haven't entered a flow state in a while, so enjoying my time in the figma canvas where i can summon up what's in my head, out into this world.

“be here now” is such a short n sweet reminder that today is the only day we can ‘do something’ about
can’t yesterday
can’t tomorrow
regretting the past is depression
worrying about the future is anxiety

i call my family and say i love them.
i look at my gf and say i love her.
i love my dream
feeling grateful after my workout, meditation, and coffee.
need to preserve this positive flow.
not too serious. not too random - somewhere in between i will find the clues

figured out ‘when/what’ makes me feel down and hopeless at times:
when i am burdened by the future and cowering away from action paralyzed from fear and uncertainty - but soon as i take actions, the path i could not see before lights up.

life is a game - sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. but that's not the main point. the point is that love is the true prize hidden in the process of living itself.
work. family. romance. we can only enjoy them today. not yesterday. not tomorrow.

i used to just enjoy tinkering and doodling on figma for fun.haven't been doing much of it lately. reminding myself to have more spontaneous fun on figma to spark some serendipity.
@offmarket design is complete, so i'm wearing the marketing hat again for now.

"Jackson Pollock. He let his mind go blank, and his hand go where it wanted. Not deliberate, not random. Some place in between.
What if he said, 'You know what? I can't paint anything, unless I know exactly why I'm doing it.' What would have happened?"

that’s then this is now, is such a good mindset for mental health
crazy to think that even with the massive reduction of team size,
X is thriving like never before.
hard to imagine where it would’ve been had it stayed the way it was.
shows how far a small team led by an obsessive visionary can go

a founder friend made this app called soundmapp - it's like Pokemon Go for music.
kids trade songs they pick near their location.
something that made me think:
- these trades are not even with real money
- can there be fun beyond playing with real money (like crypto)
- other than music, what is there to trade while having fun?
/nickname is just a simple thought experiment, but just openly sharing what's going on in my mind, and the thought process behind my seemingly sillyass (it is silly) ideas

gradually but surely - i tell my soul when it shrinks out of fear and anxiety.
learning to love the process even more than the outcome. cliched, but startup really is a marathon.

i compare my farcaster channels, as my onchain plants.
alive and growing
/offmarket
/perl
/tinynotes /69ism
/nickname
/ritual
hibernating
/cheesecoin
/pollenround
/pirate
i have to water them with contextually relevant bangers, otherwise the channel goes and hibernates.
farcaster is my favorite playground.

there's so much joy and agony in the process of creating something from nothing.
this goes for work, life, and beyond.

insta is more about showing your face, showing your life.
text-heavy products like X, Farcaster - it is more about the inner character. that's why pfps, true interests tend to fit quite well.
there's more room to enrich the inner characters from each of us. i can smell it. something is here.

when dots feel compelling on their own but they feel disconnected,
i sleep on it and resume with a refreshed pov.
they are floating atm but not coherently connecting yet into simple and compelling flow.

canada banff trip cut me away from the internet and farcaster for some days.
it was a great digital detox.
but being on fc is a mental note to myself when i build. missed this feeling.
feeling happy and charged up with clarity about ‘why to live.’
good feeling about this week

at best, AI will redistribute people's time and energy back to what they love doing.
imagine an origami lover who part-times as a cashier. even if you got taste/persistence, it was 10x harder to make a living with origami alone.
today? and tomorrow? i'm an optimist. what is taken away will be refilled with each of our true calling.

repo of very well written plain english prompts could be another way to 10x the number of builders in the coming years. interesting times indeed.
replit/github are very well positioned to sealessly embrace such change. smells like convergence of it all

one of those ‘imposter syndrome slapping my mind’ kind of days.

we ate entering the era of ‘taste.’
the era of ‘specialists’ with trained set of skill sets will be eclipsed by the era of ‘generalists’ with intrinsic/learned taste.
with persistence and taste, we can truly do whatever we set our mind to at scale.
excited for this renaissance. here for it

unlearning is just as important as learning.
children play by default, but adults gradually forget 'how to play' as they grow up.
it is what it is. naivete is a double edged sword.

the deepest insights slip into my mind when it has enough room to wonder.
if the essence of a consumer app isn’t ‘glanceably’ obvious in a single home screen,
99.69% chance that users will not care to understand and bounce.
i have tendency to pack in too muxh thinking nebulously big about a concept, then trim it down to a simple CTA-focused screen after pingponging with peter a bit.

a split second of insight enlightens me far more than countless hours glued to the screen.
but still gotta put in those countless hours to ‘act’ asap when the insight lands on me.
insight without action is not worth shit. and insights are kind to those who stand ready.
