Happy New Year everyone!

I hope everyone's feeling great today. So how was your New Year's celebration? I hope you've enjoyed all the crypto gains of last year. Because I do. And I do admit that I'm feeling secured, comfortable, and overall happy than ever!

Yes, despite the riots, germs, civil unrest and other madness out there. Ugh, never mind those. I've learned to turn my social media off and other toxic stuff on the internet.

And so this year, I'm feeling bullish! I feel like great things will happen and come to my life. I've never been this positive before.

Just a quick recap of 2021's gains and losses in my personal life, I lost my other job but gained a better one. Lost my best friend but definitely learned profound lessons about love and true friendship. Lost some money when I lost my job and but then I gained more towards the end of the year. Almost lost my mind because of all of the events of the past year but then I came out stronger and better than ever. And that is the great win of all.

I guess I'm learning the ropes of financial and crypto stuff finally. For the first time in my life ever, I have enough "F*** you" money, both in crypto and fiat. So what is this F*** you money? It means that should everything else fail in my life, I can just leave or start again. More like a safety net or something. Or enough savings to get me through the months until I can rise up again. But of course this is just when things go inevitably wrong or when things are no longer within my control. I don't ever wish for this to happen because I love my life at the moment but it is just good to have that kind of savings in order to feel comfortable and not feel stressed all the time. I'm no longer living moment by moment or in survival mode. I'm too old for that now and I learned a lot over the last couple of years. Thanks to my unrelenting focus and unwavering self discipline.

My master plan has changed though. Due to some unforeseen events last year, I no longer want to stick around in the same place. So there's no "tiny home" plan anymore. I think settling and having a family stuff, paying mortgage and property taxes, maintaining a house are not at all for me. The world is too big for a reason and I would like to spend the rest of my days moving swiftly across the world, and of course, I should be "financially independent" by that time. Which means I can do whatever I want and go wherever I want without all that financial stress. I do think my plan is possible if I manage to keep my remote job, invest more in cryptocurrencies, maintain my online travel agency, and sell my possessions. I think this life that I've dreamed of would be possible.

I believe there are far more opportunities when I'm out there than when I'm stuck alone on a hopeless island. I think no one's meant to live this way and I don't deserve to just grow like a wild flower, then wilt and die. I want to enjoy the great big wide world until my dying day. And when it becomes lonely again while on the road, I will always remember that it's lonelier when I am literally alone. And I will always remember the hard days that I've been though while living on this island.

While my future life excites me, the thought of leaving my cat also saddens me. So while I'm here, in the NOW, I would spend every waking moment with Diablo and enjoy every moment with him. This is what makes the present truly enjoyable - to be with I truly like the most. My favorite cat in the world. ☺️

I'm gonna skip the whole New Year's resolution this time not because I don't make things happen, I just hate having a list and not following through. Anyway, I know exactly what I have to do this year. If I feel like walking outside and exercising, then I will do it. If I feel like drinking or eating a hamburger, then I will do it it too. I will buy the things that give me joy and save money for the rainy days. I guess the point is, I will do whatever that makes me truly happy and enjoy every moment while I prepare for the future.
