necessarily delusional

You need to be delusional to a certain degree.

Because if you weren’t you wouldn’t believe you could actually do it.

You aren’t supposed to say you’re special because nobody wants to hear that type of boasting.

But if you’re actually special then what are you supposed to do? Keep it a secret?

No. You keep it a delusion, somewhere between unreal and real.

So when you get there then you were right all along.

And if you don’t then you were just crazy.

MY8 Pumas

bought for $20/ea

Sold to South Korea for $120+/ea

Made a summer’s worth of money in a few weeks. Saw some people take notice along the way. It made me proud to make them proud. Proud is something people don’t feel all the time but sometimes they should.

It makes people happy to see other people doing stuff right for a change.

a lot of people save work for the weekends. that’s why some peoples’ work-week never ends.
