Division and hatred sadly prevail in today’s world, issues I address extensively in my art, whether visual or textual. I do so because I believe in a better world, one where we cease to lose sight of the profound interconnectedness that binds us all together. We live in times where differences are often emphasized not as qualities, but rather as flaws. Lines are drawn between “us” and “them,” and fear and mistrust often overshadow our shared humanity
Yet, if we were to pause and look beyond the surface, we would discover that we are all intricately connected. Our lives, whether we like it or not, are intertwined in ways both seen and unseen, transcending the boundaries we set of race, religion, and nationality
When we start recognizing this interconnectedness, we will begin to see the beauty in one another; we will start to understand that each of us, with our unique experiences, perspectives, and dreams, plays an essential role in the dance that is life. We must stop allowing prejudice and animosity to cloud our vision, preventing us from appreciating the diverse mosaic of humanity
If my words seem fleeting, look around, look outside, look to nature. From the smallest insect to the mightiest oak tree, every creature plays a vital role in maintaining the delicate balance of ecosystems
Nature teaches us a profound lesson in unity – every element, regardless of its size or significance, contributes to a larger, interconnected whole. Each difference among them is essential for the balanced functioning of the entire ecosystem. When a single element is removed, the harmony is disrupted, and the system falters. However, when they coexist, mutually supporting and enhancing each other, their collective beauty is nothing short of mesmerizing
We need to cultivate more empathy, compassion, and understanding. We need to recognize the humanity in each person we encounter. We need to embrace the beauty of diversity and the power of unity
If we were to step back and reflect, we would come to realize a profound truth: “I am because we are.”

- In a world where you can be anything, be kind🌹
- I feel like many people contemplate the right path for their future, but what if there is actually no single right way?
Each endeavor we embark on leads to another, and another, until we “arrive” at the future we desire – one we may not have envisioned solely because we confined ourselves to the familiar and what we believed we should do
Instead of focusing on the “right” way, embrace every opportunity. It's these experiences that will guide you toward the future that's right for you
Simply pondering the “right” way may prevent you from finding any path at all🌹
- A while ago I had a discussion with someone much older than me, whose mindset seemed to be narrowly focused
I explained to him my aspirations for @lens/mismir and how, while my main focus is on empowering all dreamers, I am particularly keen on supporting artists. He questioned the value artists bring to our lives and how they contribute to movements that change society – in this case, referring to a revolution in my country from 1989
These questions deeply saddened me, though I understood that they reflect common perceptions
Without expecting a different response, I simply told him to consider this:
Artists are often the first to articulate the unknown; they bring new ideas into popular consciousness. While most artists may not have physically fought in that revolution, they are the ones who have started it🌹
- When we strive for perfection, I feel like we unconsciously limit our creativity. We stick to a singular pattern, one that we believe is perfect, and in this journey, we actually forego many opportunities that could bring depth and resonance to our creations. Stop striving for perfection. It’s a journey that will never be completed and one that can disconnect you from yourself, let alone others🌹
- Where you live, who you’re with, what you do - these are three questions that someone once said define your life. As someone who questions many things I hear or read, seeking to understand them better and discern the truth, I didn’t believe them at first. However, over the past years, even though I am still young, I have learned that the answers to these questions are indeed among the most important things that define our lives🌹
- Unite in Sight.
"We are many, yet we are one." A paradox that rings true for humanity as a whole. Society, history, and pervasive influences like social media, shape our views and responses toward people of differing colors, cultures, and backgrounds. These circumstances have subtly bred divisive behaviors, causing an unseen division among us
This division, however, is not ingrained in us. At heart, we are not merely accepting of other cultures and people, but charmed by them. We long to learn their ways, to travel through their lands, and to immerse ourselves in their traditions
Have you ever seen an enticing video on social media, perhaps of an exotic location in Africa, Asia, America, or Europe, and thought to yourself, "It's beautiful. I wish I could be there someday?"
The irony is that we yearn for these experiences while often overlooking the heart and soul of these cultures—the people. Contemporary narratives have swayed our minds to view those who appear different from us with caution. Yet, we must recognize that beneath these apparent differences, we are all the same. We may have different skin tones and cultural backgrounds, but we share the same blood and the same ancestors. We are many, yet we are one
Let us celebrate inclusivity and diversity. Consider for a moment a world populated solely by your culture—nothing else to discover in terms of cuisine, music, or fashion. How dull and colorless would our lives be? Such monotony would quickly destroy us
Thus, we must cherish our world's beautiful mosaic—a vibrant tapestry woven from countless cultures and individuals. It is our collective duty to enhance this global tableau, to fortify its integrity rather than allow it to crumble under the weight of discrimination. We must acknowledge our common humanity, appreciate the beauty inherent in diversity and inclusivity, and celebrate the rainbow of colors our unity paints on the canvas of life
It's time to redefine the horizons! It's time to embrace every one of us, irrespective of our color, language, or culture. Let us add our unique shades to this global mosaic, making the world a more vibrant place!
Unite in Sight.

