If doing something for 7 years is not being persistent, then I don't know what is. Perhaps the name of this account has lived true to its name and meaning — the point of no return. Well, it had its fair share of gravitational shifts and time warps but it never lost its trajectory. It's been orbiting through the unknown and intimidating paths, learning and growing (and hibernating) all the same, for seven long years.

Today is the first time that I wondered, what if I hadn't known about this digital space; what would my life be like; would it be better or miserable or the same as it was before? One thing I know is that I would definitely be doing something creative, writing or probably just doing something related to my educational background for once, if I had fewer distractions.

But then, there would be no @event-horizon, no eating my own brain out in hopes of learning a thing or two about this strange platform, which offers endless opportunities but was weird enough to drain out after a few comments as if it ran on a battery — Darn it! RC.

Anyhoo, on this day, I wish to be more like event-horizon in my real life — more consistent and passionate about things that I do off-chain. I get bored easily and quickly move from one thing to another. I wish to be more decisive and opinionated. It's a lot easier to be the best version of yourself or whatever version you wish to be when you are behind the keyboard but the life outside machines is a lot more complicated.

Ok, I didn't intend to wear a philosophical hat today, I just wanted to write down some resolutions which I didn't on New Year. It's probably because today feels like more of my achievement than January 1st, which comes anyway.

Coming straight to the aims:

• Read all the unread books on my shelf before ordering the new ones. Although I have already ordered one that was before this post so it doesn't count. 😆

• Prioritize my mental and physical health and stay away from all kinds of toxicity. That I have been doing for a long time now. 🙂

• Less screen time. Play more board games with the fam. We already have a Monopoly match on Friday night. I hope I can bankrupt my 8-year-old with the same ease he confiscated all my assets last Friday.

That's just it about life off-chain — no big goals. Just the important ones.

About Steem, this year I wish to read and engage more than before. Lately, I haven't been able to read and engage much. It's not because I don't see relatable and good content. It's there, it's just that... I don't know what. I have no excuse. I shall work on it.

Lastly, to all the new users who are struggling to navigate their way around, you just need to drop a comment. I guarantee no money but growth, only if you have the right mindset.

Happy 7th to me. 😊
