my side hustle paid off so big this month Im buying a plane ticket out of the country for next year

an opportunity that's kind of big may be happening soon. so big that I would pursue it for no compensation, so big that my parents and their friends would be more impressed and proud than they already are

a friend has asked for my help with their career. they offered pay and again I declined because 1) money business with friends gets messy 2) I know said friend is going places, having them in my network will mean more than short term pay

in exactly a month I'll have survived marriage year 1. we fight like an old couple from time to time but no one is miserable so I guess that's good
