the day i clanked $QR - feb 6, 2025 - i didn't think much of it
i had no concrete plans to work on it for another day, let alone a year+
in the week or 2 after, i remember discussing with family how i was back in the uncomfortable position (with which i had now become about as comfortable as one can) of not knowing what work would be next for me
it had not occurred to me that i had already started my next big thing
today, i took the first public step on
@sovereignty (launching the mini app)
i can't guarantee there will be another step, no one ever can really
but as much as one can plan, i have some next steps in mind
i do not have a specific destination in mind, just those steps
and some concepts, ideas, and themes, possibly interconnected
i believe in taking the first small step on things
when you think of seeds that seem worth planting
rick rubin's book gets a lot of crap, but i liked it a lot, and "Seeds" is a great chapter
i don't care how popular it is or what other people think about it
discounting perspectives because of their popularity (high or low) are both dumb, in my opinion, you have to form your own opinions
he wrote something i knew in better words than i'd come up with to explain it in that "Seeds" chapter, iykyk i guess
anyway, this not quite the same as when i clanked QR
same man never steps in the same river twice or whatever
this time, i am not looking for something to work on
i am busy, and i am still primarily focused on $QR
but i felt compelled to plant the seed of something i decided to call Sovereignty
time will tell if it turns into anything
but the thought is not lost on me that it could
today it's just a seed in the dirt, and it may never be more than a seed in the dirt, but there's always a slim chance that it can grow into something beyond your wildest imagination
the beauty of the seed is you never know what it can be
only one way to find out
