Check out my buff personality
That even on days like this, where I am sucked dry of the little energy I woke up with, I can still remain hopeful and positive is a testament to how much I have changed. I’ve chiseled a character that keeps at that shit no matter what happens. Even my giving up doesn’t look like giving up. Maybe it was too much Naruto, too many underdog characters that I related with.
I’m drained as hell right now, nothing in particular, just the old back issues still resolving themselves, the old money issues resolving themselves, and old comfort issues resolving themselves much slower than I’d like.
I want comfort. I want to feel comfortable. In my body, in my mind, in my home (I want to have a home), in my community, in my work, in my play, in my every action. I want to do it at no cost to freedom. I found freedom but at the cost of comfort, so now I’ll sway back towards comfort but more free than before than next time I sway back to freedom I will be much more comfortable than before.
What a beautiful mess, and it’s all pulling itself together, I love this life. Even when it’s a pain in the ass.

Maybe you have to find a balance between comfort and freedom. I have been enjoying a sort of freedom and certain comfort because of the support of my family in my life. I feel this has sort of dampened my need to hustle harder.
Freedom and comfort are not easy to come by, so cherish them.

Life is beautiful, even in those moments when we struggle!
We sadly live in a world that is not set up for true freedom, so it often feels like freedom (which I feel should be a natural human right) is something you have to "pay" a premium price for; there is a "cost" of freedom. Which also suggests that we occupy a world where we are "slaves" to the system; if nothing else, at least "wage slaves."
The theory behind Steemit offers creative people a tiny glimpse of what "freedom" might be; it could be a "gift economy;" bases around "pay it forward," and at no cost to anyone, but it sometimes feels like it has been usurped by "that other world."
All we can do it continue to take what WE feel is "right action," and move forward.
Bright Blessings!
