My life is full of distress and agony, i've been through ups and downs. Life have been so tough that I found it difficult to smile even when people crack jokes around me. I can't just imagine living same life since I have been to this cruel and unfortunate life. Never knew what really came up when I was conceived. Working like an elephant and eating like a cockroach. I had a lot of thoughts some years back. I felt like committing suicide before I came across a man who thought me a lot of things about life, I was told that the downfall of a man is not the end of his life. Although I'm in my early 20's, but seeing my friends making it early makes me think I'm unfortunate but I was convince that people's time differs. A lot of oppressions all around me. Seeing people making it young not even knowing the source of their wealth but I feel sad whenver I think about my life. My parents have always been a source of motivation.
Whenever we converse, I always have a confidence that things will get better with time.
The last time I had a great depression was the time I hang out with my old time friend. We've seen for the past nine years during our college days. He is now a C.E.O of his own company. I mean he is self employed. He owns a store where he sells a lot of designer wears. He has alot of staff working under him.
We rode in his new car; Lexus ES350.
Getting to the lounge where we went to hang out, I felt like I was not part of the world. Everything seems strange to me becasue I've never been to such hotel. It was a 5-star hotel where a lot of politicians and celebrities come to hang out. We had a lot of fun and discussed about our past. He asked about my current project but I had nothing to talk about. He felt pity for me but he never told me how to make things out on my own. I felt neglected but life is all about time.

My love for luxurious made me think I was not hustling enough, I kept on trying but my effort never yielded. I tried a lot of investments but all to no avail. My mom will always tell me Rome was not built in a day and to become a man is not a day's job. So, these words keep me going and I have the belief in myself that things will definitely turn out for good at due time.
A lot of people out there have committed suicide all in the name of not making while their mates are progressing.
I never lost hope in myself because I always have the belief in myself. This reminds me of a legendary artist; Akon in one of his tracks. The lyrics goes thus: No stress no strain, no pain no gain. We have all been down the road before hoping one day we will explore what's behind the closing door. Truly, there's light at the end of every tunnel. I've always known myslef to be a conqueror, victor, trimmer, subduer, vanquisher and a invictus. I never gave up but still hoping things will definitely work out for good.
I joined digital marketer group in my university immediately after my graduation around late August this year and they introduced me to Fiverr as a freelancer, I over searched for jobs for more than a month and there was no job, every other members got job and I was there waiting on hope,

I never give up, two weeks ago there was turn around in my life when I got four jobs at time, going to around 400$, I was so happy and feel celebrated.

This is a note of advice for the youth out there struggling and hustling that one day, we will all be celebrated. We are more than a conqueror only if we can endure till the end. We are invincible, we can never be defeated because we are invictus. Stand your ground, build your strength from innermost you.
