The Curious Case of #SmokingChickenFish: Day 13 of š¬šš
God sees you no matter what -NerdyInvestors
Thereās something peculiar about what happens when we stop checking our accounts. When we let go of the numbers, the likes, the follows, and simply post our truth. Here I am, thirteen days into posting #SmokingChickenFish, and Iāve learned more about human connection than any social media expert could teach me.
The hashtag started as a rebellionāāāa digital smoke signal aimed at the established order: the Vatican, sports teams, #bitcoin, all those institutional giants that seem to hold sway over our collective consciousness. But itās evolved into something more profound, more human.
You see, life is wonderfully irregular. One day youāre following the prescribed path, and the next youāre posting about smoking chicken fish š¬šš, finding unlikely kindred spirits in the digital wilderness. The beauty lies in the absurdity. When we say #SmokingChickenFish, weāre not just stringing random words togetherāāāweāre acknowledging that sometimes life becomes too overwhelming to process through conventional means.
In these moments of overwhelm, turning to a higher power isnāt just reasonableāāāitās essential. But that higher power might not look like what we expect. Sometimes it appears in the form of community, in the shared laughter over an obscure hashtag, in the recognition that weāre all just trying to make sense of this beautiful mess together.
Iāve stopped checking my metrics. The numbers donāt matter anymore. What matters is the genuine connections forming in these digital spaces. Thereās something addictive about finding your tribeāāānot the artificial followers who boost your count, but the real people who share your genuine interests, who understand why you might post about smoking chicken fish for thirteen straight days.
Weāve lost something in our rush to quantify everything, to turn every interaction into data points and engagement metrics. Our hobbies have become side hustles, our passions have become brands, our spiritual seeking has become content creation. But through the smoke signals of #SmokingChickenFish, weāre finding our way back to common ground.
This isnāt about going viral or starting a movement. Itās about rediscovering the joy of being genuinely, unapologetically weird together. Itās about acknowledging that sometimes the most meaningful connections come from the most unexpected placesāāāeven from a seemingly nonsensical hashtag about smoking chicken fish.
Day 13, and Iām still here, still posting, still seeking. Not because Iām expecting anything in return, but because sometimes the most profound acts of rebellion are simply being present, being authentic, and being willing to find meaning in the madness.
When we say #SmokingChickenFish, weāre really saying: Iām here, Iām human, and Iām looking for others who understand that life doesnāt always make senseāāāand thatās perfectly okay. In fact, it might be the most okay thing of all.
