February 1, 2024. It was a "historic" day for me as I finally paid off my 6-figure debt.
Looking back on my 2023, since I stopped updating from the ** platform in August, I have started to rest and recuperate. For the friends I met, I didn't say goodbye to them, it may have something to do with my personality, the Taurus in April.
I just felt sorry from the bottom of my heart, but I didn't know how to explain it to others, so I turned myself into a "stower" and left the circle. Shut down all previously related content platforms.
In half a year, I completed the identity change from unmarried to married, and my main business brought me a lot of pressure, and this kind of life could not give me enough time to engage in my hobbies, so I became very anxious.
I gave myself 180 days to keep getting in touch with interesting things and seeing the outside world. To release my pressure, I went to the hospital for a physical examination, and my body changed from 3 abnormal indicators in 2021 to 13. I started the physical **.
During the self-a** period, I saw the bloggers and circle of friends I followed. Very happy and anxious. I've found that actively turning off social interactions makes me feel very calm.
My transformation from reading books to listening to books now. I started listening to a lot of podcasts, and I've recommended podcasts before.
Why should you listen?
The popular form of content on the Internet has undergone several rounds of changes, from long articles to short content, from long ** to short **, but it has never been the turn of podcasts, largely due to some of its own characteristics.
Just like many people hate long voices, audio is a kind of slow consumption content that is difficult to display intuitively, and when you listen to it, you need to fast forward and rewind to position it repeatedly, and when you share it with others, it is difficult to reach the purpose like text and **.
Of course, from another point of view, this slow pace is an advantage. It doesn't need to take up much of your attention, so it's natural and safe to use as a background sound when doing other things and listen to it with headphones when commuting.
Text and** is indeed easy to spread, it is fast consumption content, but it also has a great impact on people's attention and concentration, you can quickly browse the article, read**can double the speed**, you may have rowed for half an hour, but a complete article, a complete** have not been read.
It satisfies my needs to a certain extent for cognition, poor information, and points of interest. The point is that the listening scene is very diverse, and the sense of immersion is strong, and it will not be disturbed by other information.
This year (in fact, it is one and a half years), in addition to my main business income, plus writing, etc., I did not give myself a little time to rest, and I got off work at 9 o'clock every night, and even wrote until the early hours of the morning, and so on.
Of course, there is a reward for paying, I saw hope, until the end of 23 years, I finally paid it off, and understood what it was like to be debt-free and light, at that moment I was very confused, I had been paying it back, and suddenly I didn't know what I should do.
I even went to check my bookkeeping and regretted my past, if it weren't for these debts, would my life be a little better now, would it be a little easier, would it leave room for my hobbies.
Entering February 2024, I didn't make much plans and goals for the year, of course, I only have one purpose--- save money.
I'm ready to start my self-a** industry again, continue my writing, and start to continue my nagging about *** and Xiaohongshu and headlines. I would like to continue with my lessons learned. (After all, he is also a person who has been a self-a** for 1 year).
I'm 29 years old, and I want to think about whether to have children, but this idea needs to be supported by financial means, after all, the Internet industry I work in can be laid off at any time.
Some time ago, a friend asked, according to the current development of the Xiaohongshu platform, is it worth it for me to start again, I can only say that it is not too late to do anything!
Encourage yourself again, pay will be rewarded, and strive to be your own "rich generation".
