Dear Jesse,
I recently found out that you re getting married. I won t be a killjoy and talk about my reservations about such institutions and their implications, and besides nothing can tamper with your union. So I ll stop here. Congratulations, from all my heart. I ve been there and its profundity can be so overwhelming, it trickles through an entire lifetime, no matter the earthly outcome. (There I go again with my biases and prejudices kicking in). Yunior, near the end of 'This is How you Lose Her' by Junot Daz (highly recommend if you haven t read already), says The half-life of love is forever.
It truly is. And that s an all-encompassing and optimistic statement, full of forever. I wish you both everything as you begin on this beautiful and complex and ever-expanding journey, much like the universe itself. But mostly, wonder, discovery, endless endless discovery and the ineffable absolution of being able to share all this and coalesce into a single sense of boundless self.
I ve recently landed on Base after a long sabbatical of sorts. To reinvent and relearn myself in a lot of ways through an ongoing onchain experiment, a sort of self-invoked deus ex machina for my life at this point. It feels right to do it on Base, in fact I ll have to thank my son. He won t stop about onchainsummer and endless summer and Base. I truly admire all you ve done for Base and continue to, whose ripple effects definitely are and will be felt across the entire ecosystem. A rising tide yada yada yada. It s the right spirit and I have hope again for the truly decentralized onchain dream. All of us.
I m sending you and your family a part of myself and my journey as gift, as gesture, please accept the humble offering.
I ll be there in spirit. (I mean the wedding, not during your honeymoon, haha, that would be creepy).
Have a wonderful onwards.
Congratulations again and Godspeed!
Love,
Mr. Firstbase
