I often think of this quote:

Just watched the Super Mario movie.

It was awesome.

That is all.

The difficulty of content creation isn't having great thoughts and ideas and insights - everyone has these.

It's taking them out of your head and putting them into a format that other humans will appreciate & understand.

THAT is the hard part; especially to do it consistently.

At a party given by a billionaire, Kurt Vonnegut said to his friend, Joseph Heller, that their host (a hedge fund manager) had made more in a day than Heller had earned from his crazy successful Catch-22

Heller replies: "yes, but I have something he will never have... enough"

Every internet community I have ever been a part of starts out wonderful, and then loses the magic as it grows and scales and “the rest of the world” discovers it

It’s sorta just a fact of life at this point

I don’t expect bluesky to be *wildly* different; but we can at least enjoy the early days💜

A constant among all social media platforms is that we are almost always presented with the best version of everyone else

We also have a tendency to compare that to our reality, which can never meet those impossible standards

Always worth remembering this; it helps avoid negative self worth 💜
