Beautifully said, Lyn. 
I'm with you in that I want my life to contribute to leaving the world incrementally better than it was before me. For now, I do that by hosting a local, in-person bitcoin class, I do lots of different odd jobs (mostly handyman stuff) for widows and elderly people, and I try to be the best wife/daughter/person I can be in the meantime. I am trying to stay up to date on freedom tech both so I can use it myself as well as to be a resource for those around me. I'm in school, I'm learning to code, and I'm learning about 3D printing software; I'm hoping to eventually be able to contribute to building on Nostr and Bitcoin and whatever freedom tech that emerges next. I want to be skilled and ready to play my part in our generation's fight against totalitarianism.
