Chapters

We have a ton of time this week. Might be going to some event. Let me check your email with this really cool guy. Ton of stuff happening, kind of like all night to be honest. Let's see. Says I'm going but like the guy hasn't responded to message him if you're not in nyu. But I'm going. Just chill. Not much happening though. I could have gone to like the series HQ house thing tonight, but to be honest, like sometimes like the network is like, right. Like I could have met founders of series, which is cool. They raised like 5,6 million doll. A bunch of other smart people there also. But I could be out every night meeting a bunch of influential people and never make anything. And they not respect you because not doing the work to actually become influential. So I think it's really important try to balance it.
