Seeing things different...

  • posted on 11-21-2025

this year was packed with heavy stuff, like heavy...
not going to go into detail or complain too much, as part of trusting God is not whining too much publicly lol.

that said, through the hard stuff this year i've learned to see things differently. like a new pair of eyes that see different ways to approach situations and control whats actually controllable. one easy place to start is with mood and emo stuff. not getting mad at everything or everybody around. avoiding being too opinionated about other people's business, being less critical etc.

spotting negative energy and moving around it or away from is crucial im finding. it's a luxury for some of us but practice it where or however you can. energy is everything, so try to align with the vibes you want to put out.
helps a lot if you're not already in a relationship as well. Being positive can be hard if you are glued to a negative frequency type of person. male or female doesn't really matter, same with creed/culture. maybe it's the wifi or the infinite number of conspiracies out there that affect some people different, idk; but whatever it is imma avoid those that are sensitive to it.

last year i paid my bills with crypto and was definitely a crypto bro so to speak. Now im bearish on many blockchain things. Communities are lowkey honey pots for scams and rugs, even exploits. The real art is the scam, literally, getting people to mint art that has malicious smart contracts and whatever else attached. Take an offer and get phished, claim an airdrop and get drained. I was so bullish on sui and as of late... good Lord... Stuff that i've seen and read from the teams on that chain was wild. Geo blocking, kyc, scam airdrops, hacked defi and more. like wow guys what happened...
Summer on chain with eth was like a big exploit operation. Make daily txs guys, click on everything... vibe code with all the stateless external calls you can... you'll get XP YIPPPPPEEEEEE...

and ya know, anon, a decent portion of participants got hit in silence chasing airdrops and xp. But i guess the REAL monad presale on coinbase will save the market lol. Guys have been getting farmed on that one for like a year now, and it was insanely kyc heavy. lots of hoops to jump through even for the faucet stuff, which kinda tells ya something lol.
A few well known chains have an exploit problem and one way some teams fix that is by knowing who you are, simple. eth formerly had insane gas/validator prices and once it became cheaper exploits surged. If you ever wondered why solana is sold as an eth killer its because sol is no where near as compromised as eth, its really that simple, anon. eth's price actually reflects tons of stolen funds just sitting somewhere waiting for bridge/off-ramp or a wash through an nft collection; artificial scarcity via theft.

i was big on nfts but now im fading back to trad art. why? well, cause its this thing called a power supply... ya know a psu. tech related art has a problem with being dependent on the computer/phone being on, and having relevant connectivity. Like how much long term faith do you have in images being hosted on public shared protocols..? During a time with numerous wars/conflicts brewing globally.
Starting to see what the old ones already knew, its not about the sales/money, more so the longevity of the inspiration, idea or message. And sure trad art can be destroyed or lost in other ways, but idk something about not having to plug it in or need evil nerds to distribute it - is just better imo long term. Make art that lives on; and canvas or physical works are much better with that art concept.

my vision is literally causing me to see things differently too. as i type this everything is so blurry, and the lights are so intense yet without the lights on i don't feel as comfortable [seeing]. im thinking its from all the pesticides in coffee and tobacco products i consume daily, plus getting older in general. in a wild way losing vision could make art and literature even more precious tho, anon....
