Nostr.
Until now, I’ve been pretty anonymous here, in the sense that hardly anyone who follows me here also knows me in real life. That’s given me a certain sense of freedom to share whatever comes to mind and whatever I feel like sharing, without having to worry about someone in my personal life feeling hurt, offended, or uncomfortable by it.
And when I really think about it, it’s actually the beautiful things in my life and the little moments of happiness that I tend to be more reserved about sharing in my private life. That comes from experience: sometimes it can hurt other people’s feelings, create an incomplete picture, or even trigger (unwarranted) envy and misconceptions.
Of course, that can happen here, too. But it doesn’t affect me quite as much because I don’t run into these people every day or have close personal contact with them.
Now, more and more people from my inner circle are finding their way here, too. And I’m genuinely happy about that. It’s lovely. But I also need a little time to get used to it 🤍
