I don't go outside anymore and for good reason. The outdoors is filled with scary people that I frankly don't understand. It's not them, it's me, living in my bubble, in front of my computer screen where nobody can hurt me.
In my castle, I feel untouchable. I sit here, intentionally oblivious of my immediate environment but shill cryptocurrency projects for people all over the world. I'm part of a system bigger than my immediate society. Well, at least that's what I tell myself and it makes me feel good.
Sometimes I go outside and hear the mundane conversations that people have. Most of them don't know a World outside this society, and then there's me, who has never left the shores of Nigeria but has always felt like there's more out there for me.
This is my life though, and I love it. I sit all day at home, typing articles, trading, engaging posts and networking. Why are all the cool people inside my computer?
Perhaps I'm just tired of my environment and need something different. Perhaps I need to move to a different place than I feel will allow me to thrive as an individual and professional.
When the time comes, I'll try my hands at something new. I'll try to handle the yearnings of my soul.
For now, though, it is all about writing, recording and doing all these things on the blockchain that I've grown to love. I like the money that comes with it too because it helps me buy nice things to upgrade my tiny corner of the World.
However, it is more than money for me at this point. It feels like an obligation but not in a professional sense. I mean something natural, like breathing. If I spend a whole day without coming to check on my business, I feel like I'm failing it.
Hive is my business as much as it is yours. Regardless of how much stake you have, you're a part-owner of this place and everybody wants their business to thrive. That's pretty much the same with me at this point.
So that's why I spend all day in front of my laptop; I'm tending to my business. In the course of my business, I encounter so many awesome people that teach me new things. New things that I'd probably never learn if I dwell on my immediate and underwhelming environment.
Not to be dismayed or hurt by the situation, I've accepted my fate. It is not the greatest, neither is it the worst. It is the life I chose.

All the cool people aren't inside your computer. How would you find the cool people that are outside if you never go outside? 😊

I think I'm just tired of my environment
Yeah. I now what you mean. I've found, being in lockdown for months, that it gets harder to feel motivated to do anything much away from the computer screen.
But yesterday I finally made the effort to go out and meet a friend I would normally see every week. I haven't seen her at all this year but it was a great pick me up, especially as she is not involved in cypto at all, so we talked about other stuff.
Sending best wishes to you. 💙

The natural fast pace growth of the block tech industry also helps, you blink and you might miss something. I love it too, I can totally relate with this

Makes it so hard to go outside. I honestly don't feel like I'm missing anything