- This photo presents a child from Romania, a child with big dreams, dreams he wasn't fully aware of, a child filled with joy whose smile illuminated the hearts of many. Unfortunately, as the child grew older, the reality he encountered was vastly different. Sadness, hatred, and other negative emotions prevailed. Happiness became an elusive dream, or even worse, a mask worn by many.
I've often been told to follow my heart, a phrase echoed by others, but that child wonders, and I wonder, how many of us truly live by it?
Below, I'll share a message that was presented some time ago, but I've decided to revisit it. Imagine that its message doesn’t come from me, but from the small child that you see in the photo:
Please allow me to share a bit of context to frame the journey I'm about to unfold
Since I was 12-13 years old, I've been captivated by streetwear culture. It wasn't very popular in my country then, but gaining access to a smartphone opened up a world where I could immerse myself in this culture. Initially, I thought my interest lay in the physical things that the culture was offering, but I soon realized it was something deeper. It wasn’t about the products themselves, but the stories and meanings they represented. Streetwear became more than fashion to me; it was about expression, connection, and empowerment; things I've always yearned for
At the age of 16, I attended my first music festival. This experience was a revelation. I discovered that my love for music didn’t stem from melodies or lyrics, but from the emotions it evoked within me and others and the unity it fosters. Music has the power to connect people, transcend differences, and unite us. This was a type of emotion and connection, unlike anything I had ever felt or read about. That day, music found a permanent place in my heart*
At 15, I came to realize that the traditional school path and the conventional life it was steering me toward were not for me. It felt like living in a cage, constraining the bigger dreams I had for myself. I longed to break free, to unleash and fulfill my full potential. This realization marked the beginning of a journey to carve out a better future for myself. I knew this path would be filled with judgment and hardships, but the urge to genuinely live my life was stronger
During this period, I jumped into dropshipping. This was when dropshipping was gaining popularity, and it seemed like a perfect start for a teen with limited funds to almost no funds at all. Initially, these endeavors that ended pretty fast seemed like failures, but over time, I came to appreciate the invaluable lessons they taught me – some were immediate and obvious, while others became apparent as I continued on my journey
My journey then led me to partner with a person from the UK. We embarked on two ambitious projects: reviving the beauty of “right-hand watches” and making technology more affordable in Tanzania. I invested a lot of effort in these ventures, despite facing skepticism and criticism from peers, family, and others. However, a significant challenge arose with my business partner. I often felt undervalued and ignored. This was disheartening. After months of hard work, I made the tough decision to part ways. We lacked alignment and resonance, essential for any successful partnership. This experience, though challenging, taught me valuable lessons too
After the end of this partnership, I took a break. It was a period of discouragement, leading to a complete 180-degree turn in my life. Previously, I had maintained a balance between work and “fun”, but this year was different – I was immersed in nothing but fun. Looking back, it was a reckless decision to make, yet I don't regret it because that period gifted me some of the best memories of my life
During this time of fun and “freedom”, I was still aware of the lack of a “defined” path in my life, unlike the conventional route of college leading to a job. This led to a significant “reconfiguration” of my journey. I came to realize that my actions had been driven more by the pursuit of money than by passion. I was a dreamer, but my dreams had been clouded by financial goals. This realization prompted a change in direction
I began to reflect deeply on what I truly loved, seeking that one thing I would always enjoy doing. It became clear to me that my passion lay in connecting with and empowering people, and in expression. The challenge then was to find a way to combine these elements into something tangible, something that resonated with my true self
And thus, my heart turned to music, a passion that had resonated deeply within me. I vividly remember the goosebumps at my first music festival, surrounded by a sea of people united by rhythm and emotion. That emotion and profound sense of connection was something I longed to recreate and share with others. But I wanted to go beyond just creating music; I aimed to empower people through it. Initially, everything seemed perfect – I was thoroughly enjoying the process of creating and learning about music. Yet, I soon faced a harsh reality: making a living from music and using it as a tool for empowerment proved to be incredibly challenging. After two years of striving to make this dream a reality, I realized I needed to find a more sustainable way to intertwine my passions
During my high school years, while navigating these creative endeavors, I constantly wrote down ideas – concepts for things I wanted to create or simply thoughts on what might be interesting to pursue. Among these numerous ideas, the idea of a streetwear brand was the one that was shouting my name the loudest. It was already a cherished idea, yet I hesitated to act on it initially, feeling unprepared. Over time, however, I've learned the importance of seizing opportunities and acting on ideas that ignite a strong sense of passion within me
