(Danny) Hey wassup guys! It’s genuinely nice to be back with another “shorts” posting. Yesterday, after 9 weeks of doing everything I can to both, do the right things, and to do things the right way, I am happy to share that my first freelance project (in a while) has been completed. Well, let’s just call this Phase One. As I understand from my client, I’ll get to continue working on the next few phases of development, so that is definitely a plus and motivation. But that is not what I wish to talk about today. You guys know my story if you have been following my blog for some time. Back in 2019, I lost all of my past works, my portfolio. It was one of the most devastating things that can ever happen for a professional like myself. I didn’t just lose my projects, I had lost my voice. For years, I have always loved relying on my work to do the talking for me because I truly believe that the results of our work speaks louder than our words ever can.

And so, now that Phase One of the Satori PageBuilder is truly completed, I feel like for the first time since 2019, I have finally found my voice again. This to me isn’t just like completing a simple freelance project. To me, this is proof and evidence that I am the man that I’ve always been. I am the guy that helped to create the breadcrumb links that billions of people click on everyday. I am the guy that pioneered the modern day visual indicators. I am that guy.

And now, with this recent v1.0 project completion, I feel like I never have to use my voice to try and justify myself or my worth/value anymore. And as I continue to take on more clients and work, I will continue to do the very same thing that I’ve always done, helping clients to make the biggest impact possible. I suppose you could say that that has always been my superpower.

And yeah, to make things better, I got to use a S$10 SG60 voucher today at the Nasi Lemak stall and get the auntie to give me some cash change, which I then use to order myself a nice Iced Milo.

And it was worth it! That mountain of food, made me feel so grateful and appreciative for what I do have, even if it’s just a meal-on-vouchers.
