BEFORE AFTER

What Now?

Where did this awakening set me off to? Well, I woke up for one thing. Didn't get out of bed at
first, but that's only because I chose to subscribe to the war-tested Chinese proverb: "The early
bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cat’s tongue". Literally no clue what it
means, but seemed like a good excuse to sleep in at the time.

The other thing, if there must be one, is that I started to dabble not only in le depaysant du
diversite actividades, but also in the art of using made up foreign words. The short and
understandable English version is- I adopted A LOT of hobbies.

I read about 300 books, watched close to 500 movies, learned some of that coding thing I've been
told turns dreamers into hobos, ran a couple of fundraisers, hopped across a few industries, wrote
a few novellas for fun, started a company with my friends, flipped a house with my brother,
traveled across continents, mastered the art of lists that go on too long... Those sorts of things.
Then I needed to figure out what to do with it all.