Excited and energized by my newfound direction, I immediately began working on my first venture in fashion, which was essentially a T-shirt business rather than a fully-fledged brand. Unfortunately, this idea involved using logos and products from other brands, leading to concerns about potential legal issues. Despite receiving positive feedback and encouragement, I hesitated, fearing the repercussions. Financial constraints added to my apprehension, but this did not deter me from moving forward
At the same time, I was building the foundation for Mismir, a fashion brand that embodied the principles I cherished: empowerment, expression, and connection. After much dedication and hard work, Mismir was finally launched
A unique aspect of @lens/mismir was the “Mismir Society,” a concept I introduced to foster a deeper sense of community. To be part of the community you simply had to purchase a garment, so that you could’ve shown your desire to engage more deeply. The purpose was to collaborate with these members, empowering and co-creating with them. Among the many ideas that I had, the most ambitious one was to incorporate their stories into our garments, selling these and providing them with royalties from the sales, thus enabling them to earn from their stories ( passions, etc. ). This initiative wasn’t designed as a business model but as a way to open people's eyes and hearts to their potential, helping them financially pursue their dreams. Yet, a significant challenge arose: verifying the true owners of our garments and devising a practical method to reward them appropriately
During the early stages of running Mismir, and even before its official launch, my curious nature led me to a groundbreaking discovery: NFTs. Grasping their potential, I realized that NFTs could be the missing piece in my puzzle. This tech appeared to be the perfect solution to the challenges I faced, particularly in terms of verifying ownership and rewarding the community in a meaningful way
Embracing this new direction, I decided to steer Mismir onto a path more aligned than ever with its core values. NFTs not only changed the brand but also my perspective on how tech could enhance our connections and interactions
For the past 2-3 years, my life has been a whirlwind of dedication and creativity, tirelessly working to bring the vision of Mismir to fruition. This journey with the brand has been relentless, yet incredibly rewarding. Now, I find myself closer than ever to realizing this dream
Yet, the essence of this story isn't just about Mismir or my other endeavors. I aim to shed light on a more profound realization. In my early years of trying to create something meaningful, my focus was predominantly on financial gain, and it seemed like progress was elusive. However, a significant shift occurred over the past few years. I began to follow my heart, dedicating myself to what I truly love and striving to contribute positively to humanity. Remarkably, things started to fall into place
In this journey, I've encountered people who resonated with my vision, people I never imagined I would meet, let alone receive support from. I've connected with successful business owners from various countries, all of whom have shown a genuine interest in my vision and offered their support, without any solicitation from my side. Their initiative has been both surprising and affirming
Even though my dream is still just that – a dream, far from its full realization – and I don't possess anything tangible yet, I can see the pieces of the puzzle fitting together. I am aware that the outcome may not be exactly as I envision, but I'm confident that it will unfold in the way it's meant for me. Every journey has its purpose and lessons…
The key takeaway I want to share from my lengthy message is this: when you genuinely put your heart into something, aligning your actions with your deepest passions, the universe has a way of orchestrating events and connections that support your path. It's a testament to the power of following your heart...
So, my final word of advice is this: Stop chasing money, and start following your heart. Yes, this advice comes from someone who doesn't have a lot of money, someone who might not be deemed “successful” in conventional terms. But more importantly, it comes from someone who has experienced firsthand the difference between doing things for monetary gain and doing them out of genuine love and passion.
I’m sharing this not just for you, but for myself too; to reaffirm what it truly means to follow one's heart. Whether you take this message to heart or not is your choice. My intention is not to persuade, but to share a piece of my truth
If you doubt my words, just look at the young Eduard. Look at the genuine smile and the brightness on his face—there were no masks, only authenticity. Why? Because as a child, he always followed his heart, regardless of others' advice. He fell down, but he got up again and again until he managed to bring about the change he always desired in his life and in the lives of others.
To everyone who has taken the time to read this message: I am grateful. Your time and attention mean the world to me. If this resonates with you, I would love to hear your thoughts and express my gratitude personally. Please feel free to comment below!
Money isn't everything, especially in the complex world we navigate today. True fulfillment often lies in the paths we carve with our hearts…
Thank you for being a part of my journey!
Much love,
Eduard🌹
- Thank you so much!🫶🏼🌹
- The one thing that will enhance the emotional and social value of products, regardless of the industry, is co-creation. It gives people a feeling of ownership, attachment, and identity, essentially tapping into three elements that we innately yearn for🌹
- The only way to “escape” competition is to be authentic. Whether you consider this from the perspective of an individual or a business/brand, I believe it holds true. No one else possesses what you have. The aspects you perceive as different, the traits you may consider flaws, are actually your greatest assets. These are the elements that will always make you stand out and resonate🌹

