Hey Will, is Signal a good option for messaging with encryption for a regular Joe like me? Asking as a normie that just wants to learn 🫂 hoping you won’t reply with a cryptic message 😭 sometimes learning on nostr is like reading notes from the riddler
Also I’ve never tried Paella but it sounds rather lovely 🔥😂 I shall give it a go
It had to be done, and you did it well 🫂😂
Yeahh I have this problem - only got Mallory on there so far to try it out. At the same time, I dunno if it’s safe to share my username with everyone. I liked SimpleX cos it was easier to share with people - like if I go on a date, it goes well and we want to chat more, but if he turned out crazy I could just create a new simpleX address, no username or number tying me to them. Bit long, but cool. It has too many bugs though
I’ll get my family on signal eventually, I’m sure. It’s decent 🔥
Ishara = eshara
Same name, different spelling. Can also mean symbol/gesture etc etc in other languages like Sanskrit, Hindi and I’m sure it means other stuff in other languages I haven’t looked up
Like Katy = Katie
I was told by people who speak Arabic visiting London on holiday years ago that my name meant sign/signal and they proceeded to keep saying it to each other while laughing - I dunno why 🤷🏽♀️ looked it up and google and Chat GPT and it said they were right, but I don’t speak Arabic so I can’t say for sure, you may well be right 🫂 does it not have a meaning in Arabic?
Me too 🫂 I thought it meant nothing until the tourists kept saying it - do you know if maybe it’s the equivalent of having a name that means ‘emergency exit’ or ‘sign post’ or something, cos they found it hilarious 😅 I was always curious about why
Completely forgot that photo was taken on my 22nd birthday. I had just gotten dumped that morning and panda was spending the day with me to cheer me up. I really really love my brothers.
Aww, you got this! Mate you got so much charm, I wouldn’t worry 🫂
Nah I feel you, gyms are tricky but as long as you’re a gentleman she will love it. You will stick out from the rest.
Yessss I love this plan sleepy! It’s perfect ❤️🔥 this lets her get comfortable around you and I’m sure by then you will feel a lot less shy around her too 🫂 brilliant plan 👌🏽
I dunno how it’s possible to miss someone I never really knew. I miss my dad a lot lately, but I never knew him - not really. He died before I could remember him properly. I have 4 memories - him picking me up from nursery, him holding me and cuddling me after I was crying, me asking him not to leave me, and him dying. I think he would have come with me on my long walks and visited galleries with me. Maybe he would have taken me to my first concert and we’d share music. I’d go on dates and he’d meet the guy eventually and make sure to scare him a little so he wouldn’t break my heart. When I got married he would have given me away, and would have danced with me. I like this picture, cos it kinda looks like he’s looking at me, I think. I swear, the older I get, the more emotional I get. Most inconvenient. I think it’s cos it’s getting close to my 29th and I feel nervous - not about getting old, but I just don’t want to end up like the bird lady from Home Alone 2 cos I make too many mistakes. I’m a giant baby, I know.
My family think I’m really mysterious, which always makes me laugh, but I guess I can be a bit secretive about things. I’m selective about meaningful things I share. It’s not that I’m trying to hide things, I just find it hard to talk about things I care about sometimes. Slightly easier to write about it. That’s one of the reasons why I post so much on nostr (and twitter, sorry 🫂). Juuuust in the off chance I’m ever unable to be there for my children one day, they WILL know me - if they want to. There will be a part of me online that will never die, here for when they need me, cos nostr will never go down.
I write in my diary for them too, but incase that gets lost, and Mr Musk somehow accidentally deletes twitter, they have nostr. Here’s where they can see their mum post about the London Underground 😅 but also when they’re almost 29 and feeling nervous, they will know it will be okay, cos once upon a time mum felt the same way, and she figured it out.
Of course, I could always end up like the bird lady in the park from ‘home alone 2’, without children, living in the roof of an opera house… (the last bit sounds rather lovely though).
Anyway, now that I’ve spilled a secret part of my heart all over nostr, sharing far too much, I’m off to bed. Goodnight 🫂 https://i.nostr.build/XxV1yd6difwuHJ81.jpg
Thank you, LIV 🫂🫂💜🙏🏽
It’s rather brilliant 💯🫂
That’s a lovely thought, thank you Liv 🥹🫂💜 oh boy, I didn’t think about grandkids 🤯 I hope they’re curious
