 I never realized how scary loving someone so completely could be. 
 Having kids is a trip more profound than psychedelics. Enjoy the ride! 
 Can confirm 
 Anyone worth loving is worth dying for. 🧡 
 And worth living for! 
 Intimacy is about leaving yourself open to being attacked. 
 Welcome to parenthood. My friends who were having their first ask me for any advice I could give them, I just told them to be prepared to be completely unprepared. Experiential knowledge is a wild ride when it comes to having children. Congratulations. 
 That's one way to say you love my npub 
 Ahh yes kids 
 A family down the street from me accidentally ran over their 2yo last week.. been holding my daughter extra tight ever since. I CANT IMAGINE. 
 Oh man, God that's heart breaking. 
 Extremely. 
 🔥💜 
 so vulnerable 😳 
 I know what you’re talking about. It’s the best and worst feeling. 
 You think you love your partner completely until you have a kid with them. Then fuck literally anything else but making sure your kid has anything they need. People without children will NEVER understand.  
 I didn’t know how much I didn’t know 
 You never do.  
 Just HODL! 🫡 
 You’re talking about Satoshi right? 😂 
 now you know how the Bitcoin community feels about you 
 😂 I needed this today 
 The first time I took my baby for a walk in the carriage I had an intense and heightened sense of danger and threats by cars and tough looking men. I got over it quickly, but it wasn't something I was expecting until it happened. 
 Exactly this. I feel strong but also fragile 🥹 
 What if they aren't there anymore? 
 Miracle of life. When new life appears from love of two people to each other 🧡  
 100% 
 ❤️ 
 In reality, the beauty of love is pain and suffering.

Only in movies and books, it's fun and a pleasure. 
 It's like that saying: "You only value life because there's death" 
 Exactly  
 💜 
 Not only scary but dangerous. Nonetheless, sometimes it is worth it. 
 I'm flattered but don't be scared 
 🤣🤣🤣 
 Scary, but comforting at the same time. I found my soulmate over a decade ago. Being vulnerable was frightening at first. 
 Why scary? What are you afraid of? am serious. not a troll. I have heard this said many times but never thought to ask the question somehow and have never understood how love and fear could coexist in a stable fashion.

 
 And love is free. 
 💜 it’s crazy 
 me too but as a father 
 more bitcoin moms and dads needed on nostr ❤️
