I'm mostly posting this entry for gold.
But I do have something to update about. smile
LONG STORY TIME. surprised
So this all started, almost two months ago. [It would be two months tomorrow.] When the banks were forced to close. I had 250k in RPOG. I got all my money back. Yay. I had roughly 55k in RBG. I haven't got that back yet, and I don't think I will. I made a stupid stupid mistake. And then I had about 20k with me on my Gaia account.
Before the banks closed, when they were still in operation, I never once withdrew my gold from either bank. My quest bar was dependent upon what interest I had collected in both banks with my original deposit along with what I had in my Gaia account. That was my mistake. I was adding on gold I never had to begin with. So I had a little over 300k by myself. But at the time, with interest, I would've had 410k.
And I never thought I'd get to be there again. Or this far in my quest.
You see, I was lucky. I didn't have just the banks as my means of income. I take commissions, I make banners, I vend, and I do my 2k-a-day quest. Heck, the 2k quest was the reason I had all that gold to begin with. wink
So when I got my RPOG gold back, I did things like I used to, hoping I just wouldn't be behind of where I need to be. And I wasn't. I was amazed.
And then, I was going to get my 55k back from RBG, I sent the trade correctly, and then they confirmed it. I thought I was supposed to confirm it twice. No. I was only supposed to confirm it once. The second time I confirmed it, I did it so fast, I didn't notice I accidentally hit "cancel." So, I don't think I'll see my 55k from RBG ever again. But that's okay, because once again, I'm lucky. smile
So yesterday, I finally sold the Winged Anklets I had for a week. [I was waiting for them to inflate.] And when I sold them for 368k, the grand total of gold in my account amounted to...410k. You can imagine how shocked and happy I was. I cannot tell you how much that moment meant to me. I was amazed to learn, that I had done it. I had caught up.
And it wasn't just my own doing.
It was because of everyone's help.
I have had so many people and charities donate to me during the duration of this quest. [Still going on. wink ]
I have had roughly 65k donated to me by you wonderful Gaians.
So I'd like to thank you all.
Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. You help me to break my own record every day. I really appreciate that. biggrin heart
So what's the point of this journal?
To let you all know that, if you really really try hard enough and are very dedicated, you can and will succeed. I am living proof.
I started with nothing on this account. No gold, no clothes, nothing. Just like every new member.
And then I saw it. The Kitsune Mask. I decided I had to have it. And then I saw the price tag. I thought "No way! I'm never going to have that much gold in my life." A month later, I decided that I'd make that gold. No matter how much work it took. And then, that's when I thought of the 1k-a-day idea. You see, originally, the quest was to make 1k a day for two years, every day. I'd have 730k. Enough to buy a Mask. And then, I found that I could make 2k a day, and that would obviously cut the amount of time in half. And then I changed my quest to the 2k-a-day quest. And from there, I have skyrocketed to now. 412k. A little more than 200k away from my ask. With the help of you, the donors, my vending, you commissioning me, and my banner-making, I have made it to 412k. And I couldn't have done it without you all. Your kindness and encouragement has helped me come this far.
Especially my good friend, Celestial Dawn. Or CD as I like to call him. smile He has been so supportive of my quest and me. At one point, I was about to quit, after six months, but he talked me out of it. He told me that he hated to see me quit. Because I had been so hard-working since day one, it would have been useless to quit then. He also has donated so much to me. Bumps, gold, trash items and the likes. He's been one of the biggest helps in this quest, so for that I'd like to thank him from the bottom of my heart. You have no idea how much your support has meant to me.
I was planning to do this journal after I had finished my Kitsune Mask quest, but I thought now would be a good time.
Okay. So now that I spent roughly 20 minutes typing all that, I hope you all see my point and understand what I'm trying to say.
Thank you. heart
