I just found a winning ticket by chance, that’s all it was. But, I guess you could say it wasn’t pure luck, but a chance I got by being fairly likable over the years.

I didn’t know I’d built up a brand back home. People 2 and 3 degrees away from my circle knew me better than I’d thought, which was what got her willing to break out of her shell. Without that she’d probably ghost because she’d get in her head and spin out over nothign.
