I was inspired by MrBeast’s success to make this kind of content. I figured it would really feel awesome to achieve the goals and dreams that I envisioned and to be proud of my younger self. So I began writing this article officially on June 11th, 2023 at 11:30 AM. This final English version was officially saved on June 13th 2023 at 11:05 AM (proof below)
No additional updates have been made as of June 13th 2023 at 11:17 AM (proof below).
Therefore, this post was scheduled to be officially published to the public on June 13th, 2025 at 11:17 AM (proof below)
It has been exactly three months and five days since I started the blog. I am still working on understanding how the whole analytics platform works by the way. Here is a quick screenshot of what my numbers looks like from the date I started to the publication date of this post:
Notice the spikes are when I hopped on the blog on the computers of some retail stores, so they were not even organic searches. Therefore, absolutely NO ONE else except me has typed and clicked on the website link. Also, as of now, not even my direct family (parents and siblings) knows about it, its name and has clicked on it not even once. I told nobody in-person about it and I made no official announcements on any social media so far. I only shared it on my Linkedin profile.
Although I constantly refine my goals and dreams, I will purposely leave this post unchanged to keep the raw message and the authenticity when I look back two years from now.
Without further ado, here is my message to you, my future self!!
I hope you will have the following:
- At least 10 loyal blog readers in any language. So for example, 10 loyal readers only in French would be okay, but not necessarily 10 in the other two languages.
- You are able to support yourself with this blog by affording daily food expenses and returning expenses incurred from setting it up. Hope it can also cover cost of running things like Internet subscription, equipment, phone bills and any insurances.
- You can earn extra to save and invest on the side
- You have better mastery of the Spanish language and you are able to promote in Spanish your blog in some Spanish speaking countries
- You are still healthy, injury free and more muscular
- You have visited some countries, met some meaningful people and let go of some country prejudices or worries you heard about in the mainstream media.
- You are on your way and confident that you have figured out a path or a playbook on how this blog can fully support your bigger financial goals such as having a large family.
- You still have your hybrid bicycle and use it to travel around and get to places when you can.
- You are less sad, anxious and angry and more content, fulfilled and well surrounded.
- You are living your dream lifestyle of traveling whenever you want, however you want and wherever you want without much financial stress of living on the edge of being broke.
- You are looking up more than you are looking down (but watch where you are going!).
- You might have gone through some educational institution to learn the language or for anything else, but if you tried your best running this blog, then you spent your focus at the right place.
- You do not depend anymore on your parents financially,emotionally or for anything else and you can achieve your goals and dreams on your terms and timeline.
- You achieve your goals and dreams by being shameless in asking anyone (except parents) for help, directions, resources, etc. The worst case scenario is they say no, flaunt their ego at you for having it harder and then ignore you. It does objectively nothing to your life and it shows more that they have been treated the same way and can’t get over it.
- You have more self-respect and feel less ashamed of telling yourself that you are proud of your life
There are loads of stuff I would like to add, but for now, the previous bullet points will do. I will probably save some similar content like these (hi me in 2,5,10,15,20,25,30,100 years 😁😅) and schedule them to be published in the future just for the fun of it and for lasting memories.
