MY 2025 IN PAINTINGS A journey through colors, moments, and dreams β€” each brushstroke a memory, each canvas a glimpse of my soul in 2025 My original oil paintings here:
**A painting takes as long as it takes.** Not hours. Not days. It takes the time needed to say what it needs to say. Some paintings know immediately. Others make me wait. I've learned not to rush either. #art #artstr #painting #isolabellart
#Nostr won’t grow like a traditional social network. And that’s fine. It has room to grow slowly, by choice and by nature: among those who want their own identity, less noise, more control. It’s not for everyone, and it never will be. But it can become big enough to be alive, not big enough to be hollow. If you’re looking for mass appeal, look elsewhere. If you’re looking for meaning, continuity, relationships that don’t evaporate β€” Nostr still has a road ahead.
GM #Nostr πŸŽ¨πŸ«‚ Here are a few points that matter to me: having a high goal, low expectations, and steady effort. In the end, it comes down to this. Keeping a high goal means knowing where I want to go. My goal is to be at ease with myself and with others, in harmony with who I am and with the world I live in, regardless of where I am, who I’m with, or the situation I find myself in. This is the goal I hold. I keep my expectations low because I know I haven’t arrived yet. I don’t expect to get there tomorrow. But I do maintain a constant effort so that, over time, it can happen. For me, this is the only way real change ever occurs.
is a really nice client for Nostr.

πŸ“’ When shipyard.pub disappeared, a real tool vanished with it. Scheduling notes on Nostr suddenly became harder than it needed to be. A friend of mine is building something to fill that gap. It’s not my project β€” and for now, he’s asked me to keep it low-key. He wants more time to test it properly, without noise. What I can say is this: the same core purpose is coming back, with deeper control and more complete features. No link yet. Just a quiet signal: something solid is on the way. πŸ’ͺ (This note was published with this new scheduling service.)
