So, about that 'hustle' I was talking about... Yeah, let's just say my focus has taken a slight detour. Or maybe, a full-on, high-speed exit off the highway of productivity. Instead of brainstorming brilliant side hustle ideas, I’ve found myself deeply immersed in the pixelated world of Mobile Legends. And Gilmore Girls. Simultaneously. Because apparently, I have the multitasking skills of a caffeinated squirrel.
I’ve become a support main, because, let’s be honest, I’m too scared to tank or fight. I’m the one throwing heals and shields, making sure everyone else looks good while I’m just trying not to get obliterated. It’s a metaphor for my life right now, isn’t it? I’m supporting everyone else’s dreams while mine are on pause, loading...
And then, when I’m not saving virtual lives, I’m living vicariously through Lorelai and Rory Gilmore. I’ve rediscovered my love for fast-paced banter and the comforting chaos of Stars Hollow. It's the perfect escape from the reality of my 'broke era.' Who needs to figure out finances when you can analyze the romantic entanglements of fictional characters?
It's amazing how easily I get sidetracked. I intended to look up online freelancing, and then suddenly, three hours had passed, and I had successfully carried a team to victory (as support, of course) and knew the entire history of Luke and Lorelai.
I told my friend, 'Max,' about my 'productive' day. He just sighed and said, 'You know, you could be using that focus for something that actually pays the bills.' He has a point, but then again, he hasn't seen me land a perfect stun with my support skills. It’s an art!
I’m starting to think my 'broke era' isn’t just about the lack of money. It’s also about the lack of discipline. I’m like a shiny object enthusiast, constantly drawn to the next distraction. But hey, at least I’m having fun, right?
I’m going to try and find a balance between gaming, binge-watching, and actually doing something productive. Maybe tomorrow I’ll set a timer. Or maybe I’ll just watch another episode of Gilmore Girls. It’s a tough call.
Until tomorrow,
Still broke, still distracted, still supporting from the backlines.
