Well written, Jaryd. This writing resonated so much because sometimes, these small problems are often mistaken as ---"it might be MY problem" so If i can't fix other people I should just adjust to it.
The status quo is at play here. but oftentimes, that small thing that you're choosing to ignore? --other people are noticing it too! especially if it's within the marriage. and likening it to calficiation in the heart is an exccellent metaphor, these small papercuts compound until it's too late.
And all it takes with small problems to go away is really to notice them --and it doesn't cost anything to fix...
I love to hear that it resonated with you. Writing this stuff down helped me think a lot about communication in my own marriage too—and how easy it is to opt for comfort and delay saying something for the sake of keeping peace. It’s all just about how you say something, and I hate to admit it, but honestly, ChatGPT has been super helpful in helping me figure out how to phrase things the right way.
LOL, That's exactly how I use ChatGPT as well. I put in what I say and ask it to rephrase it into softer language. I didn't think I'd be talking to a computer and be treating it like my therapist. but here we are. This tool has been so ihelpful in this trying time. Sometimes I also second guess my thoughts and run in by chatGPT just to make sure I'm not crazy.
The small problems are similar to those that are important but not urgent. These are the issues we should be concerned about, as they are significant for the long term. However, most of the time, we only focus on what is urgent or what is both urgent and important.
small nagging problems are just small enough they can persist indefinitely.
Hello Jaryd,
I hope this communique finds you in a moment of stillness. Have huge respect for your work.
We’ve just opened the first door of something we’ve been quietly crafting for years—
A work not meant for markets, but for reflection and memory.
Not designed to perform, but to endure.
It’s called The Silent Treasury.
A place where judgment is kept like firewood: dry, sacred, and meant for long winters.
Where trust, patience, and self-stewardship are treated as capital—more rare, perhaps, than liquidity itself.
This first piece speaks to a quiet truth we’ve long sat with:
Why many modern PE, VC, Hedge, Alt funds, SPAC, and rollups fracture before they truly root.
And what it means to build something meant to be left, not merely exited.
It’s not short. Or viral. But it’s built to last.
And if it speaks to something you’ve always known but rarely seen expressed,
then perhaps this work belongs in your world.
The publication link is enclosed, should you wish to open it.

Warmly,
The Silent Treasury
A vault where wisdom echoes in stillness, and eternity breathes.

My wife is training to become a therapist and says ChatGPT is the best therapist she’s had 🤣 I do the same. It really always helps 100% of the time
