While I am privy to a monopoly to this luxurious mansion, I have been considering how little time is left before the New Year. 2025 is right around the corner, and I spent a whole year, almost, preparing for it…
As with all the best laid plans, they are 90% preparation, 9% execution, and 0.9% willed by audience-driven research. As usual, we leave an element of mystery, 0.1% as it stands.
An unexpected windfall has led me to being able to afford my usual generous custom of monetary gifts… but so much money being given away makes me hypothesise how much wealth I would have amassed if I kept it all: I’d probably be poorer for having hoarded it anyway. ๐
Exercise is good- practicing kung fu is my ideal exercise. I want to improve my stamina, which means going back to more external training, but that’s not an issue. It does remind me that I will not stop progressing my martial arts so this isn’t my peak. But am I past my prime? Potentially, depending on what we mean by that.
I have the opportunity to live like Linghu Chong or Di Yun, considering it my holiday gift of sorts, and tomorrow/later today I will implement my plans to make full use of the time left before seeing my precious disciple in a week. I will have much wealth timed for the start of the new year! Enough to better provide for my family… it was a heavy burden to bear, but I know it’s better to have borne the burden, and there is a bourne in sight.
I’m on the cusp of being 36, and what a wondrous time it is! Certainly, soon, I could attain the state of dying at any given moment, and not caring overly much as I would have ticked off a large amount of my original bucket list. Still, that doesn’t mean I will seek my demise, but instead, I will embrace my freedom.
