Time flies.
This time last year I was broke, miserable, and was recovering from constant daily anxiety. I woke up to my birthday feeling unhappy about my situation. I was 23, didn't finish college yet, and all the above factors I mentioned. Everything was straight up miserable.
A year later, I woke up on my birthday feeling happy- the first time in years that I felt this way.
Throughout 23, I started going out from my comfort zone. I started socializing a bit more, opening myself up to more opportunities, being more confident about my skills and venturing on a crazy journey, building a business.
Who would have thought that I am closed to one of my dreams!
I wanted to have a cafe, a bakery, also a b2b service. Now, I am one more step closer to my own bakery. I started bootstrapping late last month and now I got 2 customers already. I know it's small but it's something 😄
I also made new acquaintances and friends this year from a mutual interest, nootropics. I finally had the courage to meet different kinds of crowd. I also finally had the courage letting go the toxic people in my life.
I finally had the courage to say no to toxic friends, family, and things that waste my time.
I also learned to take life a bit less seriously too.I choose to focus on myself, seek adventure, and enjoy this ride called life.
I also don't care what people say about me, my background, or family anymore. I simply put up a huge I don't give a fuck sign. It's my life and I get to spend how I want it to be.
Throughout 23, I also learned to take more responsibility of my actions instead of running away from my problems. Now, I have less problem and less worry.
And finally, I would like to thank my hive family.
It's almost my 4th year here and I really would love to say thank you for everyone who has been supporting me. I joined when I was recently turning 20 and since then, I never look back to my job my main job as a tutor and translator. I went freelancing full time and remote working, it was the best decision I made. Back then, I was doing 70% freelancing and 30% hive but since I joined @ocd team, my life is 80% hive and 20% freelancing. Perhaps I don't say this enough but I am always grateful to be part of the team since 2017. So thank you everyone, hive and @ocd team.
And now, my final wish and hope; I hope throughout this 24, I can expand my business and finally finish my first pc master race build 😂 so I can start streaming.

Reached level 24, where are you going to spend your stat points?
😀 tbh still thinking how to spend it
wohhoooo someone is getting wiser it seems.
hapyy birthday Cem. all the best for your and your every journey.
when this pandemic settle, maybe you can open one in Bali, and take crypto as payment. who knows you will meet more hivian from all over the world coming to your bakery.
I will be one among those : )
Not a bad idea at all 🤣 btw when can I start traveling to Bali again? what are the procedures to visit Bali these day?
it seems depends on what you are traveling by. I think it at least needs a rapid test for traveling. the down side is that some tourist spot are still closed, so there has not been many places to visit. the good side, its not so crowded. :)
HB coro coro girl, was funny to hear you speaking Spanish and saying Margaritean words (I live on an island called Margarita on Venezuela), hope you have a great day and looking forward to play skribbl again. ❤️
(Your Spanish is really good, tbh)
Let me know when you want to play skribb! I still don't know what is corocoro😁 where I live coro means sewer rat xD
lol, corocoro is a fish, specifically this one:
