Spent today reflecting on the next steps I need to take to get closer to making my dreams a reality. I’ve been doing some rebranding to make sure the surface looks good and ready for the next chapter. But I’ve also been doing deep work on the inside on the things that actually have impact, and how to move them forward from here Mismir has been my work for a few years now, and it’s something I will never want to give up on. It feels like my baby, the child I never had. As some of you already know, I was the victim of a scam and lost plenty of time, money, and soul that I had bootstrapped into bringing to life the first chapter of Mismir: a T-shirt embedded with an NFC chip, designed to unlock activations that bridged the digital and physical worlds. Since I don’t currently have the resources to continue that path, I have to pivot and approach things differently. The garments will come later as I will never give up on the vision I have for them and the impact I believe they can carry But Mismir itself won’t stop. If anything, it will grow. Mismir is becoming my universe, a home for my thoughts, dreams, designs, and more. Everything you’ll see within Mismir, or coming out of it, will be a reflection of my own soul. Soon, I’ll begin working on a Mismir OS, ****essentially bringing this universe to life in a tangible way. It will be a place where all parts of my world come together, where each dot connects and makes more sense. And I want you to be part of it too because part of myself is also you, the people. When the time comes, I’ll share how you may be represented as small, yet powerful and impactful dots in the universe I’ll also be returning to the art world making art, curating art, and releasing new works for collecting. I also have an idea for an app that could empower artists everywhere. I don’t know if it will succeed, but I believe it’s worth a shot. It’s been a while since I’ve stepped fully into art, and it feels like it’s calling me back There are other things I have in mind, but I’ll share them one step at a time, when the moment is right In the meantime, I’ll be doing my best to gather what I need to create the product I believe in most: Y (which may be renamed soon). This app brings together the values I hold closest: helping and supporting people, being around people, seeing them happy, connected, and succeeding all while ensuring genuine human connection, and leveraging the technology we’ve been blessed with today. I’ll keep you posted on everything that happens along the journey of bringing this app to life I’ll be taking things one step at a time. Everything happens for us, not to us. No matter how hard it gets or what we have to go through, we keep our heads up. Brighter times are ahead It’s time for a new chapter!🌹 With love, Eduard 🌹

I want to start writing down more what I’m not willing to do to achieve my dreams because anti-standards may be a powerful element in making them a reality🌹

My sister is 23, just starting her career in music. She studied music in high school, finished college in another field, and next year she’ll start music college after spending this year training her voice. In high school she studied opera, but now she sings traditional Romanian music, which demands a completely different tone and tempo. She’s active on social media, already collaborating with brands. She teaches about twenty kids how to play piano. She’s making good money for her age. She’s doing amazing And yet, very often, she comes to me crying. She feels discouraged. She feels other singers have better voices. She feels she won’t find a band. She feels she won’t make it. Whenever I have these conversations with her, I’m reminded of myself These are the moments that define us as human beings. We focus so much on where we want to go, instead of who we want to become along the way. But it’s these very moments that shape us into the people we dream of becoming The journey may take 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 years or even more. But if you believe in your vision, you have to stay with it. Even if it never becomes what you imagined, I’d rather die knowing I gave everything to make my dream real, and lived through the ups and downs, than just do whatever I was “supposed” to do. I prefer living to merely existing So keep going. It’s normal to feel afraid, to doubt, to fall. What matters is how you react, how you rise, how you use those moments in your favor. I believe in you as much as I believe in my sister, and in myself. And I’m here if you need support🌹

If someone hurts a friend of mine, I will stand with them and push back. I’ll confront the situation, hold the person accountable, and do whatever’s necessary to protect the people I love within the bounds of the law and decency. I don’t give a fuck honestly about who that person is Friends and family are everything to me; I’ll always make sure they’re looked after And still, be kind🌹

I can’t stop thinking about the flood of apps that AI is bringing to life and the role curators will play in that future, which is already beginning There will be people who create, people who receive, tools that store. But it will be the curator who decides what is worthwhile, and why🌹

