Just a dumb construction worker trying to be a better human today than I was yesterday. Trying to help build a better future for my kids and all humans on earth. Just breathe, we have Bitcoin. Things WILL get better.
If I could not be peaceful in the midst of danger, then the kind of peace I might have in simpler times is meaningless. If I could not find peace in the midst of difficulty, I knew I would never know real peace.

Sometimes I feel like my brain and soul go through major pendulum swings every few years. My views, opinions, past times, & future plans change dramatically. Anyone else have this experience?

When I was in prison, you could feel the violence in the air before the riots broke out. While I sit in my car and loo out across the mountains and trees and my neighbor houses. Recently when I’m at work in the city eyeing everyone that walks past and the blocks of endless buildings….. After hearing everything coming out the Epstein files and everyone analyzing it and how angry it makes me to my core…. I’m getting that feeling in the air……. I feel violence right around the corner. And while part of me can’t wait, part of me fears for how my loved ones will deal with it. I will obviously protect them. But individuals like me thrive in these situations because I’m a fucking warrior! But a lot of people I love are not warriors and aren’t ready for all out violence. Let’s hope my intuition is not accurate this time, because most humans are not ready.
