GM Nostr!
[That was for @ODELL . I doubt it'll happen again.]

My first Nostr post, y'all.

Feels like it's taken lifetimes to get here. But I made it, Nostr. Made it to the other side.

I'm finally done bottling myself up into unexpressed, depressive despondency out of fear. Perhaps for the first time in my adult life, I feel free to reach down into my soul and release myself into the world. Without permission. Unconstrained. Unmuzzleable. I'm excited to see what manifests.

And if it weren't for the vision, devotion and relentless determination of so many of you Nostriches, I WOULD HAVE REMAINED DEAD. Instead, I rise today and open my mouth to speak.

So thank you, @jack and other Nostr builders, for a responsible way to speak publicly from the heart. And thank you and @Jeff Booth , @Simon Dixon , @walker , The @Simply Bitcoin Bros, and other road-pavers for boldly proclaiming the good news. It took all of your diligence to get me here.

Just like with Bitcoin, I feel like I'm late to the party. Then I remember: we're just getting started.

Further, we're lucky enough to be on the design committee of our collective future! These are way beyond 'interesting times'.

So let's build the future! How can I contribute?

Enthralled!
