Let me tell you a crazy story

A friend of mine got the idea to make a charity gala for the Swedish event Musikhjälpen. It's a charity event that involves a small group of celebrities being locked up in a glass cage for a week, broadcasting on radio 24/7. During the event anyone can wish a song by donating $5 or more, and it will get played on radio.

So this friend of mine books a huge arena two months before the gala that hasn't even been planned yet, and it all came down to this big thing yesterday evening. With over a thousand people in the audience we managed to collect almost 200 000 SEK, about 22 000 USD. Oh, and did I mention it was all done voluntarily - even the scene and video coverage was donated.

So here we are, having collected a total of over 400 000 SEK (44 000 USD) for the cause of this year's theme; everyones right to be they way they are, regardless if you've got Downs Syndrome or any other disability. You see, this was done together with the Swedish Scouts, and during this week that's the crazy amount of money we've been able to collect for this great cause. Damn it's been great!

Just had to share it. You won't be able to believe what a great feeling this is 😊

Lately I have been overthinking a lot. I am stressing myself out on every single decision believing that decisions I make today will define my tomorrow.

In hindsight, all the major and positive impact that have happened in my life were the decisions I took on the fly without much underlying research. The executional part did have me struggle a little but almost all of the best things happened to me were unplanned.

Funnily this has been my philosophy since years but guess what, I failed to follow it this time.

My overthinking and over planning caused me to mess up a little leading to a lot of unwanted anxieties.

Now let's reflect a little on the past, when my first relationship ended.. wait.. even earlier..

When I was in 5th standard, I was crazy bullied at school but I was happy go lucky and things turned out in my favour throughout till date.

I used to do what I loved and enjoyed. I literally never worried or thought about future. Not even once, things just fell in place for me miraculously.

When my first relationship ended, I was shattered. The darkest time of my life and me being all alone, I came out strong.

I used to live happy. I used to do stuff that I loved. I used to not care about what people thought. No socials for me. I used to follow random dark or counter culture stuff and be a little rebel that I am.

I remember, she and I used to go for fuck tons of events, hangout at waterfront of the city, spend time together and just be ourselves.

I never used to compete, compare, or conflict with anyone.

devRant was (and still is) a digital home for me. Wonderful phase of life.

Then shit went south. I joined Reddit. A girl told me about a pen pal app. Met another girl there.

Joined Telegram again to be in touch with her. She wasn't interested but I stayed on Telegram.

I could pick up any girl in minutes and do so effortlessly.

Slowly the twin extrovert in me came out. I started building and maintaining insanely awesome network.

Started spending more time on Reddit and Telegram.

Joined a bunch of professional communities. Career sky rocketd.

I was still happy and living a gala life at this stage.

Slowly, I realised I was underpaid (via professional communities). That unsettled me.

I frantically started hunting for jobs. 2020 and COVID-19 hit. Being indoors sucked more.

Became more aggressive on job hunt, money, building skills, work work work...

Met a hoe who fucked my emotions and ethics even further.

Got a high paying job. WLB went negative.

I started losing myself. I forgot my hobbies. I don't know what happiness is. I don't remember when I last smiled. I started planning my finances. Overthinking and stressing about shit troubled me into sleepless nights followed by early morning calls made things worse to my health.

I lost the clarity of my life. I FUCKING LOST ME.

I want myself back and I am gonna work for it. That happy little rebel Floyd who never gave a fuck about other's opinion on him or his beliefs. That dude who was shy to talk to girls. The guy who'd follow his passion and not society of high paying jobs or shit.

I almost got my finances and taxation sorted. Now I'll work to get my office timings in place. If not then I'll switch and find a job in UK/EU with a good WLB. And at the same time I'll pursue my hobbies.

Enough of rat race shit. Money has always been an outcome of my hard work and high work ethics. I want to live a life and I am willing to trade of extremely high paying/stressful FAANG jobs for a small company keeping me happy.

I'll be the happy Floyd that I was once was.

Because, the heart wants what the heart wants :)

hello world

I've been trading forex for a while, but I feel like my strategies lack structure. I came across an article on about creating a forex strategy based on technical analysis. Can someone break down the key steps involved in this process?

Looking to buy steroids online for a cutting cycle, but super worried about getting fake products or losing money to scams. Any suggestions for trustworthy websites with quality gear?

I’m just starting to explore online casinos, and to be honest, it’s overwhelming. Every site I open is filled with flashy banners, promises of huge bonuses, and terms I barely understand. I don’t want to waste money or sign up somewhere shady. What I really need is a beginner-friendly place that explains things clearly. Do you have any advice on where to start looking?

I often get requests from customers who want to pay with crypto, but I’ve been reluctant. I worry about volatility and don’t want extra accounting headaches. Is there a service that handles those issues?

I found an older Akai sound system at home and I’d love to set it up again, but I no longer have the manual. Do you know where I could get the original instructions for Akai products, including vintage ones?

Como profesional de la salud, siempre me aseguro de comprar productos de alta calidad y certificados para mis pruebas. ¿Alguien tiene experiencia con los productos de Gentaur? ¿Son confiables y cumplen con las normativas de seguridad?

I’ve been put in charge of logistics for my sister’s wedding in Tuscany, and one of the biggest challenges is transportation. Most of the guests are flying in from different countries, and they’ll all be landing at the Florence and Pisa airports. We don’t want people struggling with taxis or trains, and ideally, we’d like to have a single service that can collect everyone and take them straight to the wedding venue. Do you think a private bus rental would work for this type of event, and are there services that cater to weddings specifically?

Tengo familiares en Argentina y me envían cosas por correo varias veces al año, pero siempre es complicado saber cuándo llegará el paquete. ¿Hay algún servicio que funcione bien para Latinoamérica?
