Listened to the entire Paul of Dune book today. Was pretty good. Got some stuff done but this new app I started seems kinda stupid in hindsight. I don't know, I kinda like it. It's a y2k video editing app. Cool that I started with a video APi to download youtube videos and clip them and linked it to the app. At least that part is good. Idk maybe people will like it. Usually before making stuff I'd look up what else is already out there, the does the same thing. I stopped recently since it's just too fast to make things with AI. I should probably start again though. well have AI do it..

really procrastinating making my AI workflow better, the apps I was working on last week. I really should get on that just distracted with my photo SAS and these other random projects I keep starting and sort of finishing. It's pretty fun though and I'm not really in a rush. Other people always seem to be. It's all so fleeting. I feel like I have plenty of time to do whatever I want. I guess I'm blessed with a good life.

Sounds like bs cap or some corny shit but after being depressed for 10 years while growing up it all started getting better when I stopped trying to be something i wasn't. Stopped trying to be normal or fulfill arbitrary expectations by society or other people place on me. Who wants to be normal anyways? A normal tool gets it's utility taken for granted. While something rare and unique is treasured. And yes tools are used, just like people are. I'm saying this so if someone is actually reading this one time they can make take some lesson from this. Stop letting yourself get used. Especially if the person using you is a dumbass. It's ok to be a sort of tool for someone if they respect you as a human being and appreciate what you do for them. Just make sure your agenda is in line with the one they have in mind for you. In this scenario if the person you're working for has your interests in mind it can often be an excellent growth opportunity.

Now to think of a gift for my friend's party..
