I just realized I’m a slave of the previous me. Why couldn’t I have all the work done already? I’m also a slave of my future... A slave of the dream and aspirations of those people I want to become.

The quality of a web address is rated according to 2 criteria: simplicity and how professional it sounds. If you can chose your domain it should always be .com because it is universal and not local like the .co.uk or the .pt. Unfortunately .net sounds cheap for absolutely no reason.
