Lately being in Web3 has been hard.
I’ve sat on this post for about an hour as I don’t want it to sound like FUD, or poor me, but just an honest reflection.
In Web3 I love the communities, the art, the tech, but have been struggling with the fun side of it lately.
It feels like I’m forever holding my phone thinking I don’t want to miss an opportunity. But when opportunities pop up I realise they are out of my reach. Whether through funds (main one), time zones, not being in the know, or any other number of reasons.
Web3 has been a way for me to have a break from my irl. My life is good, I have an amazing family filled with love and laughs, we aren’t rich but have the simple necessities of life. I have a job I enjoy, but we also care for a family member and that takes a toll on my mental health and Web3 has been my escape. But lately Web3 has felt like an added drain of my energy.
There is always another project I’d love to hold, or if I hold, it always feels like what I have isn’t enough. It just feels like I’m constantly chasing a dream that keeps moving out of reach.
I’m not going anywhere (I think), and not even sure I really want to post this, but also want to be real as I’m sure plenty of others feel the same way.
If you are reading this, take time for yourself. Don’t chase everything because that will ultimately make you unhappy. Surround yourself with good people and enjoy the little moments.
