I’m a father of two who recently traded the corporate script for… well, I’m still figuring out that part.

The transition wasn't clean. Depression hit first. Then came the antidepressants, followed by psychology, and eventually, the Wim Hof Method, and more types of yoga and meditation than I care to list. I even experimented with psychedelics, Psychology sessions and witchcraft rituals.

What I learned is that the shadow doesn't actually leave. You just learn to sit with it. You embrace it, thank it for the reminder that you are alive, and realize that, as you are, you are enough.

The daily chaos:

These days, my "routine" is whatever my two young kids allow it to be. Any rigid spiritual practice usually gets destroyed by a toddler by 6:00 AM. What’s left is the practice of the present moment, the raw, unpolished miracle of being alive in the mess. I use AI to help organize the chaos and hunt for business opportunities, but it’s just a tool to reach my goals, not a philosophy. My main purpose lies elsewhere: "How to stay human in a world that hijacks your brain with dopamine?"

Why Paragraph? I’m an old Web3 advocate, 2018 bear market is when I entered the space and since then, I went from hype to hype. Today I am exhausted, I feel a web3 surviver, and I think this is the best place to claim some block-space in order to record my voice. I’m documenting this journey on-chain, because I want it to be like a permanent sculpture of my learning process and my thoughts, here and now —something that remains beyond time. A reminder not to be ashamed of my past, as it forged the person I am today; at the same time, a reminder not to let it limit what I can still become.

If you’re also in the mess, trying to stay human in a digital age, I’m glad you’re here.
