had some conversations recently and am enjoying my problem-solving cogs turning again. if you’re doing objectively interesting things in the space feel free to pick my brain, no promises of returned messages but you may spark my curiosity
this is more of a life update than anything else, all is well and i appreciate you all
