Tinker ☀️ on Nostr: I lot of terrible things have happened in my life recently (and a fresh one last ...

I lot of terrible things have happened in my life recently (and a fresh one last week!) that I have not and will not post here.

But the result is that my old life is gone. Completely.

I'm still going to work in infosec. Still hack. Still pentest. At least for the few years. It's a solid job. But my family is gone and atomized (Some deaths. Some breakups. Custody issues. Etc. Et al.)

I've made it through. And that was not a given. I only made it through because friends and family swarmed me. Would not let me be alone - despite my best efforts.

If I can get through the next several months financially... which I think I can - I will begin a new life.

Moving forward, I am going to dive heavily into Buddhism. There is pragmatism, care, love, community, and a framework there that is vastly different from the high demand religions that I grew up with.

I'm going to see if I can pursue becoming a Buddhist priest. And I want to dive even more so in solarpunk initiatives. I've had a lot of success with that and want to continue seeing it through.

Building things locally, while streamlining and establishing cooperations and coordinating globally.

I think a Buddhist priest building post-scarcity programs and forging into new economic paradigms is a solid new life.

This is a plan. A direction. And there will be deviations, changes, and adaptations moving forward.

Life is impermanence afterall :P

A lotus flower grows from mud.
