These are the kind of people who don't need friends or family or money to be happy and won't feel lonely. They know what they want in life.
Hope more edmwers can reach such mental state instead of opening thread and complaining of loneliness.
Complaint about hyperinflation and cost of living kym?

Doing what he loves is what matters. Be it locally or overseas. With or without recognition or high pay.

Not everyone chases or climbs the corporate ladder.
