I'm surprised I got this started...
I've always wanted to start a blog but I never got over the hurdle to actually do it. Well, I'm just a lazy slacker who always just does the bare minimum to get what I want. Probably starting sometime in 2016, I've always had a mindset to grind and bootstrap some startup - mostly for the sake of money for financial freedom. I don't hope for much; I just want to be able to have some SaaS business where I am able to work solely and be able to mind my own business. The flexibility and freedom is really captivating to me. I've worked on various projects throughout that time until now. I've built an Android Game, a Tetris bot, a Picture-in-Picture Chrome extension, a Shopifiy subscriptions app, and a bunch of web apps. All of which are half-assed and incomplete. Reflecting back, it's totally logical why these projects are incomplete or why I get bored of them overtime. My main motivation for me building all these apps were for money. I guess money doesn't motivate me enough to work hard on these projects. Sometime in 2021, I started working for a fairly large tech company with a nice pay and that's when my drive started to die out for building out these projects even more. People calls these jobs the "golden handcuffs" which I fully understand. The doses of pay satifies my hunger for financial independence just enough for me to be content. I know I will still probably live a decent life by tradational standards but working for someone else just doesn't feel good. I don't think I can ever put in my full effort unless I am working for myself regardlesss of the payout. Moving forward, I'm only going to work on projects purely for passion and hopefuly it lands me somewhere.
