Young and naive
Helloooo lovely readers of the Goddess Blog and welcome to another day and another post by your one and only Goddess, today is going to be a bit of a thinking post - as this picture that I put on my post today is a pic of me taken last year and it brought back a lot of memories of nostalgia and such and it got me thinking quite a lot, so I decided to share those thoughts with you guys today :) Hope you enjoy the read ahead of you guys, and as always, remember to get this Goddess some lovely cups of coffee while you’re at it! :)
As I am browsing through some of the pictures in my old phone, I cannot escape the feeling of nostalgia. Oh how I miss the good old days.
But is there more to it? Or is it just in our nature to remember the 'good old days' without having any sense or reason to lament the 'bad present days'?
This is a pic of me in early 2020. Covid-19 was only beginning to prove to be a problem, but already we could sense the impeding danger that this virus would have on humanity and how it would come to change the whole landscape of the world that we know.
What is interesting here is that this pic was taken just several days before I got into crypto. When I first saw it, I thought to myself: ''Wow, I was so much prettier and skinnier back then.. oh how I miss the good old days. ''
But do I really? Do I really lament and feel nostalgia for the times when I was not even remotely close to being interested in the crypto world? Well.. no, not really.
Crypto has given me a whole new outlook on my way of life. Everything that I knew at the point of time when that picture of me was taken, would be changed radically. At that precise moment of time, I was a whole different person altogether. I was freshly out of modelling, I was just starting my blog, I was dare I admit it, young and naive.. very much naive.
So while my first reaction is 'oh, how I miss the good old days', when I come to think of it - I don't really miss being naive.
So this gets me thinking - is it maybe the sheer loss of age that we all feel nostalgic about that blinds us when we think of the past? And you know what - this may be true and even more so, this may be the sole reason why we all look back with nostalgia on the past.
Because I am pretty sure that once we all do a retrospective on our past of let's say, where we were a year or two years ago and today, I think that we would all say that we are much more better currently than we were in the past, emotionally-wise, character-wise.. you name it-wise.
There was a post from my favorite Ecency writer tarazkp (I am too lazy to find it and quote it - but for you guys that are not familiar with his work, go over to his profile @tarazkp and read up some of his amazing work and drop in an upvote or two) in which he goes along the lines that esentially, we are into crypto because time is money.. we are not able to lose any more time - but with crypto, we can reverse that to an extent and get the money that we need with our time.
And this goes hand to hand with what I was thinking of earlier, we are not feeling nostalgic for the good old times. No. We are nostalgic of the time that has passed.
Time is of utmost importance for all of us, be it because deep down we all know that with each passing breath we are running out of time on this planet or because we are living in a world where we do not know what tomorrow will bring us. Scary times are upon us, and Covid-19 just multiplied the fear factor in the human population.
Thankfully, I am devoting my time nowadays on Ecency more and more - because I love the platform, because I love how easy it is to use, because I adore the authors on it and I can see how the time that I spend on this platform is time well spent.
So when 2022 or 2025 or 2030 comes along and I see back on my Ecency posts and some of my pictures, I would not only lament and feel nostalgic about how young or skinny I was. I would feel nostalgic knowing that I did the good thing with my time - I spent my time wisely, being a part of something great, and helping build the Ecency community.
While I have still a lot of things to learn - I am looking forward to learning them. And I look forward to not being as naive as I was before I got into crypto 😊
That is it for today’s rant of a post guys! Hope you enjoyed the read :)
Goddess wishes you all a wonderful day ahead,
