What do you do when you run your own business but you don't like it anymore? And then a friend waves what looks like the perfect bitcoin job, under your nose? Do you just jack in the business if the job offer comes through? I had been thinking I'd change one thing for a bunch of different small things. Not a direct 1 to 1 change. Plus I don't know if I can handle having a boss and 24 days holiday a year. I've been making my own hours for 10+ years, and taking around 2 months off a year 😬

"The feeling of a nervous system that has re-regulated itself is a massive anti-climax. It's not a bad thing, but it's sooo boring." Overheard, and I concur.

'Postmodernism asked, "Can you believe in anything?" Metamodernism replies, "We have to try."' The vibe shift is here to stay. And the unclean energy of neverending complaining is breaking down.

Prague is so beautiful! What a balm for the Londoner's soul.

There's a picture I have of home, and it changes because we can make a new home wherever we go. Let's go. There's a place by the old forest, on a lake that gives us what we seek, a deep peace. Let's stay. There's a beat inside my chest that stays constant; it is home, it is peace, it is there. Listen.

My heart is the fullest and most open it's been in so long But nothing stays as it is Sometimes freedom is found in simply surrendering to fate

I just had the most amazing, unfiltered and open conversation with a retired woman who lives in Dubai. Only the fourth one we've ever had, but the sense of mutual respect is palpable. We don't agree on everything but we can see each others perspectives. If we lived in the same place we'd be firm friends despite the big age gap between us. We all need this energy in our lives. 🫶🏽

I've just told the first of my clients that I might not be here running my business by the end of 2026, but sooner if I can get away with it. This feels like the beginnings of a body-battering tsunami. Because in the matrix it's utterly bonkers to stop doing something I've worked so hard to build over the last 10 years. But I've lost almost all love for it, luckily there are just a few people who keep me interested in it. The call of the wild is getting stronger and I'm not getting any younger, so what the fuck do I want to work in a fucked up system for? Change approaches Life sways and vibrates Fears surface I'm feeling scared and alive

Sometimes the simplest songs are the most beautiful You have to find yourself all over again once you find bitcoin. Because it changes everything you though you know about yourself. Including your sense of home.

How TF am I meant to take the piss out of ETH holders with this violin? I mean, there is such a thing as too small

Tomorrow I'm dropping a bomb on my fiat contacts/clients with a paper on Freedom of Expression in the workplace (because they keep trampling all over employee rights, going to court and losing 🙄) It's a 70 page beast that doesn't pull any punches. And if my honesty tanks my business then... I might be in need of a job 😂 Fuck them, I'm not pulling a single punch.

"If you are someone who thinks clearly, speaks plainly, and creates things that work—they will hate you. That is the system working as designed. Ignore them. Build anyway. In the long run, truth compounds. Systems decay. And the midwit industrial complex will collapse under the weight of its own uselessness."

How credentialism, consensus, and performative expertise undermine real progress

The last 13 months are teaching me patience, openness, listening to my intuition, and relying only on POW (mine and others) Some of these lessons are hard. Some are just reminder of what is right and should be.

There is a phenomenon called “Crown Shyness" where trees avoid touching. I've never seen a more beautiful example of togetherness and separateness. We are together. We don't have to intermingle every part of ourselves with others. We can be respectful and separate, and yet still be together. We can claim each other, love, express that Iove with physicality, hold, protect and be protected, and yet still keep a healthy, discerning privacy of our innermost reality until we truly know it's safe to open that final vault.

It's been a tough 4 months of my health falling off track, of my body telling me that it has, of retreating into myself, my writings being paused, and hibernating. But in the last 2 weeks I realised that that needed to change. The only way to be free is to not be complacent. So I've got into the driving seat again, and I'm picking up speed. This Summer is going to be a Summer of openness and invitation.

I forgot to put my post up! Here we go! rendering my reality It’s possible that we exist in a simulation and if this is a simulation then it’s been designed and it has parameters. What that does that mean for absolute freedom? Parameters = Constraints = Conditions None of that equals Freedom. Yet, life is not without constraints. And Total Freedom – freedom without any constraints or accountability - is chaos. If we are in a simulation, then anything we are not directly experiencing is theoretically a hypothetical. So, only the things we actually see and feel are “real”. The quality of that experience can be impacted by how we interact with it. 𝗜𝗳 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝘀. then why live like NPC’s? NPC’s react, they wait around for things to happen, they don’t take proactive action, they don’t question anything beyond the most obvious. Let’s say we are in The Simulation and we’ll play again at some point when this run is complete. But right 𝗻𝗼𝘄 in The Sim, you and I don’t know that. Within the bounds of what we “know” wouldn’t living with freedom mean that we make This Game count for something? And why not do that by being all that we can be within the constraints of our character, and doing all that we can do. Sim or no sim, sitting around waiting for life to happen is not Freedom. I find the concept of Simulation Theory totally mind-bending - this post has been really tough to summarise... find more here:

a free existence -

rendering my reality - a free existence

It’s possible that we exist in a simulation as opposed to one of many replicated multiverses that all contain galaxies, our Milky Way, planet Ear...

My next set of thoughts are on Simulation Theory, but dammit, it's not easy to write my vague ponderings about it! Much much respect to Rizwan Virk

Thousands of years ago our ancestors easily tapped into awe every night. Their understanding of their world would be challenged by the vast and mysterious expanse above them. Awe is so rare to catch in our modern world. How many of us get to see dark skies? You really have to chase it to feel it afreeexistence.com/chasing-awe/
