it's been a long journey. so many ups and downs. so many times I almost lost hope. but I never stopped believing. I diamond handed it. deep down, I knew this day would come. today, for the first time in my life, I decide to celebrate and sell 1 SOL. my heart is racing. I'm sweating. after staring at the screen for what feels like an eternity, I finally hit sell. I walk to my local cafe and order an espresso. shit, $294 is not enough. it's october 2142. an espresso costs $300. I'm 150 years old. thank god I listened to bryan johnson (RIP)
