 Taking 3 days off nostr I learned that:

1. Im addicted to it. 
2. I have way more mental clarity when I don’t check here all the time
3. I don’t need it as much as I thought I did. I could quit all social media for good and be fine with.
4. Very tempted to do #3 
5. But I’d miss taking to some

 You would be missed! I find I need some time off now and then. But then when I come back I feel more pumped to continue working on getting more ppl here. 💜

 Time away from screens is good for the mind and body. I could never quit though. I'd miss my friends and family 🥹

 a hike on the mountains to breathe some fresh air and recollect your thoughts is always a good idea

 I do agree that you can develop real friendships with people online...and having said that, I've never really been into the social media kind of thing...

Nostr though I see as different--it's more a "free speech" platform (although I can now see it's going to be MUCH more than that...)

I've seen the future...and it's Nostr...

Mostly hang out on Telegram and Discord these days chatting to the folks closest to me 💜

Maybe a good old break is all you need buddy

 Knowing you can opt out at any time brings peace in its own right... it's tricky to avoid becoming dependent on the tools we use. I'm glad you found some headspace 🫂

 It would be sorta flat around here without you.  If you must go, for mental health, or whatever, I understand, with the hope that you would check in occasionally.
