I finally ran my first loop of Stage 1 yesterday. When I saw the announcement and the copy last month, I knew the guys had struck gold. This might be the single most important sub released so far. And it was also exactly what I was looking for, the missing puzzle piece in my life. I’ve been trying to address these “basic adulting” areas for a while and I have been improving but things could be much better.
It’s funny, it was the last day of my short week trip with my girlfriend, and I had been arranging everything on our trip and everything went smoothly. But after listening to my first loop, everything started going wrong in small ways. Took the metro in the wrong direction, got the wrong ticket, almost left my backpack in public, ordered the wrong food, etc. Nothing major and nothing that wasn’t fixable, but I made lots of stupid small mistakes that I usually don’t make and hadn’t made at all during the rest of the trip.
And at first I got frustrated, but then my girlfriend reassured me that actually she was very happy with how I had arranged everything so far, and it made me realize that all these small things were just “meant” to keep me on my toes in daily life.
Later that day after we got home, I was very motivated to get everything in order. And I did. And today, back at work I have been very diligent and productive, and also managed to finish all of the leftover financial stuff from during and before the trip. I haven’t felt so “in control” in a long time. I can’t wait what this sub will bring me over a handful of cycles.
