Day 70 (1)
Optimism intertwines with anxiety. Energy with tiredness. Weather is quite awful and I've had quite a useless day. Nevertheless there is still sense of purpose and optimism with me. It's just one of those days I'd rather sleep through and wake up in the better tomorrow.
Lots to talk about but today I wanna talk about money. At the beginning of each month I sum up all my money to see if I saved up or lost money in the end. Not getting into details I went over my monthly due by about 50$. This is fine but still I think I'll do some austerity measures. Nothing major, the idea is that I want to save up money every month. Also remember that as I run LTU I'm supposed to be winning lotteries an such and the tickets won't buy themselves
I wouldn't be posting about this if not for the fact that I do want to have some additional spending. And what is surprising is that these are all optional stuff. For example I'm thinking about using Patreon to support some of the people who's work I enjoy and currently I do so for free. It seems only fair to support them. Other example is Audible and their library of audiobooks. So far podcasts on Spotify are enough for me, but I could use content which is more directional for lack of a better word.
What I describe here is push I have for a couple of years now. In the past I used to pirate almost everything, from video games to music. I no longer pirate games - why when I have 200+ games on Steam. I no longer pirate music - I have Spotify subscription. I no longer pirate movies and TV series - I simply don't watch it as I have plenty of great content on YouTube. And now that I am financially stable enough to allow this, I want to go step further and support those who entertain me for free.

For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.
