I'm back with an update. I'm going to try not to cry because that's so embarrassing. But the update is not good. I started this journey literally just wanting to prove that people without tech background could do this. Could make an app. And I made a complicated app. This is not a simple app. I will add that. Um I wanted to do this not because I'm like coder are not needed like no. I don't I can't financially create this app that I've wanted to make forever. And I have the do the do the version of it live right now and I know what it could be and I try to make it. I don't know if I'm going to finish it. I don't. Main issue being like, when I'm trying to fix this, it's really hard. And getting off-leverage has been a shit show. Like it's so much more complicated for some reason. And putting it live and having to maintain it is something that I don't know if I want to be my life. Like, do I want to maintain this? Um I wish I had money. Like if I had money, I'd hire a co-operator, I'd hired a driver, but I don't. So, I feel like why would I bring it? Why would I spend six months on my fucking life building this to then just not. I don't know what is next. I don't know. It's Mercury retrograde, so I'm giving it some time. But I don't know. I don't know what the future looks like. Maybe I can come into some money and pay some money to actually just rebuild it. Um, cuz I don't know if I could do it. I want to add this isn't like a hi-hi ha-ha. Like I could do this and coder are not as smart. Like this is just my life and something that I wanted to build. And something that could change my life. And when you don't have a financial means to bring something life and all of a sudden, there's a AI and you could, you have to take up that opportunity. But, I don't know. I don't know if AI is at the point that it can help me. Get it there. and be able to maintain it. So, that's right.