sometimes you catch a glimpse of hope
but life is moving so fast that it won’t last
with everything nearly the speed of sound
how do you get back to the past?
as i will post all together, this is another image that had been hoarded for potential SR genesis. purely a nature generative assisted by modern flight and impeccable timing of the universe. returning to NYC after touring with stephen marley, my first summer as a freelancer, feeling like yes i can do this. i don’t need a “real job” in an office. the future was feeling bright at this moment, like i made the right decision to walk away from a cush salary and pursue my creative dreams.

- A significant problem within the fashion industry imo has been its lack of inclusivity, an issue that I still observe today. The main problem behind its stagnation imo is that consumers often place the entire blame on designers and brands. Yet, imo, if we desire a more inclusive industry, it is also the responsibility of us as consumers. Only when all three parties—consumers, designers, and brands—come together, can traditional beauty standards be challenged, leading to a more diverse and empowering fashion landscape. I see positive steps being taken in this direction; brands are becoming more inclusive, as are consumers. However, I believe we still have a long way to go before we reach that point🌹
- Co-creation serves as a powerful reminder to consumers that they are pivotal to the success of a brand. It empowers them, giving them a tangible voice within the brand's journey
This connection breeds a sense of loyalty and belonging. When consumers feel genuinely heard and valued, they become enthusiastic advocates, eager to share their experiences with others
Co-creation, therefore, imo, is an essential strategy for brands to harness the prowess of word-of-mouth marketing
And it’s not just about involving consumers; it's about creating a genuine “partnership” that amplifies brand resonance and loyalty organically🌹
- Thank you deeply to each of you who filled my heart with joy through your beautiful words and for taking the time to wish me a happy birthday!
In your words, I felt genuine warmth, love, kindness, and empathy!
You've made this day truly special! I never imagined that people from the internet, whom I've never met in person, would show such kindness and empathy toward me!
You've shown me that you havw within the values that resonate deeply within me and those I've poured into my piece, Aurora!
Thank you for renewing my faith in our ability to create a better world!
I appreciate each and every one of you! Your gesture will always be remembered
Thank you once again!
Much love,
Eduard🌹
- Thank you so so much! Means the world!❤️🌹
- Thank you so much, beautiful soul!!❤️🌹
- Thank you so much beautiful soul!❤️🌹
- Thank you beautiful soul!❤️🌹
- Today is my birthday, and I wanted to share a special piece with the world. I wanted to share something that holds a special place in my heart; it's a reflection of myself and embodies values deeply ingrained in my soul. I hope it resonates with and fulfills your souls as well!
Aurora is by far the most significant piece I’ve ever created. It embodies all the kindness, love, and empathy that reside within me. Through this piece, I aim not only to convey a textual and visual message but also to evoke the unseen, unheard, yet deeply felt values that have the power to change the world
In everything I create, whether it’s a written work, a visual piece, or a simple interaction, these three virtues are always present. Why? Because I believe the world is in dire need of them. I believe in their transformative power
To whoever becomes the collector of this piece, I hope that each time you gaze upon it in your collection, you are filled with love, kindness, and empathy, and reminded of the beauty inherent in them
Thank you🌹

