I wore a tux to a 1,000-person wedding and left realizing one thing:

you don’t need to do the ā€œrightā€ thing... just "your" thing.

It was one of those nights where you see everyone from your past:
- High school friends
- College classmates
- People you haven’t spoken to in years

And it’s wild to see how different everyone’s paths look now.
Some are doctors, founders, teachers, didn’t go to college, married, chefs, lawyers, or have kids.

There’s no single timeline anymore.
Everyone’s just figuring it out in their own way.

Throughout the night, a few people came up to me and said:
ā€œAJ, you’re doing the thing with Creator Match 🧩.ā€

Truth is… I don’t know if I am DOING the thing.
But I’m definitely TRYING to do the thing lol.

And that’s what matters most.

Because when you look around a room like that,
you realize there’s no single path that leads to happiness.

Some people peak early.
Some people peak late.
Most of us are still figuring it out.

So stop worrying about doing life ā€œthe RIGHT way.ā€
Just make sure you’re doing it YOUR way.

That’s the thing worth doing.

PS - if you need more motivation to post on LinkedIn... several ppl at the wedding came up to me saying they recognized me LOL. What a wold world we live in man.
