Bored Blog 12: Got to Hurry Up!

7/23/2021

Whats up?

Yesterday I had my roller skate dance class. After the class some of the students stayed and rolled around the rink.

I practiced some of the dance moves we learned while trying not to feel self-conscious. Maybe thats a muscle I need to work out. The "focus on what you're doing and not what people think of you because they're probably not looking at you," muscle.

After some tries and failures I rolled around the rink. I thought about what my dad said when I told him I joined this class. He said this is good because we'll have a roller rink near by the tiny home community.

I'm not really sure how helpful this class is for that unless I become a roller skate teacher or something.

My mind likes to jump around-I think I need to try to talk to people in my class. I've had some opportunities to talk to a few of them, but that slight second where they could acknowledge me but decide to ignore me, keeps my mouth shut. Of course they could be thinking the same about me, which is why I don't take it personally. And I shouldn't give up because of that.

For the next class I'm going to try to talk to one person. Even if it is just a sentence. I need to also work that social skill of mine more.

Oh! I saw this video yesterday!

I was feeling stuck after watching some other videos on successful people, and decided to look up "How to make a Tiny Home Community." This video popped up and I was surprised!

This guy...sorry I don't remember his name if they mentioned it - this guy started making a tiny home community in Tennessee. He has this women as his cameraman, and they started working on it last year.

The set up to their story, the people here and their situation are all the things my dad, bro and I are trying to do!

This guy even said he wants to open up a community in California - that's what we're working on right now!

Watching this guy, I kept thinking, "What did he do right?" I also kept thinking, "We need to hurry!!!!!" ヽ(#ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ !!(ﾉ*ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ Σ(°Д°；≡；°д°) If we don't buy the land soon, this dude will make it seem like we're copying him. My dad has been planning all the details since 2019 (or maybe earlier?).

I sent the video to my dad and the guys we'll be working with on the community. After a while they said "Thanks!" and that's it. I was thinking, "Did you guys not watch it?!" I later brought it up to my dad and he said with his usual smile, "Thanks for sharing it with us Emel." I said with a serious face," Did you watch all of it? This guy built a community during 2020..." (when my dad and I wanted to start building, "...he was able to get funding from people..." (we failed at getting fully funded,"...he wants to build a beach, have lots of trees, lights around the community and a farm..." (the things my dad wants to put in our community), "...and he wants to build another one in California!"

This got my dad's attention. "We need to hurry then...If we ever get the money before they [the people we're working with] buy the land, we're doing it. We're not waiting."

At this point that's if somehow we get enough money for it.

We'll see...I'm praying. We might have to try again on Kickstarter or something to try getting funded again.

We have no choice but to keep trying.

I hope you're past two days have been going well.

Best,

Emel