One of the best things I’ve learned in my journey is that creativity is truly born within constraints There were so many times when I didn’t have what I needed to bring an idea to life or to deliver something. I felt completely lost But those limitations forced me to look at things differently, to present them differently. They gave me ideas for what I could do with what I had In the end, I realized those constraints were the exact assets I needed to breathe life into what I wanted🌹

The things I love most are being around people, helping and supporting them, and seeing them happy, winning, and succeeding I don’t know why, and I don’t think I ever want to know, it’s just who I am, and I’ve always been this way. I’m genuinely not able to cause harm (so I don’t think I’d make a “great” politician, haha) unless my family which is made of the people I deeply care about that are part of my soul are being harmed by someone One of the reasons I chose to build things myself was the belief that the impact I can have on people through my own work could be deeper, wider, and more meaningful than if I had followed a traditional path This love for people also gave birth to the main question I ask myself before starting anything new: Does this help or support people in a way that makes them feel seen and happy? If the answer is no, I move on🌹

If there’s one thing I hate about these social media games, it’s that algorithms and even people push you to focus on just one thing in order to stand out. They follow you because you talk about X or Y But I believe that limits us. We grow by being interested in many things at once, by creating around all of them, by finding connections between them. That complexity is the beauty of being human That’s why I struggle when people ask me, “What’s your online brand about?” My brand is just me. What I talk about is whatever I’m curious about. What I create comes from my thoughts, beliefs, and dreams. It’s art, it’s music, it’s fashion, it’s tech, it’s psychology, it’s whatever the fuck I feel like Yes, it might be harder to build a big following short term, but long-term, I believe this is more rewarding than forcing myself into a box Still, I admire something I’ve seen from someone I respect deeply: taking all their interests and placing them under a standalone brand theme. They still talk about everything they want, but through that consistent lens. For example, for me, that theme is the rose The rose has become my symbol and the thing people now associate me with. It’s smart🌹

Even if failures come, even if no one believes in me, even if they say whatever the fuck they want I will still design the things I deeply believe in. I don’t care about certifications or stamps of approval I have a heart, I have a vision, and I will do whatever it takes to make it real. I’ve failed plenty of times. But the deeper purpose within me (the why that drives me) has always pulled me out of the lowest places As long as you believe in something, keep going. Be so “delusional” about your dream that no one and nothing can stop you. That very delusion, one day, will bring you to the right time and the right place. This is what I am often saying to myself🌹

I’ll be working day and night, step by step, to bring to life the app I believe in so deeply. In the past, I’ve had ideas I believed in, but never pursued either because I couldn’t find a way, or because I was focused on something else Every single time, those ideas were eventually released by someone else, and they succeeded. I promised myself that will never happen again The app I envision (formerly named Y - pronounced You) will come. It may take longer than I hoped, but it will come. The path may adapt, but the destination stays the same🌹

I believe most creators especially the most popular ones will soon have their own personal apps. These apps will matter more than their social profiles. They’ll act as a creator’s own universe, a place where people can connect with them on a deeper level than any other platform But this will only work if a unified layer makes them interoperable. No one wants their phone flooded with a dozen separate apps just to follow their favorite creators🌹

I used to follow the “rules” when building and designing. But I realized they were only limiting me. If I see something that resonates even if it breaks the rules of X, Y, or Z I’ll still do it Because why the fuck would I let someone else’s rule decide how I create? The only rule I follow now is to make what feels true🌹

Whenever I design something, I try to look outside the industry I’m working in. It forces me to think differently to adapt ideas instead of just replicating them🌹

One thing I’ve learned from making, curating, or simply enjoying art is that true creation always comes from the inside, not the outside. The best pieces I’ve made, curated, or experienced all felt like they came from within. I felt the real emotions They aroused something within myself. They were and are so different from the content we are flooded with today That’s the principle I try to bring into everything I do: look inward first, and infuse the work with something that is authentically mine. That’s what makes it real🌹
