# Gems of the week 💎 04 By [osirene](https://paragraph.com/@osirene) · 2022-03-17 --- Gems is a weekly series where I share my favorite NFT finds amongst the chaos and whirlwind of crypto. It’s really easy to get overwhelmed in this space. In fact, it’s basically a rite of passage to the digital lifestyle; the information moves fast, memes turn into cultural icons overnight, and sometimes taking a second to breath feels like a luxury. True, maybe a lot of it is FOMO induced but most of it, at least for me, is just genuine excitement about crypto and NFT art. I love seeing people win everyday—especially artists. However, that doesn’t mean we don’t have bad weeks and this week? Oof, I was feeling it.🥲 Audrey Hepburn in _Breakfast at Tiffany’s_ calls it the ‘mean reds’: > “The mean reds are horrible. You’re afraid, and you sweat like hell, but you don’t know what you’re afraid of. Except something bad is going to happen, only you don’t know what it is.” > ======================================================================================================================================================================================== I’m sharing these works simply because I adore them but please still DYOR! 🤍 Cerritulus ---------- !["Welcome to an exploration of the human existence.
