I've been thinking of posting something on ~alter_native for 2 or three days, much because I love this territory and feel like my home to be on SN. While trying to fuel up my mind with ideas that may be worth an introspection, I came accross this exceptional piece about giving value to alternatives in life.
This site not only presents alternative life as worth living, it also teaches how to go about it.
While there are a number of 'alternative life' related ideas. I personally got infected with the idea of Starting an Alternative life, wherein the article talks about the benifits of starting an alt life alongside telling us 'how we can enjoy the alternative life.'
In the starting, writer gives a few examples of people who are suffering because they are stick to their life. They don't want to put on the alternatives to being their joy back.
What is stopping us from starting a new life?
  • The first level—the resistance of your mind.
  • The Second Level—the resistance to change your environment.
  • The Third Level—the resistance to doing anything.
The bottom line is most people belong to one of two types — stuck in the past or in the future.

Tips to Start an Alt life

  • Forget the grievances
  • Break up with the boring things and relations in your life
  • Summarize your priorities
  • Put your house in order
  • Dream on!
  • Make it happen!!
The secret to start an alternative life isn't time bound.
Any moment is excellent to begin the life of your dreams.
— An Alternative Life.
I'm glad to announce that I've started living an alternative life and Bitcoin has paved the way for me.
What about you? Does Bitcoin inspire you in the same way to lead an alternative life?
I feel that this is a little weird. How many of you actually want to live an alternative life? I want to enjoy my life as it is. Some hobbies are different than other peoples. Being alternative doesnt mean you have to give up some things, it just means you are embracing things that others arent. Being an outcast of society doesnt sound that much fun lol

I am just saying from the feeling I got from your article. I understand you want move toward an alternative lifestyle, and you have listed a few tips to go in that general direction.

This has nothing to do with lifestyle. It's about changing the mindset.
The bottom line is most people belong to one of two types — stuck in the past or in the future. Here, I wanted to uphold the idea of living a life to the fullest, not cutting it short of anything except grievances and boredom. Living an alternative life doesn't mean that you need to leave family, society, or your home. It's about reimagining and rearranging the options to enjoy a happier and better life. Bitcoin has inspired me to be the best version of me. The change that Bitcoin brought into my life has led me to this alternative life, a life with no limits, no boundaries.
