Here I am on a Saturday night with places to be and places to go. Call it old man syndrome but I would much rather stay in. Seems society is going on but I'm feeling within my heart it's getting much dicey out there. Of course this is because of what I am attracted to. On one hand I see people saying they cannot afford food, heat, and shelter, yet on the other hands there are people pining for their next vacation.
Is it just me then? Is reality only what I read about and not so much which is seen and spoken? I read bad news, I see youtube's about the dire state of the financial system, even the msm reports about 'inflation'. To be fair my friends who are going out tonight talk about these things, but don't really give it that much thought. Nobody wants to be debbie downer either.
So what is reality? It only makes sense it is one that we attract to ourselves towards. Yes of course matters out of our control effect us. I am just speaking about what are choices are within It must be the truths that we believe. The greatest gift of being a human being is freedom. Freedom to act, and freedom to behave. Our most vulnerable places are under serveillance but that is with our own choosing. Cell phones, internet and media. We bring it into our lives by choice. Certainly the future may involve mandatory devices in our homes. Some will embrace it, others will feel it is an infringement.
Some are going through divorce, others are on their way to divorce without knowing it. A lot of running away from reality but on multiple layers. One of my runnaway realities is writing on #HIVE. There's no altruism with what I do. I am far from perfect. The positives of writing on hive is that it's not so much wasted time. In the course of a few years I must have written a handful of shit-posts, but most of the time I am writing about what I have learned. A journal of sorts Hive may be. I rarely do go back though ;)
The reason I wrote this post is because I started here in 2017. That's a long time to be devoted to a blockchain with actual interaction and utility from the start. During the last bear market you have seen the evolution of blockchain technology on Hive. Specifically NFT's, Defi (off-branches), and games. That's pretty impressive in such a short amount of time.
Ok so what's the point of this post? I've been here for a long time and I have been using every aspect of this blockchain. I don't care about the 'rewards' in terms of economic benefit. Of course like every other person I may be delirious and expect wen moon some how. I'm grateful I can write something every other day. Probably the most disappointing is that I require spell check even after all of these years. Occasionally human beings and bots reply. Home journals may be important, but I never thought about reading back.
Will I ever?
