Time, Not Money
September 19th, 2025
"The greatest risk is still doing nothing." —Winston Churchill
I bought a house last June and haven't started rennovations. I've been procrastinating on paperwork.
I have a lot of cash sitting uninvested. I'm losing money to opportunity cost. I need a sense of urgency. In just a year, out of luck, I've gone from a broke college student to a high-earner yuppie.
It took me ten months to finalize my motorcycle license. Three have passed for the house. The clock is ticking—to have an aversion to action and a perversion for analysis is a curse.
My bi-weekly therapy is unfortunately working, and my drive to "be enough" is diminishing. Because, I am enough. And happier. But who wants to be happy when you can be rich?
I hope buying the motorcycle tomorrow will give me more motivation. It's expensive.
Today
This weekend I'm trying to organize a meetup to attend a Beyblade tournament. I'm quite excited.
Today I didn't do any work. I reviewed a PR and cancelled a meeting. My brother would be proud.
And somehow, my mind is quiet.
But what I wish to say is captured in this scene from The Matrix.
There is no spoon. Reality is as you wish to perceive it.
