BUILD

Where do I even start 🧵  ? 

This will reveal a lot of my weaknesses, but I feel like sharing my journey of trial and error to anyone who feels down and just want to say 'Keep Building'. 

This year has been full of failures and lessons for me! Many times I do feel down and want to quit everything but somehow, my spirit for building and getting rejected keeps pushing me forward.

2. Then, in November, I got hacked and lost all my crypto savings—worth about $80k today. It was a huge shock, and it left me feeling demotivated and distrustful of web3.

3. During my NS stay, I had an idea for a baby app powered by AI that could recognize a baby’s crying and tell parents if the baby needed feeding, cuddling, or a diaper change. But after researching, I realized the market had existing devices with similar features and weren’t gaining much traction.

4. In January, I applied for a grant for my newsletter from O’Shaughnessy Ventures and got rejected.

5. On top of it, all the jobs I applied I got rejected 😅

6. You’d think that’s enough, right? My soul many times just feels crushed but something I tell myself is: Ina trust yourself. Don't be afraid and keep trying until you find the idea that will fit. Not having a stable income makes this even harder. 

Somehow, I’m still here, thinking about building something new every time I fail with one idea. I'm not a dev, but a consumer and that's my approach on building things. I want to build them for myself, for solving my problems. Maybe I have so many problems that I get distracted haha

7. My latest idea is to create a web3 magazine platform where every user can own and publish their own magazine or newspaper in different categories like politics, fashion, and more. The goal is to decentralize media and give ownership to anyone. 

I’m looking for help—does anyone know good people who could partner with me or guide me in building this? I’d love to connect and make this happen!

8. Thanks for reading this long thread my IRL friends

1. This September, I spent a month at the /network-statesSchool as part of the V1 cohort. Tbh, my expectations were higher, and I felt like I couldn’t contribute as much as I wanted. I had so many ideas for solving issues in Japan and Albania, aiming to build something like a Network State or a Zuzalu-inspired community. Eventually, I co-created a group to explore building a Network State in Japan. We started researching and scouting locations, but I ended up stepping away from that team.

Thank you for always being there for me ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 

I have been thinking it a lot recently if I should share it or not. I try to pick up myself every time I fall into the pessimist but I wanted to share it for other people to not stop believing on themselves and get courage too.

I’m hope you write this up as an article. I didn’t realize how much you were going through. I just assumed you were super busy and not casting as much. 

I don’t read any of this as failure. I read this as a bunch of experiments and you leaned valuable insight from each one.