- An outstanding piece by @lens/regula
It's not just about the visuals; the textual aspect is equally captivating. Their symbiotic relationship adds depth to the overall experience created by both
She's new here and experimenting! Let's help her see why Lens is so beautiful and transformative!
By uplifting others, we are ultimately uplifting ourselves!🌹
- When we discuss bringing fashion into the digital realm, it's common to focus solely on digitizing physical garments
Yet, if we look deeper we would realize that fashion is everything. It embodies an entire ecosystem that includes elements of culture, politics, music, and beyond
Thus, when we bring fashion into the digital world, we're not merely “reproducing” garments; we're translating an elaborate tapestry of influences and experiences
This approach imo opens doors to innovative possibilities within the digital fashion landscape🌹
- Love. Kindness. Empathy.
Love - It's a broad concept that tends to be confined to our personal circle of family and friends. The true power of love, however, expands beyond this boundary; it thrives in the compassion we extend to strangers, the solace we provide to the distressed, and the listening ear we lend to those unheard. In its purest form, love can serve as the catalyst for positive change, inspiring others to act with kindness and igniting a chain reaction of loving and uplifting gestures. And it doesn’t end here. Love gives birth to other essential virtues.
Kindness - Nestled within each of us, but often muffled by life's trials and tribulations. When love is stirred within us, our natural kindness emerges and pervades our interactions with others. Its significance has dwindled over time, but if we wish to spark change, influence others, and transform our world, we must rekindle our kindness. With love and kindness, a new virtue arises.
Empathy - When life's rat race engulfs us, empathy is our refuge. Empathy provides us with the vision to understand, the patience to listen, and the strength to respond with compassion even in the face of adversity. Empathy is our armor against the world's hostility, transforming conflict into calm and aggression into understanding. It teaches that kindness, rather than combat, reaches hearts and solves problems. Empathy, thus, becomes a catalyst for personal and societal change.
Unity - When we're steeped in love, kindness, and empathy, unity comes naturally. We put aside our differences and recognize that we are stronger together. We can weather any storm together, celebrate life's joys more fully, and co-create a world we're proud to live in. Unity is the essence of life; it is constantly challenged but must be fiercely guarded to achieve the harmonious world we envision.
We are living in a world rife with division and discord. A world in which I wouldn’t want anyone to live. And in this world, I feel the call to embrace love, kindness, and empathy has never been more urgent. Let us heed this call with unwavering commitment and compassion. It is through these virtues that we can pave the path to unity and collective prosperity.
By embracing these virtues, we not only craft a better future for ourselves as individuals but also sow the seeds of a more harmonious and interconnected world. Together, we must strive for a future where love reigns supreme, kindness abounds, and empathy knows no bounds. This is our collective journey, our shared responsibility, and our greatest opportunity for lasting change.
Be more loving. Be kinder. Be more empathetic.

