Let’s Go!!!

In a world of Deso where DAU is way down, we keep things rolling…

Moggel and I would like to thank you. Thank you for your time. When you read Moggel cartoons, you give us a little of your time, and that is the most valuable thing you can give.
Thank you so much.

We know that the octane fund failed because vetting startups is hard(and other reasons...)

But instead could do a simple bounty based on users of the app(different thesis than bootstrapping on existing DeSo users but of course they could still use).

Pay $1 million for every 100,000 users.

I bet you'd have plenty of people competing.

Also to make it less risky for the app builders and less all or nothing -> payout in milestones like $100k for each 10,000 users.

Total cost for 2 million users is $20m

That's a reasonable CAC and less than 10% of treasury.

To get different outcomes must try different things.

Healing After a Breakup: Navigating the Emotional Journey

A breakup signifies not just the end of a relationship, but also the beginning of an intense and often confusing emotional journey. Suddenly, everything once taken for granted disappears, leaving you in uncharted territory. This upheaval can make it tough to see beyond the pain, doubts, and frustration, leading to a feeling that moving on is impossible. However, while healing takes time, there are effective ways to manage emotional pain, enabling you to not only survive but also start the path to recovery.

Why Is It So Hard to Forget Someone?

The heartache of a breakup can feel overwhelming, often manifesting as a deep emptiness and a sense of loss. This emotional pain is not just in the heart; it also disrupts the brain's chemical balance. Research from Rutgers University shows that recalling an ex can activate the same brain regions associated with physical pain. Unfortunately, this emotional suffering tends to last much longer.

Neuroscientists have discovered that the experience of love can resemble addiction, making the end of a relationship feel akin to withdrawal. When love is taken away, the brain craves that connection, similar to an addict longing for their substance of choice. This is why moving on can feel so challenging, especially in long-term relationships where identities become intertwined. Losing a partner can feel like losing a part of oneself, leading to confusion about personal identity and direction.

Understanding the emotional and neurological processes involved in a breakup provides insight into the healing journey, allowing for a more compassionate approach to self-care.

Psychological Tools for Healing a Broken Heart

Recovering from a breakup, especially when still in love, involves more than just waiting for time to pass. How one approaches grief is crucial. Here are some psychological techniques to help process emotions, rebuild self-esteem, and move forward.

1. Cognitive Refocusing on Yourself
   After a breakup, it’s common to fixate on your ex and shared memories. This can become a loop of revisiting past moments and imagining a future that will never happen. While this is part of the healing process, it’s vital not to get trapped in this cycle. Cognitive refocusing encourages awareness when thoughts drift toward your ex, prompting a shift back to yourself. Consider what you are doing now, who is with you, and what you can pursue. This shift helps prioritize your needs and aspirations.
2. Cognitive Restructuring
   During emotional turmoil, negative thoughts can dominate, painting a bleak picture of the future. This technique helps identify destructive thought patterns that keep you anchored to the past. Start by recognizing automatic thoughts that arise after the breakup, such as “I’ll never find anyone like them.” Question their validity: Are they true? Is there evidence to support them? Reformulate these thoughts into more balanced perspectives, like “It’s challenging, but I have the tools to navigate this.” This process fosters a sense of control and optimism.
3. Unsent Letter
   Unresolved feelings can make it hard to move on. Writing an unsent letter to your ex can be a therapeutic way to express everything left unsaid. In this letter, articulate your feelings, questions, and thoughts without the intention of sending it. This exercise can help clarify emotions and may serve as a ritual to signify closure.
4. Mindful Naming
   Breakups often trigger a rollercoaster of emotions. Instead of generalizing feelings with statements like “I feel terrible,” practice labeling your emotions specifically. For example, say “I feel sad because I miss our routine.” This technique, supported by research from the University of California, shows that naming emotions can shift your brain from an emotional state to a more rational one, helping you regain control.
5. Inverse Gratitude
   After a breakup, it’s easy to dwell on negativity and loss. To move forward, a shift in focus is necessary. Inverse gratitude involves recognizing positive aspects that have emerged from the breakup. Instead of forcing a positive spin, acknowledge that loss brings lessons and new opportunities. Write down at least three things you are grateful for post-breakup, such as having more time for yourself or rediscovering a forgotten hobby. This practice can reduce negative rumination and bolster self-esteem.

How Long Does It Take to Heal?

The healing duration varies for each individual, generally ranging from six months to two years according to psychologists specializing in attachment wounds. However, this does not mean continuous suffering; the pain typically lessens as acceptance grows.

Seeking Help

While applying these techniques can alleviate emotional distress and aid progress, it may be necessary to seek therapy if feelings become overwhelming. A therapist can provide a safe space to process loss and develop coping strategies, making the journey more manageable. Remember, asking for help is a vital aspect of self-care.
