- Come, I'm going to tell you about my misfortunes (read until the end).
Today has been a shitty day for me. I woke up really early to take a friend to the doctor to get a check-up for an acne problem he's been having lately. When we got there, the doctor who was supposed to see him wasn't there, and the one who did see him barely checked him, just referred him to someone else on a different day. When we got home after that, we lost power (one of the perks of living in Cuba) in the middle of the Caribbean, during the hottest months of the year, and we were under a heat dome. In the midst of that infernal heat, I decided to study because today at 1 PM I had my last theoretical test to get my driver's license. I hadn’t even finished the first page of studying when my period decided to show up. Fortunately, despite not being at home, I managed to get a pad and some painkillers (which didn't help much). I went back to studying, now not only with terrible heat but also with horrible cramps, like having ground glass in my abdomen, and nausea that didn't let me eat lunch. I ended up running late to leave for the test site. I had to literally run to get there on time... running... with my period... on the verge of fainting.
With all my effort, I managed to get to my test at 1 PM, which didn’t matter at all. I waited until 3 PM, hungry, tired, nauseous, in pain, and very, very hot, until they called my name, and I could go to the room where I would take the test on a computer (a terrible idea to use technology in my country). When there were four people left before my turn, the power went out at the station too 🙂. My life seems like a tragedy, but it's just a twisted comedy. I waited another hour hoping it would come back, but it was in vain. They gave me another date and I headed home. When I got there, almost about to lose consciousness, I wanted to turn on at least a fan to cool off a bit and catch my breath... but there was no electricity at home either 🙂.
With how difficult my day has been, and how bad I've felt the whole time, I picked up my phone for a moment to see if I could forget my terrible luck today, and when I saw this beautiful post, I couldn't help but burst into tears.
It might sound exaggerated, but Orb and Lens have become my favorite place. The people I've met here brighten my day with just a like. They let me be myself, with my art, my long comments, and bad jokes, and they support me in what I love. Feeling that the people here care for me as much as I do for them is one of the things that has made me happiest this year.
Maybe I'm exaggerating because I'm sensitive due to my hormonal situation, but seriously, I love you all ♡. Thank you for existing and for making Orb the amazing place it is. And thanks to @lens/jeanayala for being the only thing in my day that made me smile. 🫶🏻
- Very proud of my shitpost friend.🤧🤍
- I'm gone for 3 days and the Bonsai collapses 🤯. But what happened here? Who activated poor mode?
- "Attachment." 🖇
4 editions.
Originally, I conceived this piece as a representation of how sometimes we must detach the heart from the mind. But when I finished it and observed my work, I realized that it could be interpreted as the opposite – the need to unite heart and mind. Either way, it signifies equally important emotional dilemmas. So, I leave it to the interpretation that each of you may need to hear.
- This totally describes me. Apologizing even for time becomes the most submissive way of wanting the other person to always be perfect. But carrying everything has never been a good way to love.
- The eyes touch more intensely than the hands.♡
- Give yourself permission to slow down. You can speed up by slowing down.
- Promises are debts. I said that the Bonsai I would raise with my work 'Orb' would be used to help a friend of mine get into Lens, and after a wonderful Sold Out, here she is, taking her first steps in the Polygon network.
Feel free to drop by and say hello, and to show some support to this neophyte of the Orb.
And thanks to all of you who made it possible.🙏❤
- Gm! Gm! Gm! 💚
- @lens/jeanayala From me, to you, with love.<3
- Never be afraid to show your inner world in your art, even if it has nothing to do with the outside world.
Once again, @lens/eduardmsmr with his beautiful words.♡
- Im excited to share this illustration with you all. In it, we have a non-binary trans character embodying strength and authenticity. Although it initially had a different and defined purpose, they changed their mind, and Im here to give them the opportunity to shine and connect with those who see them. I hope you love it as much as I do! 💜
There will be an exclusive second part for Lens, and I'll try my hand at animating it. 😏 Its my first time trying to animate my art, wish me luck! 🙂↔️
Express collection of 7 pieces, 200 $BONSAI

If the axis of a yakuza gang had a pet, I imagine it would look like this.
- Just as I saw in someone else's post, when they learn to put up a profile picture, we'll be lost.
- I feel like reading some short books. Can you recommend any?📚