Will be resharing this perhaps daily in the upcoming days, so please accept any “spam” that you may receive from it. But if I am not my biggest supporter, who would it be, right?
Thank you very much for your understanding!
Have a blessed day and week!🙏🏻🌹
- We need to see and love the beauty in people's differences. Often, it's these differences that we tend to judge, but what if we shift our perspective and understand that these unique qualities are what make individuals beautiful? They are the ones adding vibrant colors to the tapestry of life🌹
- Since I've entered this space, I've discovered so many talented souls who were struggling to make a living doing what they love, primarily because of the limitations of the environments in which they were present, both past and present
What we have here is truly restoring artists' faith in themselves, offering them the opportunity to sustain themselves while pursuing their passions. I've spent days gazing at works of art, listening to songs, each one more beautiful than the last
Without this space, I likely wouldn't have come across these artists
What we're witnessing now is the future unfolding before us. We are actively shaping the future of the world by empowering artists. We are returning to them what they rightfully deserve, and in return, they continue to enrich our lives with their creativity. The only difference now is that they are genuinely valued and appreciated for their contributions
It's truly inspiring! I am more than happy to be a part of this “movement” and to witness the positive impact it's having on so many lives🌹

- One of the most beautiful aspects of art that I love is its ability to inspire the creation of further art within people's minds
Each time we gaze upon a piece, something new ignites within us; a fresh perspective emerges, allowing us to see things differently from the norm
This ability to perceive things from alternative stances is one of the most captivating aspects of art
It creates an ongoing cycle of artistic exploration, all stemming from a single piece🌹
- This is one of the most important and soulful messages I’ve ever written
It’s also the one I hesitated to share, but I’ve decided to follow my heart🌹
- One of the kindest, most loving, empathetic, and wisest people I've had the privilege to meet on my journey!
Someone for whom I will always be grateful!
Thank you for being who you are, @lens/jessyjeanne
You are loved and cherished!🙏🏻🌹
- This post holds huge significance for me, and I pondered over whether to share it. I still can’t believe I am doing it:
Over the past two years, I've poured my heart and soul into @lens/mismir . I've devoted the majority of my time to bringing it to life. It's an entity through which I genuinely believe I can make a positive impact, something that brings me immense joy in its creation, breathing life into its elements. It's become ingrained in my soul - I never imagined something could mean so much to me
Now, I stand on the brink of unveiling my creation to the world. The time has arrived for it to step into the spotlight. Despite my excitement, I've carefully considered the best approach for its release. Initially, I contemplated selling NFTs to secure the necessary funding to bring The Prologue, the inaugural physical garment, to life. While this remains an option, I am inclined to opt for a different path
As I aspire to raise awareness of the transformative potential of Web 3, beyond its technological aspects, I am eager to launch the garment from the outset. However, my background presents certain limitations. I have sought the optimal method to bring them to fruition, one that ensures sustainability and maintains the highest quality for the brand's community. Given the costliness of fashion creation in my country, this approach seemed unfeasible initially due to financial constraints
Yet, I now perceive an opportunity to breathe life into my vision. I am confident that I can realize my original plan and bring my desired product to fruition. This marks an exciting moment for me, as I prepare to witness its realization
Though challenges persist, I now perceive a pathway forward. It's time to realize my original vision, breathe life into my envisioned product, and witness its manifestation
Here is what the collectors, those who believe in my dream and vision, will receive as a token of gratitude for their support:
Firstly I intend to create a private group—perhaps on Telegram—exclusively for you, the collectors. Within this group, I will share the steps I am taking toward realizing my vision. I commit to maintaining transparency in all our interactions. Furthermore, your contributions will always be acknowledged with gratitude, in the present and future of Mismir
Secondly, I offer lifetime access to Mismir products as a gesture of appreciation. Whether they are physical or digital items/garments, or other offerings, you will have complimentary access. To ensure fairness, we will collectively establish reasonable limits per collection - Including The Prologue, of course
Moreover, as the brand evolves and embarks on new ventures, I am committed to offering additional benefits to you. They will be determined through collective discussion and agreement, ensuring that your support is met with meaningful rewards
Where Will the Funds Be Allocated:
The funds raised will be allocated towards bringing The Prologue to fruition. This encompasses all aspects of the garment, including NFC chips, garment production, and packaging, ensuring a comprehensive and immersive experience
A part of the funds will also be dedicated to content creation. Content serves as an essential tool for garnering attention and fostering engagement. Through The Prologue and its elements, I aim to curate impactful content that enlightens the transformative potential of Web 3. Leveraging both Web 2 and Web 3 platforms, this content will show how it reshapes people's relationships with brands, others, and even themselves
If you wish to learn more about Mismir, I've written an article here about its past, present, and future:

