Choosing Between Practicality or Self Pleasure

Before I jump on my topic let me share with you my experiences on cash rain so far, it's pretty remarkable to see different communities promoting their social media in the exchange for raining cash to their members. In my community named Jura Tempest Federation which I stated in my last article that was coming from an anime, so far it has 665 members and my Twitter account had 260 followers but I am not promoting anything maybe my Twitter account will be useful in the future once I have a freelance job that requires an audience.

On the website cashrain, I encountered a bug in which I cashrain a dollar to my 40 members in 3 hours, a lot of my members participated and after the timer runs out I pay using a bitcoin wallet. I was confused why my transaction is pending even though it takes only seconds to confirm a transaction in BCH. I checked the transaction in smart scan and my transaction is in the queue. I went back to my bitcoin wallet to check and it was confirmed but when I go back to cash rain, the event is still there, and once I click it shows I need to send it again.

I don't want to risks though cause every penny also matters to me. I checked the cashrain's discord channel and report a bug, this morning the moderator told me that the reward had been distributed to my members but not displaying on my dashboard, maybe it's a new bug they need to fix but they say they are already making action to fix it. Seems like I talk a lot, let's go back to my main topic which is choosing between practicality and self-pleasure.

A few days ago, our classroom had a meeting to have a year-end party in which we are going to have swimming in Panglao located in Laguna. They say it will be held on December 19-20, everyone is excited but some are hesitant to join due to factors like no money to contribute and there are lots of things to accomplish first before joining the said plan. I am one of those hesitant people who are thinking between practicality and self-pleasure. Honestly, I want to join in swimming and bond with my classmates but the fact is, I have nothing to contribute due to lack of money. I am broke right now and just surviving on my passive income.

Added to that, we have a thesis project that cost 100k in PHP since it was solar. I was thinking to become practical since there are lots of times when I can enjoy myself, maybe once I graduate I can swim whenever and wherever I want. Also, I feel like once I joined them in swimming maybe I can feel out of place since I knew only those who are in the circle of friends will join that's why I am also hesitant. Maybe I will choose to be practical for now since Christmas is coming and I need money to buy gifts for my crushes, just kidding. Of course, I want to save money to gift myself, I deserve a gift for myself for all the suffering I made right now in our thesis.

It's very stressful since I'm the only one who's making our RRL, once they complain about my work, then I will slap the paper on their faces hahaha, kidding again. How bout you, what's your plan for this Xmas are you going to choose your self-desire or stick to the fact that life is very hard and needs to become practical?
