posted this sept recap on X but sharing a personal reflection here: i have never had a content, community, event coordination or “marketing” role, only strategy and operations. much of this is new to me. i used to call it “accidental” because i never set out to do any of the above, but to call it accidental is disingenuous. the power of permissionless is that we’re provided unparalleled opportunities to contribute and executing on any of these opportunities is anything but accidental. stepping outside of your comfort zone is never accidental. learning by doing, especially in public, is inherently intentional — even more so when the alternative is an easy opt out. if you want to grow, opt in. see an opportunity (again permissionless provides us more than ever before) and challenge yourself to make something of it. you may fail (i certainly have), but better to try and fail than never try at all. and even if you succeed, you may find yourself asking “does it matter?” i think it does.

The poet David Whyte describes the unfolding of life and career as a “conversation with reality”: Whatever a human being desires for themselves will not come about exactly as they first imagined it or first laid it out in their minds…what always happens is the meeting between what you desire from your world and what the world desires of you. It’s this frontier where you overhear yourself and you overhear the world. And that frontier is the only place where things are real…in which you just try to keep an integrity and groundedness while keeping your eyes and your voice dedicated toward the horizon that you’re going to, or the horizon in others.

David Whyte mentioned ✊🏻. Beautiful wisdom…his meditations on “conversion” have been very useful to me. You dont get to chose the conversation reality drags you into. But also, reality doesn’t get to fully control it either. Dynamic creative tension with the now.

david whyte is awesome his book ‘consolations’ is one of my comfort books. lil essays exploring the deeper meaning behind words. some are better than others ofc but they’re so short the next one is only a page or two away not rly a big self-help person but it’s like ~poetic philosophy~