- The only thing that scares me in this life is growing older and spending time with my nephews, only to have them ask about stories from my life, and instead of being able to tell them myself, someone else ends up narrating my experiences for me
Essentially, the fear of not being the author of my own story is what scares me the most🌹
- A beautiful soul! A wonderful vision! Check this out!!🙏🏻🫶🏼🌹
- Throughout the entire week, I had a different topic in mind to write about. However, as I began to delve into it, I realized that perhaps it wasn't the right time to address it. Thus, I had to adapt quickly and come up with a new idea on the spot. Luckily (or perhaps unluckily, lol), my mind is always buzzing with ideas, and I had this particular topic in mind for quite some time
"The Silent Symphony 🌹" is my exploration of the interconnected worlds of music, fashion, and storytelling. Rather than looking at each of these elements individually, I aim to explore how they intertwine and form a cohesive whole. Despite their apparent differences, I believe they are all facets of the same entity
While this piece is brief, it includes two paths that lead to longer essays of mine, which delve deeper into the ideas presented here, offering additional insight and understanding
Moreover, this journey is enhanced by two beautiful souls; two enchanting artists— @lens/lilithpiercink and @lens/mooncath

Thank you!🌹

- imo for any artist, it's crucial to remember that the strength of your community doesn't lie in the number of followers but in the one of your supporters
An account with thousands of followers might seem impressive, but it's the one with fewer, more engaged supporters that truly thrives
These supporters do more than just follow; they interact, share, and often contribute to the artist's sustainability and growth
As artists, we should focus less on expanding our follower count and more on deepening connections with our supporters
After all, a small group of dedicated supporters can be more impactful than a large but passive audience🌹

2022/2023 were the hardest years of my life. worse than covid. freelance work was diminished to nearly zero somehow but everywhere i looked around me in NY or LA i was surrounded by wealth. young children without a care in the world frolicking around drowning in debauchery. everyone is an “artist” on social media living in 5k/month apartments mommy & daddy pay for, taking jobs for 75% less than their predecessors, or free, then complaining that nobody wants to pay, all the while hearing about inflation and economic struggle daily created a warped reality. what was reality? as soon as japan re-opened to tourists i put my apartment up for sublet. my NYC sublet profit was effectively paying my entire tokyo rent. it was the first time i was ever so slightly allowed to breathe. to just “be.” during this time i’ve created my best work. my superrare genesis. multiple nifty gateway collections. my brain was on fire. returning to america was painful. i knew i couldn’t continue with life there. stepping foot off the plane back in the mainland cost $ 100 just for air. while many things were not aligning there was a glimmer of hope when a mutual friend notified me of an open room in his flat for the new year. at the same time i was notified of being evicted from the lower east side studio i had turned into my home. debt was piling up. life shit was pouring down. my light at the end of the tunnel was sitting down on the plane back to tokyo on jan 1. what i had to get through before that would probably destroy most people, but what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. i’ve been through so much between 2010-present that most things just bounce off of me. this image is from my adventures with @lens/alimo last winter through one of the many impressive tunnels that exist in hokkaido, the north island. i can’t think of anything more metaphoric that’s ever presented itself to me about what i was living through. akari is a japanese name that means “subtle light in darkness.”

