A while back, I almost sold one of my best bags.

Not because I stopped believing in the project.
Not because anything was fundamentally wrong.
Life just got difficult.
The market was down, bills were piling up, and selling felt like the easiest way out.
I sat with that decision for a while, and it made me realize something: conviction isn't really tested when everything is green. It's tested when holding becomes uncomfortable.
Since then, I've tried to give myself reasons to hold beyond price, learning, building, contributing, and thinking long term.
Because when your only reason is profit, every dip feels like a signal to quit.
That experience changed how I approach investing.
