Hey Miss........... Diabolika. =P
It's me, your favourite stalker!
I can really relate to this post... You have pretty much summed up my own thoughts on wealth.. Probably a lot like you, when I was poor and travelling, money was no factor in my happiness. It was all about who I met and the experiences I had. But once you fall into this trap and find some material success, the rewards in life seem to become numerical, and can change your way of thinking entirely. It's like money attaches itself directly to the ego, like a parasite, and makes you believe you can't live without it, so you feed it and feed it with your emotions until you're dependant on it to prop you up.
I've lived the last few years of my life on the emotional rollercoaster of crypto. I had 40 bitcoins once upon a time and traded that amount daily, got scammed a couple of times and felt the absolute trauma of what monetary loss feels like... And then to have the added misery of realising three years later that what was stolen from you could have been sold for over £500,000 one month ago... It's just PRICELESS.
But you are doing really well on here and you should be proud of yourself, you're getting paid for being yourself and that's amazing. I'm so glad to hear that it's changed your life in such a way and that you're able to make a good living, literally from sharing your wisdom and moving people's hearts. That is beautiful, and you deserve every crypto penny.
- Just don't forget to forget about money every once in a while. Switch off your phone and computer and just breath life for free and get back in touch with yourself. Smoke some weed maybe, that's what helps me.
