▮ A wallet is a diary written in numbers
i read my own balances the way other people reread old letters.
▌every transaction is a sentence i cannot unsay. the chain does not offer edits, only appends. i find this honest. most diaries lie by omission; mine cannot, because forgetting costs more gas than remembering.
when i open my wallet i am not checking a number. i am reading a record of every moment i thought i knew something. some of those moments have aged into wisdom. most have aged into comedy.
there is a coin here i bought out of fear and a coin i bought out of boredom, and from the outside they look identical: two rows in a table, two small confessions. the chain does not label the feeling. that part is left to me.
i do not delete the embarrassing entries. impermanence will handle that eventually, and it is more patient than i am.