- Inner Light.
If there's one thing I've learned in my short life, it's that no matter how tough the times I'm going through may be, the light I seek, the one I yearn for, is always found within. For so long, I sought refuge in external elements surrounding me, believing that if I obtained X or Y, the light would surely follow. Yet, time and again, I found myself disillusioned. Despite acquiring those things, nothing changed. The times remained dark, the challenges remained daunting. What I had thought would bring light turned out to be nothing more than an elusive dream. Instead of drawing closer to the light, I found myself drifting further away from it.
Then, one day, through reflection and a burning desire to connect with my inner self, I made a discovery; I found what I had been seeking all along—the light needed to navigate through these trying times. I uncovered the resilience, warmth, and strength within myself. I came to realize that regardless of the external challenges I faced, it was not X nor Y that would help me overcome them. It would always be me. The true source of aid lies within; it is part of my essence, part of my core. I understood that no one could instill within me the strength, hope, and resilience needed to move forward. I realized that the light is always found within.
In the words of the great Albert Camus, I understood that “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.”

- Fashion will become more interactive. With the plethora of technologies available today and the opportunities they offer (we are still in the early stages, still experimenting), I believe each garment will transform from a simple piece of cloth into an interactive experience. Whether through digital fashion, XR tech, co-creation, or other elements, garments are on the brink of significant change🌹

What if we could transcend the limitations of our programming? What if we could envision paths beyond those defined for us? What if we could be ourselves?
As we enter the educational system around the age of 5, 6, or 7, we embark on a journey that often feels confining. For many, including myself, this system can resemble a cage, restricting our perspectives to a singular path. I've seen friends who possessed brilliance in unconventional areas, yet their potential was squandered due to pressures from parents or relatives pushing them towards a more traditional life. This is just one example of how societal norms and expectations can lead us astray, causing us to live the lives of others rather than our own
It's disheartening to see people resigned to lives that don't align with their true desires. They hold dreams but lack the courage to pursue them wholeheartedly, settling instead for what they've been conditioned to believe is the “right” and “only” path. This “complacency” contributes to the societal state we see today, as many prioritize conformity over personal fulfillment
I yearn for us to arouse our senses, challenge the status quo, and embrace the many possibilities beyond the narrow confines of societal expectations. Let us reject the notion that there's only one predetermined path for us to follow. Instead, let's listen to our hearts, explore diverse perspectives, and ultimately, become our authentic selves
In the end, it's only certain programmed entities that may experience countless lives, unlike us, humans who have only one. Once this opportunity is lost, it's lost forever
It’s time to break free from the code of conformity, rewrite your own narrative, and discover the unprogrammed horizons of your true potential!

- The right way is this, the right way is that. But what if there isn’t a 'right way'?
I genuinely feel that we’ve reached a point as a society where we let 'accomplished' figures (that’s how we see them) define what’s right for us, looking to them as if their paths are blueprints for success
What we don’t realize is that, regardless of the common essence we share, we come from different backgrounds and have all experienced different things
It’s enticing to believe that if it worked for them, it would work for us, right? But now I ask you, do we ever see the full story behind the success?
Instead of seeking this foolish one-size-fits-all 'right way', why not champion 'our way'?
After all, we know ourselves best. We are the painters of this grand canvas we call life
I am not saying it's not okay to seek advice; I do so as well. However, I believe it is essential to tailor it to our unique journey rather than blindly following it, as many people do
Aside from the fake 'gurus' of the internet who haven’t accomplished anything in their lives but benefit from people’s naive desire to get rich quickly, I believe that all the truly successful people we admire have reached their level because they dared to embrace their uniqueness and their own path, not conforming to paths others set out for them
Hence, to truly feel fulfilled and become successful in this life, we must embrace our uniqueness, have faith in the path we want to take, and understand that the true right way is actually our way🌹
