Interesting stories are those which have crushing lows and soaring highs. I am not yet at my lowest point, but it is getting harder everyday. Most days thinking about my future leaves me shit scared. So here I am trying my hardest to take it day by day.
Like I always do, I turned towards my mentors to pick me out of this slump. Today Austin Kleon's "Steal Like An Artist " came to my rescue. I have wasted three years of my life, I neither have a degree nor any viable skills and all my friends have jobs, while I am the one who needs a job the most. My family has very little money. I have very few friends. So what do I do, I asked.
So Austin answered :
" Whenever you're at a loss for what move to make next, just ask yourself, " What would make a better story? "
So what can I do today to make my story a better one. What can I do today so that I can find an interesting job or learn some new skills? HHHmmm.....
What now?
1. Pick 1 Kickstarter project you are interested in and put it in spreadsheet with all its specs.

Thank you Austin for being the support I need now.
