coding and maxxing out life
things i've done ~
if i knew i only had one shot, i'd do everything i possibly could to
make it the best shot. "suck the bone marrow out of life" - Thoreau. i
came across this quote in 7th grade and it has always stuck with me.
i'm stubborn about following my own path. i skipped AP classes to scale a
reselling business. i built projects instead of grinding leetcode. result:
i didn't get into a top school or secure a faang internship. but i'd rather
bet on myself than follow a script.
my lowest point came after my first real failure — betting on myself didn't
pay off. but i realized my identity isn't the outcome, it's the process. build,
fail, try again, grow. that loop is what makes me feel alive.
