I don't know about you guys, but I'm still in a pretty good mood despite being declined.

I quit my job yesterday and I'm going to be working on my (3rd) startup full time.

It's liberating to become completely dependent on your own ability.

Bootstrapping: "a self-sustaining process that proceeds without external help"

I just quit yesterday too!! I feel happy and stupid, because in my situation I'm the only bread winner in my family, so they're really dependent on me for money (even though I'm only 21).

But I was getting miserable at work because all I wanted to do was work on my startup. I'm looking for other seed funding now since I can't afford to bootstrap. Let's see how this turns out. And let's hope my family doesn't starve.

I'm available to freelance as a UX/Mobile designer for anyone hiring in nyc! Money to tide us over as I work on my startup would be nice :)

What are your other startups? What's your ongoing startup? Do you have a resume ? :)
