Why I'm here

I've been hesitant to publish my works for a while now. I guess I was worried about rejection, that people would challenge my concept of reality and burst the little bubble I call home.

I took some time to think, and I think that was only part of the issue. I feared rejection by those people I was close to. In the process, I realized I wasn't as close to some of those people as I thought, and I started to see things about them I didn't like. I started to see that my ideas really didn't match theirs, and if I spoke my mind, I'd only stick out like a miniature pony in a field of Belgians: an odd ball who's ideas were too small to worry about.

Paragraph, Nostr, and other platforms like them change this. I've got a chance to write with a decent level of privacy. I can publish and people can support me if they like my work. But I can be me. I don't have to dance around so many topics I care about for fear of stepping on someone's toes.

If you don't like what you see, that's fine. I probably have nothing against you. If you do like it, great, share it.

There may be a lot coming in the next few months. Survival, privacy, preparedness, religion, horse training: I'm all over the place, and yet somehow I manage to tie things together. The "private internet" of Nostr and TOR and Paragraph needs content. It needs people like me—a creator—to step up and put their best foot forward, or, as in my case, their best ideas and advice.

So here I go.....

Please, consider buying some NFT's or a subscription to support my work. I'm putting a lot of time into this, and writing isn't a quick process.
