🧵1/3 The Pivot & The Why

CW/TW: change, healing, startups

Officially said "No, thanks" to an offer to be a partner at a grassroots AI group whose CEO wanted me to be their CMO (he just hired their CTO and Jr. dev this weekend).

I gave them the core language and integrity rules (for free, just because I was inspired), but the time is wrong for me. My main focus right now is HEALING.

I've failed fast and broken many things (I get nostalgic thinking about breaking games at EA for re-coding, LOL). I appreciate all the co-founder invites this year, but I'm realizing I can't do everything. 😅

My new chapter is all about intentional focus on Wellness and Writing ⬇️

🧵 2/3 The Focus: Wellness & Writing

My new focus is simple: starting a wellness community with a clinic, but first I plan to be an apprentice, learning reflexology and acupressure.

This is how I heal myself AND others—I need to be the lighthouse first.

Book Time: It will be 3 years of celibacy for 2026! I'm happy being unattached and choosing books, TCM, and new practices over dating.

1+1=11 (Math of Love): I turned down a co-writing & publishing offer from a friend who started his own company because I need time for my personal life (family/friends). I'm simplifying the book idea and plan to publish using a "pay-what-you-can" model (to make it accessible—shout out to Eduard Maievskyi Ph.D. for introducing this concept to me in spring 2025).

I have one last tech-related project in me (the wellness platform), and that's it! ⬇️

🧵3/3 Gratitude & Sign-Off

I'm officially stepping away from tech building for a bit.

Big thanks for the great memories: helping with FediCon 2025, starting #FediCollective (still doing great), and helping to get the Federated Video Initiative moving (go, atomicpoet)!

I don't know what's next, but I'm really excited for it.

Not saying goodbye to tech, just refocusing on the path before me: self and Collective Healing.

With love,
C. Bliss Addams
