Pulled this partner off the streets. He’s under my protection now and well-fed. Welcome home. ​#nostr #grownostr #nostrpets

Last day of Carnival done right! 🎊 I tried to capture the peace of Tuesday morning—sun out, everything green—but Matheus decided he was the star of the show instead. 🎬✨ Since there’s zero signal out there, I just put the phone away and soaked in the real world. Sometimes you just need a place with no Wi-Fi to actually recharge. Who else spent their holiday totally offline?

Human predictability isn't a prison; it’s a remedy. ​If passions, failures, and vanity have been repeating for millennia, nothing should catch us off guard. Knowing we are "well-known scripts" allows us to brace for the impact. We aren't victims of novelty; we are veterans of a war humanity has always fought. ​Peace is born when we stop expecting human nature to be something it has never been. ​#nostr #grownostr #stoicism #philosophy #wisdom #humanity #mindset #life

There is no such thing as originality, only echoes. Our greatest passions, our deepest dramas, and even our ugliest falls have already been staged by billions before us. We are well-known scripts living the illusion of novelty. The beauty — and the terror — is that we are utterly predictable. #nostr #grownostr #philosophy #humanity #thoughts #wisdom #life #connection

Those who seek, find... Jesus. 🔑 ​Imagine you’re holding a key and standing in front of 200 locked doors. You have no idea which one the key opens. The only way to find out is by trying—and there’s going to be a lot of trial and error along the way. 🚪 ​With every mistake, the doubt creeps in: "Is this even worth it?", "Am I ever going to make it?". ​If you stop, you’ll never know. If you keep going, you will find the lock. ​Because those who seek, find. 🙌✨ ​#faith #jesus #grownostr #persistence #motivation #nostr #plebs #seekandfind

There are days when you just don't want to see anyone. Days when I'm just pissed off, wanting to stay in my corner with my own life. That was supposed to be my Carnival. ​But the funny thing is: two people reached out. They didn't come for the party; they came to talk. They opened up. I had nothing to gain from it, no profit, just my time going away. ​Why did I stop to listen? Because I remember when I was the one who needed it, and someone was there for me. Sometimes, being heard is the only thing that matters.

​Carnival has started and my crew has already headed to Lumiar, in the Friburgo mountains. For those who don't know it, it's a whole different world: only three hours from Rio, but the weather, the culture, and the scenery are pure mountain vibes. The best part? It’s a total dead zone—no cell signal at all. ⛰️📵 ​I couldn't make it today, but I’m heading up on Tuesday to wrap up the holiday. My "costume" prep? This highlighter-colored shirt. It’s the maximum amount of Carnival effort you're gonna see from me this year. 🖊️✨ ​#carnival #brazil #lumiar #friburgo #nostr #rio #mountains #travel #ootd

​The self-image we build is nothing more than a hypothesis until life runs the experiment. ​We claim to be brave, but courage is only born at the front lines. We claim to be faithful, but loyalty only exists after temptation. We claim to be persevering, but persistence is only proven against the wind. ​Our virtues are not what we say; they are what remains of us after the trial by fire. In the end, character isn't a narrative—it’s a fact. ​#Philosophy #Character #SelfKnowledge #Truth #Nostr #Growstr #Plebstr

Seneca said that life is long enough if you know how to use it. The problem is we treat time as an infinite resource, until the moment it’s gone. ⏳ ​Stop treating your existence as a rehearsal for the future. Time is your scarcest asset and the only one that offers no "refunds." ​Spend it on what is real. Build what matters. 🧱 ​#stoicism #philosophy #grownostr #time #bitcoin
