Hello? Budapest calling!
Denmark chapter was done. University-wise it is a lost semester, but it opened my eyes to the world, and that is what matters.
The first thing I started on my new journey was to start reading books. Primarily non-fiction. I read a lot as a kid, but it was always fantasy or Sci-Fi (which I think is a very good thing), but now time was to do something else. And the first book I randomly picked of some list was Rich Dad Poor Dad. And to be honest, there are many better books out there, but for the start, this (in my opinion more motivational book) was exactly what I needed. And I also have to say, it lessened the boredom of traveling by train for 7 hours...
After reading this I was pumped, and decided to start writing. I though to myself: "I always enjoyed creating imaginary worlds, it would be cool if I make millions doing this!" And so I invested almost two months of dedication towards creating my first novella. How many people read it? Have no idea, but I know that it got about 3-4 free downloads. This was a huge blow to me. While I know the work I produced isn't my Magnum opus, disappointment was real.
But I quickly overcome that feeling and continued writing, adjusting it to be sellable. What I found out was that the process became tiresome and boring. My writing also changed ( for worse I'd say ), because money plagued the mind. Even though my family supported me, I felt that the book writing chapter of my life is not now. And then, I dropped writing for the time being (except poems, those I still write). Was it easier than figuring it out? - Definitely. However, I couldn't shake off the feeling that this isn't it. And that led me to make the final verdict.
But the question was, what now? I didn't have any ideas, or if I did I had no clues on how to make them a reality. So I turned to book reading, and a course here and there (mostly free stuff that I could find). Idea was that I needed to expand my horizon, and to figure out how did others succeed. During that time I read TMF . That book really resonated with me, and told me that it is possible to achieve. But at that point I wasn't doubting the possibility, I just didn't know what to do with it. So I started testing different things, like creating applications.
"People like to play video games on the phone, I can do that!" - Turns out its not that easy.
"Social media is a way to go!" - To do what, and go where?

....
And so, one after the other, ideas fell into the abyss. But I didn't give up, it was just a matter of time and sharpness of mind. As well as the effort put into it of course. But while I was doing all this, another September enrollment date for Universities passed. This time, I was the one who was ill prepared and ill informed. But times were changing, and all these roadblocks and failurse made me more and more interested. My blood started to boil, and there was no going back.
So I said to myself. Prepare for the next enrollment date and figure out what to do.
And so, the fun started...
