She doesn’t wait for doors to open - she builds the room, owns the table, and rewrites the rules in heels that never apologize. Be your own hero. Good Morning. ☕

If you still showed up every day, regardless of how depressed you are, you're still winning.

Moving from NFTs to dNFTs has been a goal of mine for a very long time, especially when it comes to gaming. But for the longest time, I just couldn't quite get the hang of it. With all the crazy things that have happened over the past couple of months, you wouldn't believe me if I told you how bumpy the road has been. I think I've carried it pretty well in public, but behind closed doors, things can get a little messy. One moment, you're on top of the world, and the next, life knocks you right back down. I'm still working day and night to settle the last outstanding business matters following the closure of my previous company. It's been fucking expensive and one hell of a business lesson. We're almost there, though, after putting in countless hours while dealing with obstacle after obstacle. But this post isn't about that. I've wanted to move beyond traditional NFTs for a very long time. dNFTs opened up that possibility because they're more fun, more interoperable, and offer so many more use cases, particularly in gaming. And I think somewhere in the middle of all this chaos, there was finally a little light at the end of the tunnel. I used the same concept I developed for Lilith MoonXStar. Since we had already started building the dNFT foundation for Lilith last year, I was able to take what I'd learned and use that foundation to start developing Fretful Baddies 2.0. It's something I've wanted to bring to life for a long time, and seeing it slowly come together has been incredibly rewarding. We're kicking off Phase 2 this weekend, with Phase 3 still to come. More invitations are going out, and I'm really hoping everything turns out the way I've envisioned it. One thing I've learned from everything I've been through is not to count my chickens before they hatch. I've had enough highs, lows, disappointments, and expensive lessons to know that nothing is guaranteed, no matter how much work you put into something. But I'm still here, still creating, still learning, and still putting in the hours. So, let's hope for the best. ❤️

Literally me and him. 💗

Sometimes I sit and wonder, “Fuck, am I asking for too much?” Am I asking too much of life? Am I expecting too much from the future I'm working towards, the things I'm passionate about, the circumstances and hurt I find myself in, or even the smallest moments that mean something to me? Then I realise that no, I'm not. The things I ask for aren't always grand or extraordinary. Sometimes they're so simple that I find myself questioning why I even have to think twice about them. And perhaps that's exactly why the universe keeps changing my circumstances, challenging my expectations, moving me from one chapter to another, and showing me different versions of what life could be. Maybe it's not trying to teach me to be grateful for less. Maybe it's trying to show me how much more is possible. I've spent so much of my life pouring my heart into the things I believe in, trying to create something meaningful, searching for a place where I truly belong, and appreciating little things that others might not even notice. And somewhere along the way, I've occasionally confused understanding something with having to accept it. But the universe has a funny way of reminding us that just because something has become familiar doesn't mean it's everything life has to offer. Maybe I'm not asking for too much. Maybe I'm simply beginning to understand that the life I deserve shouldn't require me to keep negotiating with my own expectations. I believe everything that's changing around me is preparing me for something. Not necessarily something bigger or more extravagant, but something that feels right in all the ways that matter. Because I deserve the things I'm asking for, whether they're small enough to go unnoticed or big enough to change my entire life. And perhaps the universe already knows that. Maybe it's just waiting for me to fully realise it too.
