CHAPTER VI: GLORIOUS RAIN “Age wrinkles the body; quitting wrinkles the soul.”― Douglas MacArthur
There is something about the rain that makes me feel calm. Personally, I can't imagine a life without the rain and the cloudy days; the only objects I feel missing are the lovely pine trees. This is my perfect personal depiction of Heaven on Earth.
Part I: Progress Stats
1. August's Financial Statement Net Income: $3,043 Assets: $7,594 Cash: $2,100 Expenses: $1,187 Debt: $1,500 Passive Income: $76 Net Worth: $8,194 2. Writing Value Vouchers: $100.87 Views: 2,745 Articles Published: 6 Time Invested: 04:32:09
3. July Vs. August (Inputs & Outputs) July's Input & Output:
8h of Fastlane = $116
115h of Bussing = $2,001
August's Input & Output
5h of Fastlane = $100
156h at Work = $2,943
Part II: August's Highlights
I received a job promotion because the guy/friend who recommended me left in the last week of August, and I kindly accepted the promotion. Therefore, I now work more hours than usual.
In addition, looking back at the past helped me discover the reason for my sluggishness. My conclusion is that I love NYC very dearly. It gave me the best days of my life during my childhood before my life went downhill in puberty.
Although I know it's already in the past, my present self might still be attached to those far memories. Consequently, just last Sunday, I visited the street where I used to live as a kid, as I do a few times every year, and I don't have any words to describe the sorrow I felt that lonely night after work at 2 am, especially after July's emotional rollercoaster.
This can explain the reason why I might not want to make any massive progress that can get me closer to my dream state. I hate to say it, but it needs to be said. Since I got here alone 3 years ago, I fell into the trap of building a somewhat comfortable place with things to ease the pain I experienced in my parent's hometown.
However, I can't let any brick wall stop me in this maze. Moving on, I self-destructed my blog with its 100+ articles and 2 spreadsheets that weren't producing any favorable results. I'm currently readjusting depending on the results of September in case more self-destruction is needed and adopted a new strategy to implement.
To end with this monthly update, I also uncovered another truth about myself that I wasn't able to see up until a few days ago. I'm still hesitant if I should talk about it in the next monthly update or not. Whatever the case, I wish y'all an excellent month.

Part V: The Future
I bet I seem fine. *Disclaimer: This content is for entertainment/ informational/ personal purposes only. It was not created to be a substitute for professional guidance. Consider consulting with a professional or a specialist. Take what you think works for you, and discard what doesn't.
In addition, I only do or say what I think will work or currently works for me or where I personally lack; the monthly updates are primarily based on how I choose to respond to whatever this game called life decides to throw at me personally (actual real-life events). What I do obviously doesn't apply to everybody. I might've or may give advice by accident or request only, or until I become a Legendary Contributor, this is the reason why I'm currently only active a couple of days here every month. Thanks in advance!