- GM, I came for the garden and stayed for both of them.♡
- gm, i came for the garden, and stayed for the people.🌹
- On this beautiful Sunday, I join you on this journey of gratitude. I am grateful because there is still a sky above my head and for the days, one after another, that keep giving me a new opportunity. I am also thankful for the people I love, who in one way or another make me happy, the friends who are by my side, and those who accompany me through the distance. Grateful to you @lens/eduard, for filling my Orb with love. Today, my heart overflows with gratitude for the small joys of life. May this day be filled with love, gratitude, and peace for everyone! 🌞🌿
- There are only 2 editions of "Orb."
Wouldn't you like to have one?
- Incredibly grateful toward @lens/princetiwari for supporting Lens creators everyday, and recently including @lens/pointless treasury with a 200k $bonsai collect 🤯❤️
Was looking for a way to express it, so I generated some artworks to represent him using MidJourney (didn’t used it often so still got a lot to learn) 🙏
Posting my favorite called "Wise Prince" but might publish others in the coming days 👀
10% of this post earnings goes to mirrors & everything left goes to @lens/princetiwari 🔥
#LMCC to show some love 🌿
- Finally it's Friday . Have a good and peaceful weekend... or don't have one and go out. :) 🌇
- No one has to suffer for the cowardice of others.
- 🍃"Natura View"🍃
Just imagine that nature is watching you.
Just imagine that at the final judgment, nature will have to advocate for or against saving humanity. Do you think she would defend us?
- My latest work: "Orb"
It is a representation of how I have felt and feel here. 😊💙🧡
It has some symbolic details, like the whales. A friend told me that's what they say to people who have big accounts.
Hope you like it. 😊
(What I earn from this post I will use to help a friend who also wants to start in Lens, since in my country paying by bank account is impossible, so the only thing left is cryptocurrencies.)
- Milo has a strange way of smiling, like he's an upset rapper.😂🧡
- GM garden!
- The art and the power it has.
- Paw on the glass.♡

- This post holds huge significance for me, and I pondered over whether to share it. I still can’t believe I am doing it:
Over the past two years, I've poured my heart and soul into @lens/mismir . I've devoted the majority of my time to bringing it to life. It's an entity through which I genuinely believe I can make a positive impact, something that brings me immense joy in its creation, breathing life into its elements. It's become ingrained in my soul - I never imagined something could mean so much to me
Now, I stand on the brink of unveiling my creation to the world. The time has arrived for it to step into the spotlight. Despite my excitement, I've carefully considered the best approach for its release. Initially, I contemplated selling NFTs to secure the necessary funding to bring The Prologue, the inaugural physical garment, to life. While this remains an option, I am inclined to opt for a different path
As I aspire to raise awareness of the transformative potential of Web 3, beyond its technological aspects, I am eager to launch the garment from the outset. However, my background presents certain limitations. I have sought the optimal method to bring them to fruition, one that ensures sustainability and maintains the highest quality for the brand's community. Given the costliness of fashion creation in my country, this approach seemed unfeasible initially due to financial constraints
Yet, I now perceive an opportunity to breathe life into my vision. I am confident that I can realize my original plan and bring my desired product to fruition. This marks an exciting moment for me, as I prepare to witness its realization
Though challenges persist, I now perceive a pathway forward. It's time to realize my original vision, breathe life into my envisioned product, and witness its manifestation
Here is what the collectors, those who believe in my dream and vision, will receive as a token of gratitude for their support:
Firstly I intend to create a private group—perhaps on Telegram—exclusively for you, the collectors. Within this group, I will share the steps I am taking toward realizing my vision. I commit to maintaining transparency in all our interactions. Furthermore, your contributions will always be acknowledged with gratitude, in the present and future of Mismir
Secondly, I offer lifetime access to Mismir products as a gesture of appreciation. Whether they are physical or digital items/garments, or other offerings, you will have complimentary access. To ensure fairness, we will collectively establish reasonable limits per collection - Including The Prologue, of course
Moreover, as the brand evolves and embarks on new ventures, I am committed to offering additional benefits to you. They will be determined through collective discussion and agreement, ensuring that your support is met with meaningful rewards
Where Will the Funds Be Allocated:
The funds raised will be allocated towards bringing The Prologue to fruition. This encompasses all aspects of the garment, including NFC chips, garment production, and packaging, ensuring a comprehensive and immersive experience
A part of the funds will also be dedicated to content creation. Content serves as an essential tool for garnering attention and fostering engagement. Through The Prologue and its elements, I aim to curate impactful content that enlightens the transformative potential of Web 3. Leveraging both Web 2 and Web 3 platforms, this content will show how it reshapes people's relationships with brands, others, and even themselves
If you wish to learn more about Mismir, I've written an article here about its past, present, and future:
