I just did the math. I'm at $6,504.38. I wasn't gonna cry. But let me start from the beginning. Last year, I bought a condo we both fell in love with. Problem is, it made me no house I couldn't even afford to propose because the ring she deserves, dollars 6,500. And I started at zero. So I started Good Dashing because waiting for the perfect moment is just fear with a deadline. And she deserved more than my excuses. That was eight months ago. Honestly, I didn't think it would take this long or that it would be this tough. My schedule will be to finish a shift by 9PM, write a script, film until midnight, edit until 2AM, and then be up again by 6AM for my corporate job. And there were so many times I questioned worse it would be worth it. I remember the night my car broke down in the cold, wondering what if I just took one of the free rings. I also got so sick Bad had to stop for two weeks and almost lost my job over a video I posted about all of this. Yet every single day, I still made it back to her. And I think that's the part I'm most proud of. Not the money or the ring, but no matter how hard my day was, I didn't stop showing up. And now I finally hit the goal. Eight months ago, Julia deserved more than my excuses. And today, I didn't just earn $6,500 I earned the right to ask. Eighty nine days done. Dollars 6,504 and 38¢ out of 6,500. Let's go get the ring. Follow to see the proposal.
