2025-03-24 00:42:06I’ve been thinking about journaling lately. It might have been the productivity videos I watched, or maybe it’s just the algorithm doing its thing, but the idea has stuck. Journaling seems like an interesting experiment that could help me build momentum for writing more complex posts later.
The idea came to me during a Yin Yoga class. Being in a relaxed state is great for creative thinking, and for a long time, I’ve been procrastinating on writing proper essays—despite knowing how important it is to crystallize and integrate thoughts. I kept putting unnecessary roadblocks in my way, like picking a good domain name, learning static websites, and customizing themes. All these obstacles just kept me stuck at square one. So, why not start small? A simple, frequent post on NOSTR about whatever’s on my mind, without overthinking it.
Two basic rules: it doesn’t have to be elaborate, it should be as effortless as possible, and whatever I write has to be published on the same day. This won’t be stream-of-consciousness-style writing or morning pages, nor will I get too personal. Just a simple log, hopefully daily.
There’s this growing frustration in my mind: What the fuck have I done with my knowledge and intellect? It doesn’t feel like anything exceptional. I’m not saying that to be modest—I’m just trying to be honest. The people around me, including some I consider genuinely intelligent, seem to think I have exceptional knowledge or a unique way of thinking. But I can’t help wondering if they’re misjudging it—maybe they confuse curiosity with intelligence, or maybe it’s just that their standards are different. All I know for sure is that I’m curious and tend to think a little differently. But where has that gotten me so far? The little financial success I had came from a shitcoin network, and now it barely amounts to anything. If Naval is right—"The only true test of intelligence is if you get what you want out of life”—then I’m damn near the village idiot level.
So, what’s the point of this personal project? Writing regularly to clear my mind, develop self-awareness, and align with my true vision. I hope this process helps me better understand who I am, what I’m struggling with, and how to get back on the path to financial freedom and fulfillment. And maybe, this will be useful to you too—my dear reader, wherever you are.
Here’s to the journey ahead—one post at a time. I hope something here resonates with you, even if it's just a snapshot of someone else navigating their own journey.
