It’s here. A sample of my well planned, over-designed garment. It's in front of my face, the final product and I am happy. Very happy. Trying to stay focus on the result. Money or profit is not an issue at the moment. The final product is. Don’t let it distract you, we are not there yet.

Don't let it slip away
I remember that call as if it was yesterday. It was my first call introducing myself to my team in India. My computer didn’t work until the last minute, I had to book another office and there were so many people on that call- I was nerves. Someone asked me, "what can you tell us about yourself?" and I said, “I can sit for 10 hours in a row…”. They all laughed. Till this day I think it's my superpower. Don't let it slip away.

Another feature of being scared
I am almost there. Sending those four well-organized emails with my work for the past year. My designs, emotions, dedication, and hard work is there. It's been a long journey. Long journey of double-checking, “perfectionist” excuses, and "striving for perfection" aka hiding. In the last two days, I have been working at a different pace, slower. It's done. Send it already. The slow movement it another feature of being scared.

“Purpose-driven life”
“Purpose-driven life”, I wrote that on my wall of wisdom. It is in front of my face, next to my bad, it's my best view, my progress. I taped a big paper sheet on my wall on March 15th, when my bedroom became my office due to COVID. Now, this wall is full of notes, sentences, words who inspire me, make me think harder, and show me the progress I have made- Sometimes I can't believe it myself.

What do we care about?
On every news website, you can see the number of sick, hospitalized, and dead people. Unfortunately, you will see people going to the beach when they are infected, take a walk without a mask, and laugh at people who wear them. “It is not going to happen to me” is a well-known vibe but where is your humanity, your conscience. Knowing you can take someone’s life. If we don't care about this, what do we care about?

Problem-solving
“I could sleep all day” I told my little sister at the elevator after making a mistake that cost me a whole working day. she answered, “You know that is not true”. I know she is right. She is always right. It is a problem-solving journey. And that is the name of the game.

“If only?”
“If only?” is a bug I am trying to get rid of. It is unuseful, draining, and time-consuming. I love double checking, making sure the person in front of me got it, but sometimes it looks like I don't trust. Today the trust I gave cost me, not only money. There is no “if only?”. Take responsibility and move on.
