Okay, I cheated.

I didn’t write every day.

I write whenever the mood strikes. Like right now. And then publish it for a few days later. Because:

  1. I can;
  2. I want to;
  3. Medium actually provided delayed-publication posting option

Also I currently need to have six published posts to qualify to incentivize my writings. I forgot that, and I’ve submitted my application for it.

I understand that there are plenty of wicked people who’d find loopholes and abuse a system, The System, any system. And it hurts, for someone like me who is genuinely in need of a system, to have it denied for me because of those other people. But I get it. Not the hoops I’ve had/will have to jump through just to get something I should be able to easily get by merit alone. I get the desperation, the lack of worldview, the lack of experience — the lack of intelligence altogether — that wrought people to cheat systems.

I also get that not all systems have humans in mind, and therefore is unfair for a large number of humans. But.. meh.

Anyway, there’s a story for another time. Right now I’m just going to enjoy my Gado-gado in peace.
