To You WSO, I Say Farewell - I Fulfilled My Dream

I finally found something I enjoy doing.

It took quitting my job, blowing through roughly half of my savings, but I love it.

I currently make roughly the same amount as a McDonalds worker, but I wouldn't trade my life for anything else.

I finally, barely, monetized one of my passions.

I even found a 7.5/10 girlfriend who has similar dreams to me.

I am so happy that I did a couple years of Finance.

I am so happy that I quit.

I am so happy that I found this website many years ago.

Thank you to those who never believed in me for pushing me to make so many radical changes.

Farewell. I'll see you in another life. 

Finally, I live every day.
